Review on πŸš‚ Radio Flyer Town and Country Wagon by Joseph Elvis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The quality doesn't match the cost.

At over $140 for this so-called "used" product, I found the quality and workmanship to be lacking in every respect. The wood used is very cheap and brittle, the bottom support is nothing more than a piece of 3/8" thick plywood with a couple of support pads nailed in for more support. The wheels are also poor quality, cheap plastic wheels hold the rubber hardly. Axles are cheap too, this station wagon should be rated at 200 pounds. I can see the axles flexing under that weight! How about the weather resistance? Thing looks like it's going to fall apart in the first rain! Not at all what I expected for the money. I ended up gluing all the wood together with waterproof wood glue and then covering everything with a coat of Waterseal. I reinforced the bottom with a piece of 3/4" plywood. The 1/4 I've replaced "bolts" with 5/8" stainless steel bolts. All moving parts are lubricated. With any luck it should last a few years now.
