I'm a photographer and wanted something to transport some of my gear easily and was hoping this would be my solution. I don't do a tremendous amount of shooting so I didn't want to invest in something rugged and this price point was nice. I went to load it into my Jeep and the bottom part ripped apart. I didn't just throw it in, because I love my Jeep too. It seemed to have happened too easily.

If you're looking for something for even lighter use, this really is a clever item.

I'd recommend for occasional lighter use.

Comments about Staples® Expanding Folding Crate on Wheels:

This is my 4th or 5th of this type of cart. I need to transport charts from one floor to another. I can't do with out it. Unfortunately these are not very sturdy and can not take rough treatment such as dropping heavy charts into it. The last one probably lasted less than a year. However, the price is still good and the appearance is too.
Several of my co-workers asked where I got it and now they have carts also.
I'm going to see if I can find a piece of Masonite or thin board to put in the bottom for support.

    Comments about Staples® Expanding Folding Crate on Wheels:

    I have bought several of these carts for business
    and personal use, as well as given several of these as gifts to
    family and friends. They are lightweight, affordable and very
    functional. It saves space by folding completely flat when not in
    use--fits perfectly in my light SUV trunk. I live in a high-rise
    condo and my parking sport is about 50 yards from the elevator.
    This cart is a LIFESAVER (well, at least a back saver!) when I'm
    bringing groceries home. I also use one to transport my business
    equipment to and from the car and my business sites. The only
    reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because I end up buying a new one
    every year for the same reason--at some point the bottom panel
    ALWAYS cracks/breaks eventually forcing me to replace it. I've
    actually 'recycled' one cart by placing a plastic milk crate in the
    bottom frame--makes a great laundry basket. I still highly
    recommend this cart!

    Wheeled File crate/drawer is helpful

    • Flimsy Construction

    • Uncomfortable

    Best Uses

    • Informal Use

    Comments about Staples® Expanding Folding Crate on Wheels:

    A little bit flimsy for use on outside driveways- rock or rough surfaces. It needs a top to protect items inside from dust/rain. The side stabilizers /bars to keep from folding up seem to come off too easily. Again I mention the too short handle, it causes one to lean over too far, resulting in back twisting. Not to be used for long distance transportation, maybe slightly larger wheels would help. A choice of colors would be nice.

          Comments about Staples® Expanding Folding Crate on Wheels:

          I use this product everyday as a school teacher. It's great for lugging your stuff from here to there with ease. However, in the 4 I have owned, the handles fail in about a year rendering them pretty much useless. They should spend a little more money to make the handles more robust. If there was a better product out there I would go with that next time.

              The "sticks" are to be removed and placed at the top sides to reinforce the cart.

              Those sticks should be the rods for the handle when you want to pull it along.

              Answered on 1/31/2011 by Steve S. from Staples
            • A:

              Put them along the top of the right and left sides when the crate is opened. They snap right on. I don't usually use them, but I assume they help reinforce the crate.

              To strengthen/support the sides when carrying heavy loads and hold the construction firm.

              A:

              The "2 removable plastic sticks in the bottom of the crate" are used to stabilze the sides of the crate by placing one on each side of the crate after it is assembled to keep the crate from collapsing on the sides. Assure that the "2 removable plastic sticks" are in the bottom of the crate upon purchase. Those who do not know what the "2 plastic sticks" are for would not know if they were missing.

          • Q:

            Please clarify: Does the current Expanding folding crate include a cover? (I have seen references in the past to a deluxe folder crate which I know does have a cover. Is this the same item? If not, do you currently sell the expanding folder crate that includes a cover?)
