I bought this item because it seemed to have OK reviews. I recieved the item in a flimsy box. All items were in the box, so no problem. It was easy to assemble, great. I used it on flat land for about 15 minutes and the spindle broke resulting in the spreader not spreading. This item is made with plastic wheels and assembly that is not reliable. This item will break in a short period of time. I will now go purchase a better quality spreader. It may cost more but I am sure that it won't be made from poor quality hardware like this one. Save yourself the trouble and do not waste your time/money on this product.
