I highly recommend this for anyone regularly needing to move fairly heavy items. I need to move one or two 40 - 50 pound bags, daily. This includes taking them up a small flight of stairs and then carrying them about 70 feet. Although I can do that, without any sort of cart, this Stair Climbing Cart makes that chore much easier. I chose the product because it is very light-weight and because I have no need to move much heavier items. So for, I've used this every day for a little over 2 months, and it seems to be sturdy and durable. Note that this is a light-weight cart, so it is not meant for much heavier loads--its specs indicate a maximum capacity of 180 pounds.
