Overall it’s very strong cart and it can be used for a lot of things except for the beach which was actually the only reason I got it. The wheels were too small and very hard to pull the cart in the sand. Everything else of the cart is pretty good, the handle is strong and easy to assemble

My initial impressions of this cart are that it will be a useful alternative to hand-carrying a number of things, it's easy to open and maneuver, feels sturdy, but I wish it were larger and stood up on its own.For context, I live in an apartment building and often have to street park a block or two away. I do a number of hobbies such as backpacking, skiing / snowboarding, and car camping that involve hauling a lot of gear to and from my car. I also have to transport recycling and trash from my apartment to the basement, bring groceries in, or bring the dog and her crate and accessories to her sitter's on a regular basis. I wanted a cart to reduce the number of back and forth trips for these use cases.The cart is large enough to fit a standard-size utility tub, camping stove, and a couple camping chairs - it's about what I could carry myself (I'm about 120 lbs so probably less if you're a larger, stronger person) so it doesn't save on the number of trips but it does make it easier than hand carrying.It's also large enough to move, I'd estimate 6-8 bags of groceries piled on top of one another. The sidewalls are too low to hold in the bags on their own so I'd recommend a net (or a bigger cart!).I just moved a couple of cardboard boxes, trash bag, and recycling down to the basement. That cut two trips down to one trip in this case.Ski gear: this isn't the right cart for that. it's too short from the handle to the back to really contain skis and it definitely won't fit boots, bags, and helmets for more than a single person, if that. This is smaller than the carts i've seen being toted around resort parking lots. Plus I think you'd want a cart with thicker wheels to get through the slush. If this is your use case, look for something longer with higher sidewalls and fatter wheels.I like that the cart folds up and has a case that goes over it to hold it together. it's relatively light when I compared it to other carts on Amazon, yet still sturdy. I like this for lifting it into my car. I wish, however, that it could stand up on it's own. Maybe there's a way, but on the first few attempts it wanted to fall over, which means you'll need a way to keep it propped up if you plan to store it upright, for example, in a hall closet.If you are looking for a cart that's light, easy to pivot, and fits easily into any elevator including those tiny 1-2 person ones, this could be a good option for you. If you want to haul a lot of gear and save on trips, not just alleviate the strain on your back, look for something a little bigger.
