I'm totally fine with that. I would call its shoveling capacity the equivalent of a small wheelbarrow. The frame is painted steel so I wouldn't leave it out in the rain for long. Standing on its hind legs, it takes up significantly less space on the garage floor than a wheelbarrow and can be easily hung on a hook thanks to the closed handle. The assembly instructions are excellent, the parts are laid out on the map. You can distribute the load around the wheels so the handle weighs next to nothing. I can't think of anything that could be better about this cart unless you need to use it on very rough ground (stumps and protruding rocks); The wheels are too small and the ground clearance too low.
