I bought this to ease the movement of my 14" WSM smoker. Not that it is very heavy, but this thing makes it easy to wheel it back into a corner of the deck after using. I put a 16" brick paver on it, which fits perfectly when the trolley/stand is reduced to its smallest size. Then, I have the WSM sitting on the brick. Works great! The stand seems to be made quite well, very sturdy & easy to assemble. The wheels allow it to be rolled easily on a wooden deck. I do cover the whole thing up with a nice cover, so I'm hoping that the stand will tolerate weather well. It should, as it says it's stainless steel....at least for several years. :)
