WEN 73163 Three-Tray 300-Pound Capacity Triple Decker Service and Utility Cart

I loved this cart so much I bought a second one. BIG TIP! Read through the directions only to see where which bolts and screws go, then throw them away!! The first cart I went by the directions and it was a nightmare trying to get the legs to fit. I finally started over from bottom up and was way easier. Second cart I knew exactly what to do.First, insert legs in to the slots to the bottom tray.Second, put the wheels on. Only hand tighten nuts.Third, attach handle to upper tray. Will fit on either end, but you have to decide if you want it opposite swivel wheels or not.Fourth, set upper tray on top of legs and in to slots.Fifth, screw in 3 screws to attach upper tray to legs.Sixth, tighten wheel nuts.Doing it this way is a breeze.This cart is very sturdy and well mad and a heck of a deal for the money. Even cheaper than HF. I have the swivel wheels to the front to make steering easier. I use one cart for all of my crawfish boiling/fish frying equipment including LP tanks so all i have to do is roll the entire cart out. I use the second one for just about everything. I have a lot of heavy packages delivered......cat litter, large bags of dog food, etc. so I keep it on my carport where deliveries are left and the delivery guys just stack the stuff on the cart for me and all i have to do is wheel it in. I also use it to bring groceries in, move anything heavy around. Just love the cart. Wish I had a third one for my power tools! Thanks WEN for providing a quality item for a great price!

The cart is the perfect size for the small space I have in the garage, and it feels very sturdy. But the fact that there are only 2 swivel casters and according to the instruction's diagram, they both go at the end where the handle is, it makes turning the cart while moving very difficult. I don't recall how grocery stores have their wheels, but I think they have the swivel wheels on the front, but I've already put a lot of junk on my cart and don't want to remove them and switch the swivel casters to the front to test. I don't intend to move the cart around much anyhow. Also, the way the handle is attached, I can see why a few reviews stated that their handle broke off the cart - if you have a lot of heavy stuff on the cart and you need to put downward pressure on the handle to lift the front for whatever reason, that handle will likely not be able to handle the opposing cart+stuff's heavy weight very well, especially when the product is advertised to be able to put 250-lbs of stuff on each tray (500-lb total).Very important to READ the instructions and don't just look at the exploded diagram view, it'll save you a lot of time and frustration!- The instructions will tell you exactly which part to put together in sequence. If you don't put the parts together in sequence, the cart will not be able to fit together in later steps. I would have preferred the exploded diagram to show the sequence of installation of each part since most don't read instructions thinking the diagram is all they need.- The handle must go onto the top tray first because the cart legs will lock it into place at a later step - you cannot even put the handle into the tray once the leg is in place. Use a mallet to pound the handle down onto the tray so that the grooves of both the handle and the tray are close to being flush. If they are not close to flush, in the next step, the legs will not be properly attach to the tray which is suppose to lock in the handle also.- Per the instruction, put the cart together UPSIDE DOWN with the top tray upside down on the floor and put the legs onto that upside down top tray first. This is important because each pair of legs are fitted with screws for a specific set of diagonal set of corner holes of the tray. If you mistakenly put the cart together right side up (as opposed to upside down) and put the legs onto the bottom tray and wheels first like I did, you risk the problem in later steps of having the wrong leg for the corners of the top tray...like I did! And you'll have to remove and redo because with the wrong leg for the corners of the top tray, the screws will not be aligned!- When working upside down, be careful not to drop any nut into those small structural pockets of the tray, it's a biatch trying to get them out.- A few reviews complained about the bolts not fitting properly because of the bolt's square part of the head. I see in their pictures they were actually putting the bolt onto the cart the wrong way! The flat head of the bolt goes in the inside of the tray (not the bottom), and at the inside of the tray is a square hole that receives the square part of the bolt. Make sure the square part of the bolt drops into that square part of the tray properly.

OK here we go. I ordered this as a utility/yard cart for my construction business. We primary do decks and I needed a small utility cart for an assortment of things. This hasn't disappointed. I did purchase pneumatic air tires separately to fill the need of being used in dirt, yards, and other uneven surfaces. I haven't found a down side yet. If anything you could purchase the wider version for more stability but I have no complaints with this one. It certainly holds a ton of weight and I haven't found a way to break it yet. The towel holder is great for the guys to keep clean towels, sweat rags, etc. The little compartments hold phones, keys, watches, and other stuff that guys empty their pockets before starting work. I will say the only downfall is one cupholder. That is for MY coffee and the guys have to fend for themselves lol. I am extremely happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone. Half the price of Rubbermaid with better functionality.

