1. Are the pieces supposed to fit snugly together? 2. Is the basket supposed to be "level" or are the sides supposed to be sloping downwards?

they can't fit snugly together because of the manufacturing of the parts. With the parts fitting the way they do you will get a lean one way or the other. I am a 240 pound guy and sit on one side or the other when I am tailgating and it holds up fine.

I just purchased this item last week and the item came exactly as pictured. I think that the confusion has arisen because the basket comes flattened out and inside of a plastic container that has rope handles around it. The plastic container is for transporting the basket when the basket is collapsed (flattened). So the rope handles are NOT on the basket itself.

Its a basket. The sides of the basket go all the way up to the lid. They've also made improvements to the handles unlike some of the earlier critiques.

Plastic lock in place covers for the vertical tube work quite well. Not sure why but they do. Heavy items on one side of basket has no effect on shelf being level.

The basket slides along a track and must be pulled clear to lift. If the baskets aren't too heavy with items they are easy to lift. I hope this answer helps.

The baskets are folded. They look very nice and it certainly looks just like the picture when placed in the unit

The tubes fit together only in a specific way. It took trial and error to get the fit right. I laid the pieces on the ground sorted by size and was able to fit them that way and build each side then added the center tubes. One other piece of information. It I'd not sturdy and will not hold unbalanced weight without tipping over so plan accordingly.

it is rectangular and flat but not flushed with the cabinet, if that's what you're asking. It is raised. I bought 2 different kind/size basket and the other one have round hanging arms.

I have two of these and I use them everyday. I don't remember, but I think they come pretty much assembled. if I remember I needed to attach the basket, but I am not sure, I purchased these more then 5 years ago. I COULD NOT GET ALONG WITHOUT THEM.

I believe my baskets are smaller than 1.6 bushel, but that is a guess. I use rectangular shaped ones. The round baskets are awkward on this cart.

Yes - it is pretty upright when all the way up and it goes pretty far down when all the way reclined. Although, if you have too much stuff in the underneath basket area it will get in the way of full recline.

You can tilt it if you want to get it in, but as it is on a runner to slide in and out, I think it has to be flat to slide. If the opening is too narrow, it won't clear the frame to slide out. The basket is 11 inches and if your cabinet is 11 1/2 in wide, that leaves 1/4 inch on each side for clearance. Not much extra there.

The sides are mesh with sturdy fabric inserts. I do not know what the fabric is but it feels like a nylon blend to me. I think this basket is extremely sturdy... it has carried 3 loads of wash (I have a small washer)... a weeks worth of clothes for my grandchildren... it is flexible but sturdy... and folds flat so you can put it out of the way. I think whatever it is made of is fine with me!

I have the same problem. However, when I first purchased this product, it fit fine. Now, I have to giggle the basket until it feels that it is sitting properly. Making sure the basket is locked into the slotes and it drops down a bit, you usually have it in right. I believe this product is made very poorly.

The top shelf has a bullnose edge facing down. The middle shelf slides into a rim track. The bottom shelf is not completely flat. The perimeter sits just slightly above the interior surface.

Personally, I don't think the sides are high enough to be safe. Also, the basket can pop off if weight shifts around. So, in my opinion, no.

They slide OK - for it to be steady, best to have them supported with screws to whatever they rest on - otherwise the contents might make the basket tip over.
