It can only hold the lightest of loads. It leans and falls over all of the time. We have tried tightening all of the bolts, but it always tilt to one side or the other. We are full of regret.

Poorly engineered
I got this about four years ago and it has gotten the jobs done around the yard for me but if I had it to do over, I'd definitely be willing to pay a little more and find a better wheelbarrow. I have a rather bad lower back so I never fill it to capacity with anything heavier than bark mulch, and yet the metal is stressed at the front bolts that hold it to the frame. Most annoyingly, the nose guard wanted to pivot upwards every time I dumped it, effectively becoming a tire brake no matter how much I tightened it. I finally figured out a solution using two hose clamps, but the design is just inexcusable. So I'll keep using it but I wish I had purchased a better one to begin with.

Not heavy duty
I purchased this wheel barrow over a year ago and managed to bend one of the legs within the first month of use. I use it exclusively at home for projects and thought I was being reasonable by spending a little more and staying away from the entry level models. It may be a great fit if you don’t plan on loading anything heavy in it. I use mine to move dirt and rocks and typically only do that a couple of times per month. This thing is terrible at dealing with heavier loads and I’m looking for a replacement. The metal part in the front flaps down and rubs tire, the frame bent, and the plastic support underneath the bed cracked and shifted out of place.

Junk - Poor design. Plastic spacers
Purchased this wheelbarrow for one project and the first load of dirt the legs collapsed. Not even half full. I would not purchase again. It looks new still, might be good to move air.

Handle rotted in a year
Bought one from Home Depot 20 years ago. TrueTemper. Lasted 20 years. This one, the handles broke in a year. Quality has gone to kaput. Another reason I shop less and less at HD.

Great wheelbarrow for the price! It has handled 140 yards of topsoil and 40 yards of mulch so far for me to spread around my yard. I packed out the container until it overflowed and it’s solid! Highly recommend.

Waste of Money
Poor quality. Tire got flat during first use. Replaced it with a flat less tire from another store and handle broke with a load of top soil. Don't buy it definitely.

I would rate this as a medium duty tool, perfect for occasional use by a home owner in small to medium size projects.
I bought this to move 5 yards of drain rock and I quickly found out that about 100 lbs ( roughly 10 shovelfuls ) is pushing it's capacity.
The tire is not that great quality, but inexpensive upgrades are easily available.
It comes flat, so if you don't have a compressor at home, be ready to stop by a gas station...
The finish on the handles is rough, but some Plasti dip took care of that.

I was only planning to use this wheelbarrow for a single project, so I bought it specifically for the lower price. In that respect, it performed just fine moving 8 tons of gravel, one wheelbarrowful at a time.
The bucket is thin metal and would not likely stand up to heavy punishment, and the handles feel a little flimsy for heavy loads. The front plate that connects the handles had a tendency to rotate when dumping buckets, and would catch on the tire causing the wheel to lock up.
If you need this for some light gardening, moving soil or plants, or for a one time use heavy project, it is just fine. If you need something you want to load with heavy, pointy things like bricks or pavers, or want it to hold up to a job site, this is not the wheelbarrow for you.

Very Easy to assemble. Just make sure you read the instructions. They are easy to follow. It took me like 20 minutes to get it done. Usually, Home Depot will assembled it for you. In my case, since it would fix on my car trunk I had to take it in pieces.

Make SURE HD assembles it for you, it's FREE too! Hauls 120 lbs. of concrete (bags), but is definitely medium duty on a good day. I'm 63 years old so we'll leave out the "How many years, before I'm no longer loading the thing,". Tire already inflated too.

Standard wheelbarrow order it online, and even had the store assemble it for free, before I picked it up.
I filled it to the top with dirt and seamed a little flimsy, but got the job done.
I have had for about a month now, but for a 50 dollar wheelbarrow, you can't beat it.
