Sturdy, well made. Handle installation trick...
Sturdy, but handle difficult to install however I figured out the trick to installing it. Once inserted by hand I placed the tray upside-down on the floor and held on to my kitchen counter to support my weight while evenly standing on the flat connecting areas of the handle. My body weight pressed it into place. If the handle is not in deep enough, the remaining assembly can't be completed. This cart is large, strong, and easy to maneuver.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE! - AND ONE ISSUE WITH MAKER'S PACKING
It's pretty amazing that the maker doesn't supply EASY instructions, as if you understand the thing, it is easy. But, I had mine partially assembled in the wrong order before I deduced this, and I was FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS! But, I'll continue to assemble mine in that manner, as I will need to place a tall item that won't fit between the lip of the lower tray and the bottom of the upper tray, but will fit, if loaded before the top tray goes on. But, that assembly order backwards, or at least much harder and really should have 2 people to make it easier! So, here's the best, and easiest, way to assemble this. Not understanding this, is why another reviewer stated that you really need 2 people to do it. You don't!First, set the top tray on the floor, upside down & install the handle. The fit will be tight, and you may be tempted to use a hammer. Don't! Use a mallet, or a rubber hammer, and be careful where you strike the thing, or you knock holes in it. Even after mine was all the way down, when I tried to insert the legs after installing the handle, the ones on the handle end wouldn't go all the way down. This is the only difficult area I encountered, and it'll be difficult no matter in which order you assemble it. There are 2 small, for lack of a better word, 'struts' protruding from the bottom of the handle piece, near each outer end. They are too long, and they interfere with the legs seating all the way. You'll need to use some sort of tool to cut them shorter. I used my Dremel® with a cutoff wheel. But, it could also be done with a good sharp knife, or maybe a box cutter. Once trimmed back, the legs will then insert fully. Now, you can install the retaining screws for those legs.Next, place the bottom tray over the upward pointing lower legs. Then, set a castor onto one corner. Manipulate each leg to make the flange fit into the recess for it. Then, insert the first bolt up from the bottom and out the hole in the castor, assuring that the square shoulder of the carriage bolt fits properly into the square holes in the leg flanges, and start a nut. You'll need to hold the bolt up in the hole, doing this with one hand, & starting the nut with the other. But, the castor will sit there for you, without the need for someone to hold it in place while you install the 1st bolt. Once the nuts are finger tight, the square shoulder of the carriage bolts will allow you to tighten the nuts with a single wrench. Again, be certain the the square shoulder of the carriage bolt has fit properly into the square opening in the leg's flange, through which you're inserting the bolt & before tightening, or you will damage the square shape of the hole. Do all 4 bolts on all 4 corners, stand it upright, and you're done!Biggest secret to making it easy for one person to do, is starting with the top tray on the floor, upside down. I began by bolting the legs and castors to the bottom tray (per the instructions), and that was really tricky, trying to hold the castor in place, while using one hand to hold the bolt in the hole from falling out, and the other hand to start the nut. I actually used my chest to hold the castors in position while I did that! Of course, that was only necessary for the first bolt, as once it's in, the castor can no longer fall off. That's why some people have decided that you need 2 people, one to hold the castor, while the other one holds the bolt and starts the nut!But, I do have one big issue. It was listed as coming with 2 fixed castors and 2 swivel castors. It didn't! SOME SLEEPY PLANT WORKER PLACED 4 FIXED CASTORS IN THIS BOX, WHICH MAKES THE CART USELESS, UNLESS ONE ONLY NEEDS TO ROLL IT IN A STRAIGHT LINE! As I needed this assembled before Christmas, planning to roll it out as a gift with tool boxes already on it, I needed a quick solution. So, the most expedient way, was to simply order a set of swivel castors from Amazon. I found a locking set that had the same bolt pattern dimensions and next day delivery for $32.99, and I ordered them. But, the locking feature on them caused a problem, as the mounting bolts for the castors are about 1/16" too long, and the locking mechanism strikes them, preventing rotation. Non locking castors would not have done this. Again, my Dremel came to the rescue. I used the cut off wheel again to cut about 1/16" from the end of each bolt, and the problem was solved. But, not everyone has a Dremel, or safety glasses to use with it.Normally, Amazon would handle the issue of the improper castors, by having me return the entire unit, replacing it with another one. But, being a 112 Lb 78 year old who lives alone, I'm just not strong enough to lift the thing into my cargos a return is difficult for me. Plus, as I mentioned, I needed it assembled in time for Christmas morning, and with the logistics of making a return and getting another cart shipped, that was doubtful. So, I'm waiting for Amazon to make a decision. I've offered them 2 options. First, is to advance me a promotional credit, to cover the cost of the set of 4 (the only way Amazon sells them), 5" swivel castors for $30.00, which I'm pretty sure they'll do. But, in lieu of that, I've asked them to arrange a return and to arrange a prepaid UPS pickup for the return. If they insist on a return, I'll ask that they wait until after Christmas to arrange that pickup date. I'll then, also, arrange a return of the 4 swivel castors, as this wasn't my error, and I see no reason to be stuck with them! Like I said, I'm a 112 pound 78 year old, who lives alone. I handled the weight of this thing, by having the delivery driver set the box where I could simply open it and assemble it right here, without ever having to move the over 40 Lb box! There's just no way I can lift it into my car!

Perfect for shop use.
This was very easy to put together and for what I got it for it is perfect. Says it holds up to 500lbs. Seems very sturdy great wheels rolls very easy. Thinking about buying another one.

Exactly what I needed
This cart is very sturdy - I’d say commercial grade. Bigger than I thought - but that’s a plus. We’ll definitely get a lot of use out of this.

Difficult to build
Difficult to put together as pieces did not line up properly. Had to trim some edges to get to fit.

Clear instructions
Sturdy but very confusing instructions for assembly. Had to do some modifications because of bad fitment.
