Packaged really well for being shipped in boxes.. Solid metal and not thin. Hardware? I got rid of all of it and bought some quality 10.9 grade metric bolts.. Not a fan of being metric.. Coating is solid and even with some parts touching, no coating came off.. The threaded caster holes on the bases was not the best quality. Weld spatter on two holes where I had to file off so I could insert a bolt. I ended up rethreading all the bolt holes as several bolts were hard to turn in.. That was before getting the new hardware.. Once rethreaded, no problems at all.. Casters were solid, really like the size and thickness.. Once I changed the hardware and retreaded the caster holes, I believe this will be a solid car body cart..
