This wagon has a sturdy frame with a neat design and dump feature. The wagon bucket is shallower than I expected, but fine for my needs of hauling chicken food and yard waste around. The hardward is typical of "made in China" poor quality nuts/bolts. The wagon assembled easily enough following the basic instructions (requiring a few guesses and some advice from my 10 year old son). Very cool design! A bit disappointing on two parts, the hardware had two bolts that the nuts just refused to go onto because of poor machine threading at the manufacturer.I had to finally go to the hardward store and get replacements. Second, when I emailed customer service two weeks ago, they have not responded. Also, the bucket is just plain flimsy. I know it will be the first part of the system to break. I am planning to store it out of the sunlight or it will no doubt die earlier than one would expect. It is very handy and much easier and safer to use than a 3 wheel wagon. I'd buy it again, but with lower expectations. It seems you can't buy much for under $100 bucks these days.

Just received this wagon. Good size for hauling yard stones, dirt and debris. If it was any bigger with the heavy stuff and it would be to hard to control for the average gardener. Its to small for leaves and grass clippings. This thing was way too complex to assemble and took over an hour. And I am an Contractor. It could of come mostly assembled and fit in the same size box.

This seems like a pretty nice wagon. I like the dump feature. I would not recommend anywhere near 600 lbs be put in it. I only wish the wagon tub was a heavier gauge material like they have on those fiberglass wheelbarrows. Maybe I can figure a way to strengthen the tub.

I have had this wagon for 2 years now, and it's handy for me to haul my garden products around. I don't use it for anything heavy. The four wheels and dump feature are particularly handy for me. The assembly wasn't too bad, but the nuts & bolts are cheap & already rusting. I will eventually have to go out & buy SS hardware so it doesn't have a failure. I would recommend this for general yard use but probably not for 600 lbs. of anything!

Product is very good, tough, maneuverable, good for carrying stuff or for riding kids. Instructions for assembly are challenging to understand and you will need metric and non metric tools to assemble

This Cart is suitable for very light duty yard work. The holding capacity of the flimsy tub is minimal. The dumping action is quite clever but lack of quality in the materials used minimizes this advantage. All in all not a satisfying purchase for me because I was expecting something heavy duty with more cargo capacity.

I purchased this at the local Lowe's building supply store, and bought one that was preassembled rather than one that was in the box. (If you do this, check that all the bolts are tight.) It is sold under the name "Duraworx" Dumping Garden Cart, rather than "Gorilla Carts," but is manufactured by the same company, Tricam, and is essentially the same cart.

I used the cart for planting several very large Arbor Vitae. It will hold 200-300 lbs. of soil without problems, but more than that is probably not advisable or manageable.

My garage is also my woodworking shop and is crammed with equipment & tools, not to mention the car. So I like the fact that this cart is fairly compact, especially if you take the handle off, as I do, and hang the cart up on the garage wall. It is more stable than a wheelbarrow & uses less space when stored than a wheel barrow or 2-wheeled garden cart.

I think it is good value for the money.

The wagon is wonderful. Easy to pull and use, does the job nicely.
I do agree, though, with previous reviewers about the assembly being way to complex for the average gardener.
Best make sure that you have a helper (preferably with some muscle), because the size of the bucket makes threading and tightening nuts and bolts a circus act since you have to have one hand under and one hand on the other side of it. The bad threading makes tightening the bolts very hard.
All the hardware is second rate at best. The instructions are awful. I practiced my cussing vocabulary despite the fact that I actually LIKE assembling things and am also (due to a job way back) versed in blue print reading.
Do yourself a favor and work from the exploded parts drawing. The step by step instructions are worse than useless, they actually confuse things.
I am giving this a 3 star because I do like the wagon, but the assembly instructions and hardware are among the worst I have seen and the bucket does seem a bit flimsy. The frame might support 600 lbs, but the bucket will not.
Addendum -- I am increasing the rating from 3 to 4 now that I have used the wagon for a few months and have mentally and physically recovered from the back-breaking assembly. It has held up nicely, even though I have placed very heavy stuff in it and carted it all over terrible terrain. The tires stay inflated (only had to add air once), it moves easily and maneuvers nicely. I love it. It has paid for itself many times over.

Poor and cheaply built. Would not hold any were near 600lbs. Assembly was not ease its like its made of spare parts, 2 hex head bolts are a different size from the nuts. There are 2 Philips screws and 1 standard screw. Some parts don't align correctly the bolts go in at an angle. You can tell that the screw heads will break through the cheap plastic bottom and sides before to long. Its more like a child s toy. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY If was't so time consuming to disassemble and return I would sent it back.

I like this cart. Easy to move around and saves me picking up heavy items myself. Can just move it in the cart. A good cart for yardwork!
