$290, so how can I go wrong? It even folds up and stores upright on caster wheels.

The reviews say to expect Chinese in a bad way but with some tinkering it is alright. I plan to pull the motorcycle up to the cabin all summer with the Matrix.
Yes that is the same trailer I have. With constant rain and nastyness I would expect it to last about 6 or 7 years before rusting out. They don't fold up and store as easy as you think they would. I never tried to fold mine up. You have to pull 2 bolts up front and 4 bolts by the axle.
I only figured it out when I tore my trailer apart for the rebuild.