After reading reviews, I thought this would be difficult to put together, so I was prepared. However, I thought the cart was reasonably easy to assemble, and it didn't take long at all.Pros:Narrow - when you don't have a lot of room to store it, this cart is perfect. I will be using it as a mobile classroom cart, and I needed something to take up minimal space in my room.Storage - the cart will hold a lot of items, and the description says it will hold up to 500#. I don't plan to put that much weight on it, but I did use it to move my classroom today and get the job done in just a few trips.Sturdy - this thing is sturdy. It doesn't feel like it will tip, and it is solid, meaning I don't foresee it coming apart anytime soon.Cons:One of the swivel wheels does not work on the one I received. Moving my stuff was difficult when the wheel would completely lock up and jolt me to a stop. No matter which way I tried to maneuver it, I could not get it to budge. When my husband flipped the cart over to inspect, he said that it swiveled all the way perfectly around, but it just didn't want to spin most of the time. I have emailed WEN, and I will update my review once I hear back. If I can replace that wheel, then this is a five-star cart! However, with just three functioning wheels and one that hinders all work, it's not much good to me other than for stationary storage.

This cart seems very sturdy and moves around easily on a wood deck. To put it together you must have a rubber mallet (a regular hammer and a block of wood might work if you're careful), a Phillips screwdriver (#2 I think), a wrench, fairly good hand and wrist strength, time.There are a few things that you must do - first and foremost, unpack the legs and search for the letter "R" and "L". The letters are about 1 inch tall but extremely difficult to see even when looking for it. I thank an earlier reviewer for pointing this out because you'd never guess it using the instructions and this point is imperative for success. Two are marked R, (see photo - about 1 inch high) two are marked L, and all four are marked Rc (opposite the R & L and about a half inch high). Ignore the Rc.Points I found challenging were:- "uninterrupted" top shelf means the shelf without holes drilled in the corners. It's also the shelf with the orange label on the long sides.- When placing the legs, the two marked R go kitty-corner to each other, same with the two marked L. In other words if one corner is an R the corners to the left and right are "L"s. Another way to explain this may be, if you labeled one corner #1, then moving in a clockwise direction labeled the other corners #2, #3, and #4, then #1 & #3 are "R" with #1 in the right side/corner of the handle. Each leg has 3 screws. If the screw drops into the hole the leg is positioned incorrectly. Switch it for the opposite leg. Note: you can hammer legs in the wrong positions-they fit perfectly. You'll only know it's wrong if two of the three screws "easily falls" into the holes.If you don't have a power driver I'd imagine screwing these 12 screws would take a bit of hand/wrist strength.The next small challenge was placing the bottom tray in position. Because all four corners of the tray has groves that the legs must slip into, getting the "fourth" corner in place without allowing the other three corners to slip down into place was a little challenging for me due to the weight and size of the shelf - I'd guess the weight to be 10 lbs - and all corners free-fall into place so keeping the three corners high enough and not in final position so I could get the tongue/ groove of the fourth corner/ leg in place took some upper body strength. Finally remember you have 2 swivel casters (front end) and 2 stationary (handle end). I forgot this small detail until I was installing the last caster! but totally lucked-out and had got them in the correct positions - yay!Overall this cart took me a very relaxed 2 hours to build. I'm a lady in my mid sixties and was enjoying the evening outside so I'm sure many could build it much faster.Be careful and don't drop any of the screws, bolts, nuts or washers - there are no extras.Finally I wish to say the accuracy of the fittings i.e. holes/grooves etc. Is amazing. Absolutely everything fit together and aligned 100% perfectly without even a hair's worth out. I compliment the company for achieving that. Additionally the instructions are written in perfect English - it's unfortunate images of the parts and more clarity around a few critical steps are not included. Also in my view they should list the tools required as many people may not have the required tools.I'm looking forward to using this cart - I could easily move it in every direction with one hand (it was empty) so I'm anticipating the best!

This is a great sturdy cart but the instruction leave a lot to the imagination. Usually Chinese instructions are full of spelling mistakes so you read them with an I gotta figure this out myself attitude. These instructions are written in good english but not complete. I had trouble with the screw holes not lining up with the holes in the top shelf. The instructions DO not indicate that the legs are different! I called their tech support and learned that there are two left and two right legs?? The "L" and "R" are molded into the inside of the leg and can be difficult to see. So I asked "this is a rectangular shelf, where does it indicate which is right and which is left?" He couldn't tell me. Anyway I tried each leg at each location until I got all of the screw holes lined up. So did this left and right thing make any sense?? NO. The legs fit perfectly diagonally. I guess if you look at the end or side of the cart one side the legs are left and right but the back side legs are opposite unless you flip it around. You would think whom ever wrote these instructions would proof read them or have an employee try to assemble it using the instructions and they would immediately see the problem. Anyway it's a very good cart for the money BUT once again MADE IN CHINA. No wonder everyone is unemployed in North America.

5 stars because you do get good value for your money. It's a really great cart. One cavet. It really smelled terrible coming out of the box. However, no deduction because the smell has mostly gone away after a couple of days.Give some thought to which side you want the pivot wheels on. It does make a difference for small radius turning VS. Stability when pushing straight.

Easy to assemble. Very sturdy and well proportioned. Convenient cup holder, and deep trays. Does have a petroleum smell - or intense rubber smell. Does eventually dissipate. Still great value for the money.

Hasta el momento muy bien, muy resistente, lo usamos en almacén para transportar cajas pesadas.Estaría mejor si las 4 llantas fueran giratorias y no sólo 2.
