Assembly was a huge problem.

The tool provided does not function as described. The metal poles for each corner are covered with a rubber tube. This makes the pole too large to slide the plastic cups inside the nuts at each corner. The rubber tube was probably intended to help get a secure hold when the nut is tightened. It look like the manufacturer never tested the finished product to check assembly or doesn't have sufficient quality control if these parts are out of spec.

A wide blade screwdriver was needed to push the back and side panels into the snaps of the bottom. A knife was needed to angle the rubber tube at the end of each pole to remove the flare and create more of a bevel. A wooden mallet and thick pad were needed to push the poles into the bottom cups and again to push the top onto the tops of the poles.

Yes. I thought it was just me. The only way I could get the panels into the slots was with a rubber mallet and I was afraid the entire time of breaking something. I really had to swing away to get the panels in there. It would be easy to hit off center and break the bottom parts. I did't have a problem with the metal rubber coated posts but I could see if they were slighly deformed it would be hard to do. But once together it is a nice outside cart.

I will say that I mistakenly clicked in the wheel cap without the wheel on and had to hacksaw it back off! ( like an idiot) When I called the service number and told them I had made a mistake they were very nice and instantly sent another cap free of charge. I liked the speed and the free of charge part a lot. Excellent customer service from suncast.

This was without a doubt the most poorly designed piece of garbage I've ever been stupid enough to buy. The basic problem was that the plastic-coated metal poles - which have to slide down the openings on each corner to hold this thing together - would not slide thru the plastic openings, which were just barely large enough to hold the poles. The only way I could get the poles in place was to use a sledge hammer and pound with all my strength. And, of course, the poles had to be pounded down far enough so that when the top was installed on them, it would fit snugly over the bottom storage area. There was some little plastic "wrench" included for some reason. I assume it must have been a joke on the part of the assembly workers, since it served no purpose whatsoever. I had to use a screwdriver (to snap the sides in place), a wrench (to loosen the rings), and the aforementioned sledge hammer. So, if you buy this, make sure you have these tools available and are ready for a heavy duty workout. It's a pretty good stress reliever, though.

The little "tool" did not help. It took a while to get the cart assembled. Now that it is assembled, its a great addition to the back yard.

I've been using this cart to hold various gardening accessories outside for about four years in a sunny spot and its still in great shape. Everything inside has been kept dry during rain. I had a harder time assembling it than I thought I was going to. I was worried the plastic wheels were going to give out but they're still just fine. Overall, this was one of my favorite Mother's Day gifts.

I bought one and then after putting it together for all the barbeque items I had to buy one for my husband to put tools in.
The next summer we bought two more. Placing a roll of paper towels on one of the posts on the top of the cart (you may have to take out the cardboard roll) and a patio chair cover over the top(I bought one at the dollar store)makes it more useful and helps to keep everything clean even with cats outside.

We just moved and had absolutely no room to put barbecue tools, charcoal, lighter fluid, etc...so I ordered this cart. It holds all of our stuff and we have a lot. It even provides room on top as a workstation. I recommend this product to anyone who grills out often. It is even a snap to assemble.

I assembled the cart with no problems. However, I can see how there might be problems if any of the tubes become slightly crimped on the ends. I guess it's luck of the draw. All issues of assembly aside, this is a great cart. I use it as a potting bench and it has a great deal of storage and bench top recesses for my shears, fertilizers, and other random stuff. Great price too, compared to the more expensive potting bench by suncast. I like how it rolls too, I leave mine in my garage in front of my water shut-off valve so it's nice to be able to roll it out of the way with ease.

This is the 2nd Suncoast Garden Cart I have purchased. No other company makes this type of product that I can leave outdoors in my rose garden, hold all of my supplies, and have a counter top on which to work. It is also eye pleasing and durable and affordable. The last one lasted 5 years and was replaced because a can of pruning spray exploded inside of the cart from the heat, making it unusable.

Problems=
1-The wheels are a real pain. They fall off as soon as you try to roll the cart (it is better as a stationery cart)no matter how well you install them
2-The front feet,not on wheels,bend with any weight on them.
3-If it came in a color that blended better in the landscape that would be a plus
3-I can only find this product on-line. It would be great if Home Depot, Walmart, Lowes or Target carried it locally.

I previously had this cart and was unable to move it from TX to
Tenn so was pleased to be able to replace it via Amazon. Look forward to using the new one. It is a great for the outdoors.
