I am leaving this product review to put anyone at rest if they are on the fence about buying this product. I debated several weeks about buying this after reading numerous reviews about being smelly, hard to assemble and cheaply made.
1-this thing is a beast. Well built, sturdy, easy to move across different terrains and yes EASY TO ASSEMBLE.
2- you don't need to buy different hardware. Hardware supplied works just fine!
Now, I am what I would consider to have average to below average mechanical skills. IE: I would generally pay a hardware store to assemble this for me. But the price was attractive to me that the local Lowe's wanted $119 for a comparable model.
Tools I used.
Electric battery operated drill/screw driver.
1 regular screw driver
Needle nose pliers
Large pliers
Power extension 3/8" drive
11/16" socket for handle
1/2" socket for all others
I started by separating all pieces and left the hardware in the container. You simply start with #1 and work your way thru the pack.
Then I loosely put all pieces together. Screwed all pieces hand tight, not wheels or handle. Next i took my electric drill, attached the power extension, 1/2" socket and put that out the nut end. Holding the screw with the regular screw driver, I tightened the nut. Easy as that.
Now the wheels (see photos). Put on washer, then wheel, put the pin in and bent back each end of the pin.
Put the handle on and didn't have a socket big enough, so i simply used the large pliers and tightened.
Assemble took 30 minutes from unpacking to being done. I am very pleased with this item and would highly encourage purchasing!
Oh and smell... It did have a new tire smell but nothing over bearing.

Received 2nd cart reasonably quickly. Box was in worse shape than the first one, but the bed was intact. I used unpacked parts from the first cart and the bed from the 2nd to complete the rather time consuming assembly process and have now "tested" the cart and returned the damaged bed and packed parts from the 2nd unit in the box from the first one.
To other potential purchasers... I suspect that there are better, more durable versions of this design. I ran into a guy in our parking lot who was visiting. He commented that he had purchased one of these and ended up scrapping it because the bed broke at the bolt holes after a relatively short period of use.
My advice is this: Snug every bolt using a relatively short ratchet handle and enough pressure so the lock nuts do not budge when tried a 2nd time after all the nuts have been snugged the first time. Periodically check the nuts, especially the ones that will be affected when the cart is opened to dump and dropped back in place to be sure that vibration is not loosening them. Be cautious with loading and dumping and treat the bed carefully.
If it fails me, I will post additional comments. I'm an "old geezer" who plans to uses this for small landscaping projects. I like the fact that it is very light weight. Before I completed the assembly, I used my bicycle pump (which has a pressure gage) to put 30lb of air in all four tires. You can feel the difference the extra pressure makes. The cart rolls quite easily.
I like the design and the relatively light weight. I'm 75 and have had major surgery to repair an Aortic aneurysm, so I'm not supposed to be lifting, or carrying heavy loads. I just used the cart to bring groceries from my car, and I'm using it to fetch and spread mulch on flower beds, etc., etc. The other day, I accidentally left the parking lights on in my truck, and it would not start. I had the cart in the back of the truck, so I took out the battery, put it in the cart, and rolled it to the shop. I could not have carried it that far, but with the cart, it was a piece of cake. Left the cart with the battery, came back several hours later, loaded the battery up, and rolled it back to my truck, installed it, threw the cart in the bed, started up and drove everything home.... I find it much more versatile than a wheelbarrow, and with four wheels, it is more stable.
Guess what? After one season I have a tire that will not hold air! It looks like the valve stem for the tubeless tire on one wheel has come loose. What a PITA! I have downgraded my review again.

Inspect carefully before you start setting one of these up.
By The Ayres on May 4, 2018
Flawed Polly bed came with a hairline crack in it. The box had been opened and re-taped apparently by the shipper or in the warehouse. I did not discover the crack until I had started a rather complex assembly process that included pumping up all four of the tires to their rated capacity, reading the directions, and partially installing the first of several of the bolt on parts. On the assembly, it will go a lot faster if you have a 13mm relatively thin wall, deep well socket and ratchet and a wide blade or phillips screwdriver you can use to hold the bolts in position until the plastic filled lock nuts "take up" the slack. I have placed a return request for another identical unit in hopes that the bed cracking issue is a one-of shipping damage or inspection failure.By The Ayres on May 4, 2018

Well it seems ok but I’ve just spent two hours trying to tighten the first four bolts and only managed to tighten two of them. That’s with EXACTLY the four tools the instructions say are required. I’d like to get some use out of it this summer. I have about 12 cartfuls of dirt waiting to be moved. NOTE: I updated this review a month ago but for some reason it didn’t take. This cart is phenomenal. I love it! Two of the first four bolts are extremely difficult to tighten because they’re in a tight spot. Once those are done however, the remainder are easy to tighten. I have limited mobility so I couldn’t kneel down to put the cart together, and I don’t have a table that I could put it on; so I had to do all this sitting on the couch, with the cart “sort of” in my lap. That’s another reason it took me so long to put together - the first four bolts took two hours and the entire rest of the cart took another hour. Most people would have an easier go of it. But once set up, it performs like a dream! It’s maneuvers very well, and is narrow enough to go through a gate partially blocked by a yard bag of soil; and it dumps like a dream. The tires are beautiful so the cart moves smoothly over my bumpy back yard. Overall, I heartily recommend it. :D

If you need a boost of testosterone and self confidence get yourself a good set of ratcheting socket wrenches before building this wagon. It is pretty much next to impossible without socket wrenches...you could do it but why put yourself through the suffering unless you're into sadomasochism then by all means this would be a fantastic way to let your freak flag fly.Reviewed in Canada on June 16, 2021
With ratcheting socket wrenches you will end up with the most solidly built little garden wagon you have ever had the delight to own and you can be proud that you put the thing together easily and efficiently preventing assembly rage and a double hernia.
Once complete, you will marvel at the smooth maneuverability of the tiny turning radius and the multipurposeful uses for your new mode of dump and transport. You will find excuses to lug heavy amounts of dirt, rock, gravel, cement bags, garbage, livestock and wood just because you can!
