ECR4Kids 30-Bay Charging Cart, Classroom Storage, Black

We bought two of these carts for our computer center. They were easy to assemble and lock securely.

Much better than expected. Very sturdy once put together. We will be storing I pads in this unit. Thought it would be hard to assemble but if you watch the YouTube video on assemble makes it much easier.

The keypad died on two of three of the carts that we purchased with no way to fix, in less than two years of use. This is not a battery issue, nor is it a user error. The USB-9v adapter is not helpful when the keypad is fundamentally malfunctioning. Ours cart are used very sporadically, but not heavily and they are not moved around. There is no way to contact this seller via amazon, we will have to unscrew the entire lock to remove the door and place our laptops elsewhere. If the manufacturer is reading this, please reach out to us to rectify this issue.

Overall it's a very good buy. The cart is heavy and is probably around 100 pounds when built. It took me about an hour to put it together but I've built a lot of carts so you may want to allow more time.For our purposes we've put 13" laptops in it and have them in every other slot. If your putting tablets or newer 13" laptops there should be plenty of space.There is a keyed latch on the back where the power strips are and a combo lock on the front. I wouldn't call the lock on the front heavy duty but it works and you can set your own code.A few of the long edges were sharp and I'm not sure if it was the metal or a paint issue but we had to use a file to clean it up. That's why it lost a star. Quality control issue.We didn't have any damage in shipping although the box was partially broken. This thing is really heavy and that's probably why the packaging was messed up a bit.Overall happy with the cart and the way it rolls. Should last a long time and it's a lot more reasonable then most of the other carts we dealt with.

This cabinet was perfect for the 20 tablets we needed to secure and it works great. The cabinet keeps the tablets under lock and key or secure with a key pad that needs a code to access. It is very easy to roll the cart to several locations and the wheels have locking mechanisms on them. It includes the electric strip that can hold the cords to charge the tablets at the same time. It includes a safety feature that alarms when the batteries fail and gives you time to reset or use the key for access.

This came well packaged and complete. Very easy to assemble and the price was right. Layout of the power cordsfor all the Chromebooks was nicely laid out. I recommend this over others I have seen

I teach second grade and this cart was a behavior management necessity this year. It does the trick of locking up the iPads when I don’t want the kids to have them but I only gave it 3 stars for a number of reasons.1. As you can see from the pictures, our iPads have cases on them (as I’m sure most schools do) and the slots are barely big enough to accommodate them. I’m talking the given 1 inch space is so tight that I have to put the iPads away for the kids because they can’t maneuver them in. The teacher next door to me has a different type of case that doesn’t fit at all. I’m actually going to use my husband’s wire cutters to snip away every other bracket so maybe it will be more kid friendly.2. The cords are a mess. I haven’t figured out how to fix this because the outlets are waaaaaayyyyyy in the back of the cart. It’s a disaster and it drives me nuts.3. The doors swings shut and locks itself. I think because of the weight of the keypad? Whatever the reason, it is beyond annoying to turn your back for 1 second to help a student and have it shut on you, only to have to start all over.However, even with all those design flaws I would still recommend it. It has made my life so much easier. Kids used to go grab an iPad whenever they wanted to and my consequence of losing iPad privileges had no teeth when they were kept out in the open. This cart might be annoying but it is useful!

Easy to assemble. Works perfect. Definitely recommend.
