I bought this cart to hold a number of plants that are waiting to be planted. The cart comes assembled, you just needed to screw the casters on each leg.  Two of casters are locking casters so that is nice. It rolls nicely in every direction. You simply open up the cart to extend it to the full open position.  It seems quite sturdy and the color coating on the Apple Green is good. I expect it will last through some weather, although mine will be in a somewhat covered area.  Green Apple is a pretty bright green, but with the plants on it (or anything else), it's not a big deal and I like it. To fold it up, simply put one hand on a side rail and lift in the center. Very glad I bought this.
