This wheel Barrow is light, easy to maneuver, stable.

It is easy to assemble.

It is shallower than I anticipated.

It was a bit hard to put together, and the instructions did not help much. That said, once set up, it is very nice. It moves about very easily, and is easy to load and dump. If I had a criticism of the product itself, it is that the bowl may not be duarable enough for some heavier uses, like moving patio stones or deco stone.

This wheelbarrow is well built and easy to assemble. It is a fair amount shallower than a typical wheelbarrow, but it is the right size for my kids to use easily. My six year old loves to push it around and was able to use it with a load of rocks without tipping it over. For adult exclusive use, an 8 or 10 cubic foot model might be a better choice.

It is not too heavy so I can push it around. The two wheels make it stable. It is easy to keep clean. I hope the plastic tub doesn’t break when I do something heavy duty but so far it’s ok.

This is not a wheelbarrow under any definition. It is a flimsy China made overgrown childs toy. One would have to be vertically challanged to keep from dumping the contents while trying to wheel it, it is that small and low. If you are looking for a wheelbarrow, don’t look at this thing.

Mine is going straight to the Salvation Army donation center.
