I purchased this and the YakAttack, which costs three times as much. The Vevor isn't as adjustable, and it doesn't collapse down as much, which may be an issue if you are putting this in a kayak or raft (the bars are fixed length, and riveted on, not screwed). The YakAttack is super solid, as is the Vevor, if perhaps slightly less so. It seems like it would handle anything you throw at it. I wouldn't know by experience, because it was missing a part (an axle) so could not be fully assembled. Amazon can't replace parts, and Vevor suggested their warranty was only for products purchased through them and while they may have been willing to send the part it would be a couple weeks. It was easier to return to Amazon and re-purchase, which is somewhat ridiculous. The customer service, which was unwilling to do the easy fix for a fault entirely their own, suggested to me that the YakAttack was the cart to keep.
