@ctcarol - good point! I actually did check that out. It's open on the bottom with just an "X" shape of metal. I also drilled a bunch of holes in the pot. Unfortunately, the saucer on the bottom of the pot is attached and the drain system it had in it - an X shape of dug out area to supposedly get water to drain into the saucer with holes for that purpose - just would have kept water in the pot. Dumb design. So, I drilled a bunch of holes.
Here's the dolly on Global Industrial's website, so you can see that it's open on the bottom:
I'd been pricing these all over, and Global Industrial just recently significantly reduced the price, so even with shipping, it was pretty cheap, for how heavy-duty it is:

It's actually a 30 gallon drum dolly - for moving around 30 gallon drums. I wanted one that would hold the pot in place and most plant dollies don't have that feature. I was imagining the pot with a huge tree in it sliding off the dolly at some point and me having to hire someone to get it back on one day LOL. And then, the challenge is to find one that's mostly open on the bottom. I did a ton of shopping to find this option and I'm really happy with it.
