 - This Little Cart Can Do The JobGot the Agri-Fab 7-Cubic Foot Garden Cart to replace an old, worn-out garden cart. It's smaller and a bit more cheaply made, but came at a much lower price. Thanks to the earlier reviewer who suggested adding washers at the screw heads on the inside of the cart, it is fairly sturdy. Though smaller, it's big enough for gardening chores on our flower and vegetable beds. I'd never call it a farm cart, but it's a decent, little garden cart. Rating:  - below average quality and a terrible odor out of the boxThis gardenway knock off is of elow average quality and had apparently been fumigated or treated somehow inside the container or box, with a not very healthy odor that had to be aired out for 10 days before assembly. Wierd green color of the plywood not apparent in photos. Look further for a better product. Rating: - A Pretty Decent Yard/Garden CartI was in need of a yard/garden cart for hauling wood, brush, gardening stuff, etc. as the wheelbarrow doesn't work that well in all situations. I read all the reviews I could find on this cart; some pro, some con, and decided to go for it. So far so good. The assembly wasn't bad. The instructions were fairly explanatory and straightforward, and all the hardware was included. The welds on the metal parts were decent and the paint job was good on all parts. I decided to add flat washers to each bolt on the inside (against the plywood) to ensure that they didn't dig into or pull through the wood, and to provide a tight, solid hold. It helped to have an awl handy for lining up the holes when mounting metal frame pieces to the wooden sides and bottom. Assembly time was probably an hour. I wouldn't call this cart "heavy duty" but it certainly seems adequate for a good workout on our homestead. I have found it to be a pretty tough and versatile so far, at least for home use. I have used it for hauling firewood, brush, and yard waste, and it easily handles a hefty load. It seems pretty well balanced so it isn't too heavy on the handle when pushing/pulling loads. I am glad I didn't get the 14 cubic foot cart that I see is available; I think it would be too big (and heavy) for many projects, and more difficult to navigate in wooded areas. Time will tell how it holds up, but the workmanship seems decent (especially considering its origin-China) and I wouldn't hesitate to get another one if needed. It sure beats pushing the wheelbarrow around. I would probably give it a 5-star but I haven't had it long enough to make that endorsement. Rating:  - eonomical cartAgri-Fab 7-Cubic-Foot Garden Cart #45-0176 I have done construction work for 35 years and have been an organic gardener for as long. This cart is the most economical labor saving device one can obtain. It is more versatile and maneuverable and can handle 300 lb. loads without a problem. My wife uses it as much as I do and is as admiring as I am. Rating: - judge longTHIS IS THE BEST BUY I HAVE MADE IN YEARS. I AM 80 AND HAVE BEEN FIGHTING A WHEELBARROW FOR ALMOST THAT LONG. EVEN THOUGH IT IS A BIT FLIMSY, I WILL BUY ANOTHER EVEN IF IT ONLY LASTS 3 MONTHS
