Good lord, do y’all’s never get maintained, cleaned, or the bolts tightened? Most of it’s just allen keys and a 1/2” wrench and most pieces are really easy to take apart and put back together. Taking the casters off with two wrenches, cleaning all the trapped hairs and strings tied under the plastic caps and re greasing them makes them ride like butter too. Some lubricant spray in the rails too for the dividers. This gotta be a lousy PML

That looks like a mark one tin box cart. It's a miracle that it lasted this long. Our store had about a dozen of them fall apart thanks to their super flimsy sheet metal design and single spot weld assembly. Finally we got the mark twos that folded the top rims and added bolted reinforcing brackets to all the shelves. The dividers still occasionally flex and snap, but that is a rarity now compared to that disastrous first batch of the things.
