Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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. 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.
