"The hardware kit was missing a couple of specialty nuts and when I called, they gave me extremely good service."
"I purchased this for a front load washer and dryer which I stacked to save space. Delivery men who dropped the washer & dryer off had to promise me to come back another day because it took so long to set up they couldn't wait for me to set up. I like that it has the kick stand kind of breaks that you can step on which raise the unit up onto the wheels and when you've gotten your washer (or tool as I seen many people buy this for heavy power tools) you can either kick the lever back up or bend down and raise the lever by hand to move the wheels outward and the weight of the unit fall onto the rubber stoppers on the side preventing it from rolling anymore. The washer shakes pretty hard (an energy efficient washer) and the unit is firm, it didn't bend under the pressure of the weight nor does it shake due to the washer's spin cycle."
"I got it for my lathe that's 18x44 and it works great I was concerned that a dirty floor with wood chips on it that it might not move freely but it works great."
"The directions are somewhat skimpy, and they could be better illustrated as well."
"Was easy to assemble and highly adjustable for different applications (mine was a table saw)."
"Nice Mobil base."
"I've used it once already when I set up a full size Delta dust collection system in the same spot my belt sander resided. It would have been a real PITA not having it under that 200lb belt sander."

"Couldn't make it small enough for the base, so I had to attach a couple of sheets of plywood to the base, and the saw base to the plywood. I don't know what type of steel they used on the inner wings, but I burnt up 5 carbide drill bits trying to drill eight holes for mounting the plywood to the base, and for mounting the saw's base through the plywood and the mobile base's inner wings."
"Sturdy and Relatively easy to assemble."
"I also needed to run a tap in the foot posts (chase the threads) so the adjustable knobs to raise the swivel casters would turn smoothly."
"As far as leveling, the two stop posts have a magnet holding the pad to the screw adjustment witch works fine unless you over unscrew the screw and the pad falls free and drags on the floor."
"I installed this base per the instructions within 2 hours and now I can easily move it about my garage."
"Then the lock nuts are tightened down to lock the bolts in place."
"I also had no problems with assembly and since I have other Woodstock mobile bases and didn't need the assembly instructions."

"I am very pleased with the quality, function and appearance of the Portamate Mobile Base I ordered from Amazon.com."
"Instead, I tipped it side to side and back and front, wedging a 6" length of 2x4 under each side, then slid the base in mounted the front rail."
"Adjusts perfect and is made of solid built pieces that assemble however you need it to."
"The mobile base did fit the 27.5" spread but would go no larger, so if your machine has a spread greater than this, beware."
"Wow, easy to setup, Price is ok for this heavy duty frame and huge easy rolling wheels and brake."
"The saw is a dream to move around the shop now."
"I found a way around this by taking a picture of the drawings with my smart phone and enlarging them on my display."

"Wow, this is a great stand!"
"I understand some other reviewers' complaints about the instructions, but they're in easy to understand English (not google translated from Chinese) and the diagram is very helpful."
"easy to assemble took about twenty minutes.. you due have to take apart the wheel lifting assembly as its put together wrong at factory.. just study the picture & some common sense you'll figure it out only requires removing a snap range.. Other than that its a quality equipment stand that's easy to put together.. Buying another one as soon as they go on sale.."
