I had this cart for only 9 months before it broke. For the time that I owned and used it it served it's purpose. I liked it because it was small and light and it was able to hold a decent amount of weight. My only gripe was that it was always hard to open.  It had no problem collapsing but it always took some force to open up and that ultimately led to its demise. One day when I was attempting to open the cart it finally snapped at the sides (plastic locks). My coworkers have MagnaCarts and those look sturdier and better built so I will be getting one.
