How hard/durable/solid is the base? Could I stack one over the other on a cart without the bottom one collapsing under the weight of the top one?

I agree with others, if your pet is only 3 or 4 lbs maybe. In the long run, not advisable. My dog is 5 to 6 lbs, plenty of room to move around and sleep on trips

Nope, I wouldn't think that advisable. They are great for travel, the the interior structure forms an X on the top and there is not a hard shell bottom. The answer is "no".

Yes, you should be able to stack one over the other (EMPTY with no pets inside). There are 2 metal poles in the bottom of the soft crate and 2 metal poles in the top so it is durable and the base is pretty solid. The crate is well made and I have been pleased with it. It is perfect for travel for my pet and he weighs 30 lbs.P.S. If you want to stack the crates with pets INSIDE, I wouldn't advise that. I was a little confused by your question.

It is a tubular frame and I think you could stack one over the other on a cart.

there are 4 vertical tubes holding up the sides and 2 connecting tubes across the top lengthwise with 2 shorter tubes. (Imagine a cube) You could stack them as long as your pet is not too heavy but you may want to put a board across the top to help distribute the weight if your pets are large

The bottom of the crate is not hard ... I think the answer would depend on how heavy your pet is. I think that the canvas and build of the crate is pretty solid. The great thing about this product is that there are plenty of ventilation for your pet which keeps the crate cool while the pet is inside.

This is a very sturdy and well built cart. Our mixer is very large but we would need to take out the top shelf to store the mixer in there. In terms of handling the weight of it no problem. We are storing cereal and a rice cooker/crock pot on the bottom shelf. The top shelf holds numerous corning ware casseroles which are heavy with no problem. This is a VERY sturdy product.

This cart does not have brakes on the wheels, so I don't think you could safely lean on it. It's a handy little cart, I bet you could find many uses for it. I use it to bring groceries, etc. into the house. Not sure how it'd hold up in dirt, I have only used it indoors.

I would suggest you confirm it can handle the weight of your stack. If it can, the feet of the bottom unit should be able to be secured in the holes in the corner bracket. Keep in mind, however, that this only has two wheels that swivel so it is going to turn on a dime. It will need some maneuvering room. Otherwise, it should work just fine in my opinion.

Hi, I'm not sure. Since the wheels will not stay locked into the legs, I wouldn't advise putting anything on top of this cart, in fact I wouldn't recommend the investment. It looks nice but it is horribly constructed/designed.

I don't know how that can be quantified exactly, but I would agree with everyone else that it is a very solid cart. I've had my KitchenAid stand mixer on it, and a microwave or other sort of countertop oven would easily be fine on it. I store small kitchen appliances on the shelves, such as my toaster, blender, rice maker, glass pitchers, colanders, etc. I wouldn't be particularly concerned about putting any typical kitchen item on this cart.

It can be detached from the rolling cart base, but that is not the designed use. I'm not sure how secure the top will stand on its own.

Can you stack 2 whole carts? No, I would NOT suggest doing that. I would definitely buy another cart for even more storage, though. The cart is very nice. I bought it for my daughter, and she loves it. The boxes are quite nice and fit nicely into the cart, which makes it very convenient for storing the boxes, and it's nice to be able to roll it where you want to work.

I keep books & magazines stacked in them for my store. I often have about 40 pounds in the bottom & 20 or more in the upper cubes. They are extremely sturdy. I am always getting books out or putting new ones in so they take abuse. My only comment about this is that you really need to use a rubber mallet to make sure each & every one of the plastic corners is all the way in & tight.

Yes--it's very heavy as well. Make sure you have at least two people when you try to place it on the finished cart. The island is great, everything we wanted, but placing the granite on top got a little scary when it turned out a wheel wasn't in securely and popped out. Once you're past that bit, you're good.

The cart weighs about 5 lbs. It is extremely well balanced and we have no problem with it tipping over easily. Hope this helps.

Hard to say, it depends what you want to put on it. The wheels are kind of flimsy, but the real issue is that the sleeves that prop up, pop out and collapse too easily. Whenever I move the cart they fall down. If you wanted to put something heavier on the center section it could probably hold it. What are you looking to use it for?

I use the cart to hold my fifth wheel trailer hitch when out of my truck. The hitch weighs more than 90 pounds. I am not concerned about the weight--it is very sturdy. That being said I take care of what I run over moving the cart fully loaded due to the small wheels and cracks or perturbations in the surface over which I am rolling over. A crack caused some forward flex that made me cautious. I really like the cart and trust it.

Hi: The cart and wheels can support quite a lot. I have several of them and use to organize basement - so crystal/wheels are loaded down yet still easy to move.

it's a very sturdy cart. solid wood, well built. I can't imagine it falling apart very easily.

I currently stack two of the 50 pound containers one of top of the other. They are very sturdy and I have no problems. The way the containers stack the doors open easily on the bottom due to space left for this purpose alone. Very stackable. Love mine and glad I ordered a second one.

Yes, you must make sure that you have remove the wheels from one of the cart. Must sure you have the space for the stacking. No heavy items should not be placed into the containers. I found that if the items are heavy, place them at the lower part of the cart. That's helpful for me. Light weight items works will, very well with the carts. Let your imagination go wild and enjoy your own style being creative.
