How easy is it to move this thing around? We're thinking of using it as a cart to move things around. Would that work?

Don't know on hard flat surface, but not easy on some carpet. The wheels are too small and the locking mechanism kept catching on the carpet.

I'm not sure how great this would be as a dedicated cart. A lot depends on how much weight you're hoping to carry and the surface it'll be on. When I've got one fully loaded with comic short boxes, I can move it around a bit, to swing it out of the way or shimmy it aside. But the wheels will get hung up easily on small lips or seams in the floor. Also, when it's fully loaded, it doesn't necessarily feel sturdy and rigid enough to haul things around. It feels like if you're not careful, it can tip relatively easily. Something with larger casters that swivel more easily and a sturdier frame might be a better bet.

Once assembled, I moved it by myself down a flight of stairs, so it's fairly easy to move when you have to. It's definitely easier with two people, though, and I don't move it now that I've gotten it leveled. Not sure that casters would work well, as the "feet" are pretty small.

It's very easy to move. No problem at all. A little background- I'm a 55+ woman - in good shape but not a body builder. I put it together myself and can lift it easily.

No I wouldn't recommend it for public transportation it's not the easiest cart to maneuver around. I use it from my car to the elevator in my building. And since I moved to a private home it sits in my garage. It's great for the beach and its light weight. Most of its parts are plastic so you have to be careful not to pull or push it to roughly.

Yes your able move it around as you need it. Very durable and it should up. It has for me so far..

It is possible, however I would say it would take at least a person or more at each corner to lift and move it. it's sturdy enough to drag if it is on the right surface, but I'd stick with a group to help move it.

Well, a hand cart is sturdier, but this little cart can hold its own.I have moved rocks, and also did a house move with lots of boxes, but mostly under 50 lbs.It is light and easy to handle , a hand cart is not.I love this cart

I suppose a person could attach a T-BAR or something similar to the hitch, permitting a person or two, to maneuver the cart manually. It might be a little difficult to utilize the dump feature of the cart, but other than that, it's feasible.

It is not on wheels, but it's easy enough to move - that is, unless you're wanting to be able to move it daily, in which case I would either look elsewhere or ask the company if wheels can be added to the cabinet.

"I am looking to use this to wheel items to and from a car . . . Why do y think the wheels will hold up?"I don't know about the wheels holding up, I pushed this cart with about 10 lbs of stuff on it and since it was a smooth floor, nothing fell down and it was easy to push. If the area between your car and where you're loading the stuff from has small rocks/gravel, then I don't think there'll be stable enough to support the cart and it will tip over.

I find this cart easy to handle on stairs depending upon how much weight you can handle. The cart alone is no problem. What I find most difficult is turning the front wheels to tuck them in when wanting to close the cart and put it in the car trunk.

I've used it little but so far a smooth surface would be optimal. The wheels themselves move around like a shopping cart, unless you know of a way to lock them in one direction.

It can be easily assembled by anyone with average intelligence and skills (using wrenches). As for moving it, there are small wheels but it is heavy and awkward. Best to place it and leave it. A good idea is to put it near a TV and watch while using it to make the time go faster.

I never considered doing this as we had no problems with the cart and often moved it around our kitchen. I personally loved this cart. It was so functional and useful.

Well, it's pretty fragile...and could be very trickly to pick up and move, so I think NOT. Cumbersome to pick up--I am not sure how that would play out.
