Customer Reviews for Muscle Rack 6.5 cu ft. 53 in. W Wheelbarrow, 300 lb. Capacity

I bought the cart for a mobile organizer for painting supplies previously scattered in the garage. I like that it's light weight, but sturdy and can hold a surprising amount of stuff; see photo. Took me a couple of hrs to assemble, but was worth it. Assembly tip: if the side panel holes do not line up, try flipping the panel 180 deg. The holes along the panel edges are not symmetrical.

Difficult to put together (we are very experienced furniture builders). There are two sets of nuts/bolts that are very close in size but makes a difference when putting together, so watch carefully. Still some holes do not line up, had to drill a new hole or two. Overall, frustrating, but functions for the purpose.

None of the predrilled holes lined up. We had to go and purchase nuts and bolts as none were supplied. I had to hire someone to put it together which cost me another $60. The finished product is not nearly as good as my old Vermont cart. But, even with the extra $60, it was $100 less that the Vermont. My Vermont lasted 45 yrs. I hope to get at least 5-10 yrs with this doing lite gardening.

Required difficult assembly.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Overall assembly was not easy due to main frame pieces being slightly twisted which caused everything else to be out of alignment

The holes in some of the parts did not line up and required drilling in order to complete assembly. The assembly instructions were printed in very small type and difficult to read. The list of parts was ok, but not all that detailed.

Should've given more credence to all of the poor reviews. Parts were not made to fit together. If I didn't have a garage full of tools and extra parts, I doubt I would've been able to put it together at all. I would like to give 2 stars as it does work, but it wouldn't if I hadn't added what I did.

Just what I needed, thanks

The cart is great but a little smaller than a previous cart we owned. I had the store assemble it for me and they did a good job.

Good value Hardware goodWood panels very good Assembly took an hour

Unit works well. Last one I had lasted 16 years.

One look inside the box was enough to make me return this immediately. The metal will rust in a heartbeat; the materials are low quality; the pneumatic (inflatable) tires are a recipe for trouble. What was I thinking? It was worth it to pay more for a different cart.

Good quality materials. Poor quality engineering - would not go together. DO NOT recommend until QA and fit is corrected.

I have had a similar cart previously and find it a very handy design, but this particular product is awful. First of all, add an electric drill to your list of needed supplies because some of the holes are not drilled in line with the metal parts. Secondly, the nuts and bolts are so soft that as you are screwing them in they strip. If you decide to get this, take the bolts to a hardware store and find the same sizes in a better quality. Third, the instructions are horrible, and practically illegible. I suggest looking for this excellent design of cart elsewhere.

I ordered this cart thinking it had a bed dimension of 53. I already had an older weathered cart I was looking to replace. They kept shipping a small cart with the packaging stating it was a mid-size cart. The bed size was 41????? I ordered 2 of them before I gave up. Couldn't figure out the sizing!!!

The product appeared to be in used condition when package was opened. There were scratches and abrasions on the finished wood surfaces. Two sections had been re drilled resulting in an awkward assembly and the cart ultimately did not fit together very well. The packaging lead me to believe that the cart had been sold, returned and resold to me. There were no assembly instructions and no hardware included in the packaging. When I emailed the company asking them to email assembly instructions I got no response. Very dissatisfied with the product and the lack of customer support.

Cart is very sturdy and easy to use. The assembly photo is wrong but was rather uncomplicated to finish. Materials are of quality and parts are well made. The shipping box was beat and very abused. All parts made the trip inspite of this. Over all very nice cart for my intended use.

The carts are from China, very poorly packaged, many arrived ripped open with parts missing. We attempted to put together. Some holes did not align and we found parts missing, so we returned. Oh, many of the laminated flat surfaces were scratched.

First of all the cart arrived well packaged and in the delivery times stated. I am an older female and thought this would be great to use around my yard my sister has one and loves it. I have put many items together before without too much trouble. I am not impressed with the self-locking nuts. I went to our hardware store to get a metric wrench, they measured the nut and we tried to find a wrench that would fit it. Neither metric nor regular wrench fit. We ended up replacing the nuts and using a crescent wrench. The instructions were very scanty and the pictures were not helpful at all. Illustrations might be better. The holes on one board didn't match very well no matter how we turned the board. We finally got it together and hopefully it will do the trick, but it was not easy. If your hands are no longer as strong as they use to be, I would recommend changing the nuts and using some thread lock if they tend to come loose.

The assembling instructions were a little confusing, but I was able to read between the lines and complete. The "wood" panels comes prefinished unlike the previous garden cart we purchased years ago. The assembled unit is also a little heavier than the previous cart, however I believe this is good as it provides additional stiffening and strength to the assembly.

The cart parts arrived in one, undamaged box for assembly. Two pieces of the metal tubing had been crimped enough at an end that they would not mate with other pieces. Fortunately, I had a metal wedge so that I could hammer the damaged parts back into shape, but, without that, I would have had to return the parts to Home Depot. After assembly, the cart is rugged, and it rolls smoothly on the pneumatic tires.

My mom has an old garden way cart and I was thrilled to find something similar. The directions that shipped with it were minimal and blurry. Those available via this listing are slightly better. I found some of the metal was a bit warped making things not line up properly. I had to take it apart and re-assemble several times. Once together, though, it seems to function ok - with the exception of the split pins holding on the wheels - those fell out in the grass. I had to go to the hardware store to buy more appropriate replacements.
