1. Are the pieces supposed to fit snugly together?2. Is the basket supposed to be "level" or are the sides supposed to be sloping downwards?

All pieces should fit tightly together, especially the two basket halves. Second- if the slope your talking about is these two halves, it should definitely not be that way. Mine fit together and made a level surface, Ensure these bolts are real tight too because they are the stress points of the entire basket. As a side note I had to get a welder to put some beads of weld on the part that fits into the receiver on the vehicle because it was loose and the entire basket would tip from side to side when I made turns in the vehicle. I ground the beads a little until it fit tight in my receiver, then I painted the beads...hope this helps. All pieces should fit tightly together, especially the two basket halves.

they can't fit snugly together because of the manufacturing of the parts. With the parts fitting the way they do you will get a lean one way or the other. I am a 240 pound guy and sit on one side or the other when I am tailgating and it holds up fine.

The two sides fit together well on ours when assembled. But the hitch assembly can't fit snugly as it has to fold up. Unsure as to which pieces you are referring to. Also, our basket sits level across but does have some "give" when weight is applied to either side.

Mine is level, and fit very snug. Im wondering if the brackets that join the two sides are bent?

The other person said that their back is open, however, ours has a piece of wood across both levels to keep the baskets from falling out, so they may be different.

I believe my baskets are smaller than 1.6 bushel, but that is a guess. I use rectangular shaped ones. The round baskets are awkward on this cart.

I made mine into two units (one with 3 shelves and one with two.) The two-shelf one doesn't have a bottom, so it isn't as sturdy, but I just use it to hold empty suitcases so it is fine.

The sides are mesh with sturdy fabric inserts. I do not know what the fabric is but it feels like a nylon blend to me. I think this basket is extremely sturdy... it has carried 3 loads of wash (I have a small washer)... a weeks worth of clothes for my grandchildren... it is flexible but sturdy... and folds flat so you can put it out of the way. I think whatever it is made of is fine with me!

Sorry I just got this question but the baskets are decent size one side has one large 12"x9" basket and the other side has two 6"x9" baskets. This is roughly....

Shoved up against a wall edge the top rim of course stops the side from touching but there is a very slight tilt to the sides. With that being said it is about 3/8" from wall to the outside of the basket at the top and about 5/8" from wall to the outside of the basket at the bottom. Of course if they were straight then you would not be able to nest them together. :0)Almost a year in and I am still glad I made the purchase.

The basket can move around. But once you put the top of the basket on, it fits snuggly. The glass top will fall off, so be careful not to lose it.

Personally, I don't think the sides are high enough to be safe. Also, the basket can pop off if weight shifts around. So, in my opinion, no.

It is standard height. It gets adjusted for each individual. The basket fits any height.

Nope.Its not flat and its kind of hallow. The product was so badly designed, The moment the ball hits the board (which holds the basket) the links which you use to adjust the height will break loose and you end up assemble everything again. I have applied a tape to hold the links and the hook that holds the entire unit. Another bad design, if your kid applies little force on the basket, the lock which hold the basket in its position will break loose and it gets locked in the downward position and you have apply force to bring it back (which is not easy) to its position and there is no easy way or lock release to bring it back to correct position.

As I can see the height can be lowered ONLY if you don't attach wheels. Basket placement is flexible.

Hi,You have it wrong.The basket is 11" wide x 20"deep at it's largest as it fans out towards the top.So the base is smaller.This should give you 1/4" on each side as you slide it??This must be attached to the base of your cabinet or it tips down when pulled out!!Easy to do with tools but perhaps you could use a caulk as "glue"????Not sure it would be strong enough.Ace Hardware siliconized acrylic caulk dries hard BUT give it a week!And don't get any where it slides.I hope this helps- feel free to ask more questions.......Jeff

I didn't have screws in the bottom on the baskets. The shelf for the top baskets don't have anything to hold up the back part of the shelf so if you put heavy stuff in them they sag towards the back. Not sure if its suppose to be that way or if i missed something. But besides that the shelf itself is pretty sturdy and good quality.

Since this is a hand woven basket, it will have a natural "imperfect" appearance. With that said, my basket is not lopsided at all. As far as the strength goes, I would feel fine carrying a half gallon of milk in it, but not a full gallon. It does have a wood bottom. - Sandy

The basket insert is flat on the bottom. If it is bent, perhaps you should contact the manufacturer.

Its a basket. The sides of the basket go all the way up to the lid. They've also made improvements to the handles unlike some of the earlier critiques.
