We have nice wood stairs going from the finished basement up to the kitchen, and my husband wonders if a loaded cart will cause indents in them - Y/N?

it Should Not as the Back Wheels are Big Enough to Hopefully Keep the Frame from Dragging Against the Wood & the Wheels are Rubber So Un-Less You Intentionally Drag the Metal-Frame Against the Wood Your Stairs Should Be Fine

I don't think it would. The back wheels are pretty good size, the metal parts may not even touch your stairs. But if it does line the bars with duct tape to keep it from scratching.

Yep! We are mostly carpet and the cart does just fine...perhaps it's the weight of the cart. This is a great cart, sturdy as can be on all types of flooring :)

Hi, June! My project was delayed, so tiles are still in bags. I just checked, and yes, the letters and the little numbers are both very slightly indented into the wood.

No. The ironing board is on hinges on the back side and just lifts up leans back. It isn't difficult either if the board is down. Just a small space to lift the clothing thru. I keep my iron in a holder on the wall above the cart until I need it to iron something. So the board is never cluttered up.

The only time I would think it would be when releasing the handle to dump it. I can pull it with one hand with a full cart, but that is on level ground. A full cart of dirt can get heavy but only when dumping it.

I dont have any problems w/ the drawers or with movability. I have loved this cart.

As long as your cart fits between the rails, there should be no problem. It's not meant for human traffic.

Without knowing what your deck is made of, it's hard to say. If it's wood plank with small gaps, I would say yes. If it's cement or brick, I would say that those little pebbles will get embedded into the wheels.This is a great cart, and considering the price, it would be hard not to fill your needs - both inside and outside. Good Luck.Denille

Yes, but I would recommend that you get some kind of protection for the floor if it is wood or carpet. I purchased two of these carts and am using one with the wheels and one without the wheels. I am very pleased with both carts. I bought end caps from Lowe's for the legs of the one that I am using without the wheels. The wheels will lock, but I needed one about 4 inches shorter, so removing the wheels made it ideal.

I've had my cart for a long time and have moved objects heavier than 200 lbs., but potted plants my be a problem. Whenever I moved a heavy object, I've made sure that when I tipped it back and moved it forward I pulled back on the object itself and not the handle of the cart. Pulling back on the handle puts all the stress on the bottom angle. That's relatively easy to do with a piece of furniture. With a potted plant, you would need someone else to help tilt it. It's all a matter of technique, but certainly wouldn't want to do that kind of moving on a regular basis. All in all, this is the best portable cart I've ever owned. (I've owned about 4 or 5.)

There's always some moisture in wood, upstairs or not. Even if it's completely dry, there's always the chance of water leakage getting under the floor and causing some warping. I'd play it safe and use an underlayment, even if it's only 15-pound asphalt paper, which is inexpensive.

I first have to say this cart is strong and very well made, and I bought the cutting board to protect my wood surface. Wood is about one inch thick, no fiberboard, solid wood.I keep my cart open all the time.

I haven't had that problem, but you could contact the mfg and see if they could replace the drawer. Good luck. I really like my cart.

Hi Allison! I would say that if you wanted to keep the cart stationary, you could do without attaching the wheels. It would make it a couple of inches shorter.... I like the wheels as then I can roll it around my kitchen to suit my needs. The wheels do lock on one side, so this keeps it in place if necessary.

If you slide/move them frequently it could cause damage. I would say that they wouldn't leave any lasting / noticeable damage on thicker / taller stranded carpeting. The spike is embedded between fibers - once moved its almost impossible to see where the spikes were. I recently moved and found that the only way I could tell where the stands were was a result of the matted down imprints from the rest of the stand - similar to any time furniture stays in one spot for a long duration. In short, its no worse than any other object as far as I'm concerned!

we have old school parkay wood floors and very heavy pot/plants and they ahve not left a mark on them, but I think it might depend on the type of wood you have. There are small rubber 'feet' at the ends of each leg, that I think helps as well.

We just got a normal cart from Home Depot (got it on sale for $25.00) and used stretchable tie downs to hold it up against the cart. the Cart is light weight and can hold and move an enormous amount of weight. "Milwaukee Hand Trucks with 7" tires" - Folds away nicely.
