I'm tall and hate hunching for this task, thought about laundry pedestals, but this is kinda nice and much cheaper. My washer dryer are in my basement, concrete floors, so no concern over messing up hardwood or anything.
I also have a wood stove down there and will use this for tending to the fire, have a hatchet and sharpener on the bottom shelf - can scoot from the wood pile to the stove and then be at a comfortable height to load and manage the stove.
I recently bought a Ryobi 40v Vac, it had atrocious wheels. They looked a lot like the ones on this cart. 3 inch hard plastic.
If you buy the cart, consider getting rubber wheels. 3, 4, 5 inch. You'll just need to measure the post on the wheels.
My cart is arriving tomorrow, so I can update with the specific post size (I'm betting it's a 5/16" post).
These are the wheels I bought for my vac, and I'll probably buy them for the cart, they are like butter:
EDITED TO REMOVE INCOMPATIBLE WHEELS
UPDATE: The cart came in. Wheel size: 2inch. Wheels stem threads are in METRIC. According to the amazon page in the questions section, the thread is M8. So you'll want to buy an M8 threaded stem if you hope to re-use their hardware on it. That's the width. The length of stem is 14mm. The entire length of the post is 18mm. I ended up buying this:

So you'll be paying more for the aftermarket wheels than you will for the cart, just a word of warning. Watch the length of stem. It is also going to be in MM since you are using an M8 thread. If you get too long of a threaded wheel, you'll need to add spacers/washers to fill the gap for the factory nut to work. I intentionally chose the above wheels because of it's short stem length (15mm). The factory nut is a capped nut, with an allen wrench hole.
SECOND UPDATE: The new wheels came in. Worked PERFECT. M8 thread on a 15mm stem. I popped the old wheels off. Put the new wheels on. Added a touch of lithium grease to the axles and bearings, and IT'S AMAZING. The new wheels are about twice the size but they aren't too high. The seat sits so low to the ground there is no chance of tipping over. I barely pushed it, and it glided across the garage floor. Wheels are made from a "thermoplastic rubber" so they have a very tiny bit of softness to them. VERY VERY happy with the upgrade.
