I'm a college art instructor. I bought this crate for use to cart art supplies back and forth to class. I was a bit disappointed at first because the cart "appears" larger than it actually is. BUT it works well. It holds lots of equipment in an organized way. I use it all the time and now am in the market for another one. The top/cover is especially beneficial in keeping things safe and dry from rainy weather. I "wish" Fiskars would make a larger insert for the larger carts, but until then I recommend this cart to my students.
