When correctly and carefully assembled this is an excellent laundry trolley, large, capacious and well made. The current Amazon price of £59.80 is not excessive for a quality addition to the home. However, care needs to be taken when assembling it.
A fridge-sized box arrived from Amazon and within was a far small smaller box containing the disassembled trolly, so small in fact that I wondered how they got all the pieces in. At this point, I usually itemise all the contents of the box but in this case, there are too many and too similar in nature. Everything seems well made and built to last. Included with the kit is a small but well-printed assembly guide, but more of that later.
The first thing to do is to put the kit together. This is actually not difficult but made so by the Guide which is too small and is just a small selection of exploded diagrams. I found it simplest to copy and print the diagrams out at an easier to read size. There are a couple of important points to bear in mind. Firstly, it is essential to have the iron board hinge holes facing outwards on the two upright end pieces. This is not immediately obvious and is not made clear in the User Guide so do not get it wrong as I did and have to then start afresh. The final thing is to fit the ironing board to the top and here again, things can go wrong. The metal hinge is secured to the MDF ironing board by three small screws either end and they will come out if the board is not lined up correctly when the hinge is fitted to the trolley. Doing this is really a two person job, one to hold the board in the correct orientation and the other to screw it in place. The trolley functions perfectly well without the board and some users may prefer to leave it off to give easier access to the laundry bags and to reduce weight.
Once all this is done you have a large 29.5×15.8×33.8" metal framed laundry trolley with optional casters and holding three separate suspended 7.9×12.8×21.8 inch Oxford cloth bags. On the bottom is a mesh suspended shelf for additional items. Tags and markers are included too to aid in sorting the laundry. On top is an ironing board which can fold up to give access to the laundry bags. Build quality seems excellent and provided care is taken with the iron board there is no reason the trolley should not give years of happy use.
