I bought this hardware bag to save space in my car - its a bit shorter than some, so I can place it ?north-south? in the boot of my car and fit drums around and on top. The shorter length means I have to split my hihat stand. All my other stands fit in one piece. I store 3 cymbal stands, hihat stand, snare stand, bass pedal, throne, legs, tom mount and drumstick bag in this case, plus moongels, felts, etc in the side pocket - so all my hardware rolls in one trip with one hand.
The large wheels mean it will roll over grass and gravel as well as smooth floors.
The black vinyl top surface looks nice, but I?m worried about scratching it, so I only stack soft cases on it in the car.
It is semi-rigid, so the top and sides flex a little when loaded. This helps when squashing things in the car. The base from the handle through to the wheels is solid though. Its quite leightweight on its own too.
Overall, it has made my packing up,at the end of a gig faster and easier, and I can fit my whole 5 piece kit with hardware & cymbals in the boot of my car out of sight.
