Palm Springs Outdoor Heavy Duty Garden Cart/Utility Wagon - 600lbs Max Capacity

Great product for the price..It takes time to assemble. I found it easier to first label the parts in the detailed instructions as the part names (letters) get confusing.It can tip over when traveling along a slope.Easily attaches to my lawn tractor (though what did I do with the handle attachment pin??)

Delivery: The item was promised for delivery between the 20th and the 25th. It arrived on the 20th. It was packed quite well. Appropriate packing material was used to prevent metal parts from scratching each other. There were no missing parts.Piece parts and sub-assemblies: All of these appeared to be made quite well with good welds and what would turn out to be very good fits, accurate hole locations and sizes. The wheel assemblies were especially impressive. They were made well with what appeared to be good bearings for ease of operation.Finished product: I have never used any other garden wagons so I can’t make a comparison. However, I am impressed by the product after assembly. I will be using it for the usual applications in the garden. I will also be using it to move a couple of lawn fountains when it is time to store them for the winter and take them out for the summer. The fountains are quite heavy and I don’t anticipate that the wagon will be overloaded. I am sure the fountains will dent panels and scratch the paint off of metal parts. I will be using the product as a “work” wagon – not a “show” wagon.Assembly: This is the only downside I found with the wagon. The instructions could have been better. It took me a bit less that one hour to assemble the wagon. I was drinking a beer during assembly so I don’t know if that contributed or detracted from the time needed.Here’s ways the instructions could have been improved. They could have begun with: “things you need”. In my case, I used three wrenches: 12mm, 13mm, and 19mm. Sockets would have been better but I couldn’t find my metric sockets. The metric wrenches fit quite well and I don’t know how well fractional wrenches/sockets would have fit. “Things you need” could also have included: access to an air compressor. I used an electric compressor that I typically used to inflate bicycle tires. It inflated each wagon tire in about fifteen seconds.The pictures used to illustrate the instructions were quite poor. They were black and white and appeared as blobs where parts were shown to mate. The photos were adequate to see where parts fit together but of little use to see which way parts were facing. In this age of digital photography, there is no excuse for these poor quality illustrations.Also, I think Step 5 should have been included as a part of Step 4 rather than as a subsequent step.Before beginning any step, I would recommend reading the following step first before proceeding.If the instructions had been better I would have given it five stars. As it is, to me it is a four star product.

The paint job was poorly done large scratches down to bare metal on several of the pieces. Rust is the biggest problem I have with outdoor metal tools and devices here. Paint was so bad I had to repaint the cart. The directions were not very clear, however it was easy to assemble and pieces fit well. Other than that it looks to be OK.

Basically, not one nut/bolt on this thing functioned properly - that is, even holding the bolt immobile, and putting a socket on it, and using my full weight was the only way to turn the nut on the bolt - and of course, after just a turn or two it completely froze. Now the nuts were all on the bolts initially, so it can't be I had a wrong nut on the bolt, or that I had misthreaded it. I ended up buying new nuts and bolts - a really time consuming task.It really is a shame, cause now that I got it assembled I find it very useful

The cart arrived in a damaged box and the cart itself had minor damage, but we were able to straighten the damaged pieces and put the cart together.The first time we used it however, the canvas liner ripped, it's very light weight, not durable at all for yard work. We put several shovels of gravel in the wagon and the stone actually punctured the flimsy liner, the seem ripped and the puncture holes were in the bottom and sides of the liner where the rock pressed through the mess material.Also while using the first day we discovered the two of the four tires had slow leaks. So when we got the gravel shoveled into the wagon two of the tires were flat. We've tried pumping the tires, but it's no use. We have to get the tires repaired.The construction of the wagon is not secure the sides do not clip into place tightly, so unless you are hauling items bigger than a 2 inch diameter, the items will fall through the frame gaps.I usually am very pleased with Amazon's items, but this one is a definite DO NOT BUY. Go to your Home Goods store or Costco and get a Gorilla Cart or the same price, Gorilla carts don't come with a liner, but the fold down sides are far more secure, and you can make your own liner with a much better quality canvas as a separate purchase.

This cart is AWESOME!! Exactly what I need to help with my many gardening chores. Great product at a great price.

I would give this a 5star but my husband was the one who put it together says 4. This is why, the liner came with a hole in it at the seam. The tires were not aired up and the instructions on some steps were a little off. The handle is very stiff. I found the wagon to be sturdy. I used it to transport dirt and rock. The ground is not level very rough and no signs of wanting to tip. Love the flip down sides. Love my little green wagon (garden cart). Perfect size and price. I would recommend this product. It arrived on time as promised.
