    Absolutely! I had a regular cart and then got a 6 wheeled cart with a new harp I purchased. It took a little getting used to, and there is a major flaw with turn radius BUT the maneuverability and stability that you get from it is well worth it! I do a lot of events in older houses (Victorian era) and the narrow lipped staircases are so much easier with the 6 wheeled cart. In fact, after about 10 years of use, my old one broke about a month back and I had to rush order one across the country to get it here on time for another event I was doing over the weekend. I like the new one because the wheels are a little smaller and so the turning is easier on it. They also used a lighter wood for the frame so the weight is down a little bit. The thing I don’t like is that it seems to want to fall over when there isn’t a harp on it. This may be a problem with my cart or it might be across the board. My older cart never did this.

    Positives: Stability, moving up and down stairs, nice platform that is not too big/small

    Negatives: unable to navigate very sharp turns (although the new design has improved on this!), a little on the heavier side for carts, might be top heavy when unoccupied.

    PS I have the Salvi 6-wheeled cart. There was a 6-wheeled harp cart that had smaller wheels and a metal frame that I used once and LOVED but never found the company/brand name to get it.
