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:

I purchased 2 of these. The first one broke and had to be replaced the first day. Now the second one just broke. The design is flawed. You can only wheel on a flat surface. Do not navigate stairs . It seems that any pressure on the front unwheeled side tears it from the sides.

    Comments about Staples® Expanding Folding Crate on Wheels:

    Total disappointment. I bought a similar one from Office Depot and dug it so much I picked this one up the very next day. The latch broke off before I even got it out of my car. The "brackets" that provide support on the sides pop off frequently. This is my extra one, so it literally stays open in my trunk to keep items from shifting, yet I continue to fine peices of it in my trunk. The one I bought from O.D. also crumbled, and has gone through several overhauls in a vain attempt to make it sturdier.
    Oh yeah, and the first time I lifted either one out of my trunk loaded with only a computer and projector the handle snapped. Still trying to find a super sturdy one. Would give 0 stars if it were an option.

    Comments about Staples® Expanding Folding Crate on Wheels:

    My wife is a middle school teacher. She used this tote to carry papers and books between classes during the day. The unit only lasted three weeks before breaking entirely. It was not folded and unfolded at all but rather left assembled all the time. Waste of money. The handle and wheels are in good order but the plastic simply breaks under any stress.

    Comments about Staples® Expanding Folding Crate on Wheels:

    I really liked that it folded up easily and could be set up easy. The pop up handle is great too. I never put anything in the crate to exceed the weight limit and my only complaint is the wheel broke. If the wheels were to hold 70 pounds I don't know what happened to mine.

      Purchased 2 of them for the 2 salesmen we have. They attend several trade shows each year. These crates on wheels are fantastic for getting all their stuff into the meeting area. They are quite durable and very easy to manuever and fold easily when not in use.

        What are the two removable plastic sticks in the bottom of the crate for?
        Asked on 1/24/2011 by Anonymous

        • A:

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

        • CUSTOMER CARE

          A:

          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.

        • VERIFIED BUYER

          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?)
