I have been using these carts for storage for the past four years, and they drive me just as crazy now as they did at the very beginning. The drawers slide easily, until they are filled. The plastic frame is too flexible and begins to collapse, exerting pressure on the drawers and making them very difficult to move in or out. The weight limit that allows the cart to remain fully functional is unrealistically small. Even loosely filling the drawers with clothes or other lightweight objects prevents the drawers from opening and closing properly.
In addition to being too weak in compression, the frame is also too weak in tension. The plastic frame is made of three separate components which stack and snap together. These snaps are very weak, and often the frame will fall apart if lifted, even if all of the drawers have been removed.
The design does not adequately consider that users will be filling the drawers, or will ever need to pick up the cart.
