Bottom Line

Pros

Cons

A sturdy, good-looking kitchen cart that has nearly everything most consumers will need. Once assembly is accomplished, it's a worthwhile kitchen investment with numerous uses and features.

Pros

Absolutely packed with handy features and storage space, thanks to its three shelves, spacious top and drawer, cabinet, and towel bar. Attractive two-tone finish pairs well with most kitchen decor.

Cons

Manufacturer recommends a helper for assembly, which is challenging. Instructions lack detail. A few customers report misaligned drawers and doors.

Check Price

Bottom Line

Though other carts offer more features and space, this affordable model has a practical design that works for anyone who prefers one with a small footprint.

Pros

Multi-tiered metal cart that's ideal for organizing basic kitchen items, from dishware to fruits and vegetables. Extremely easy to assemble.

Cons

It's fairly small and the shelves have limited space with no work surface. The cart is also a bit wobbly.

Winsome

Drop-Leaf Kitchen Cart

Check Price

Bottom Line

Despite a few minor quirks, this is a sturdy, nicely constructed cart that offers nice features for a mid-range price.

Pros

Generates enthusiasm for its solid build and ample storage space that includes a bottom cabinet and collapsible side drop-leaf shelves. Has an attractive natural wood finish.

Cons

Somewhat time-consuming to assemble, which is made more challenging by the unclear or non-existent instructions. Drawer is a bit rough to open.

The style, size, and price of this lovely cart won't work for everyone; but it's an impressive cart for those who have room in their kitchens and budgets.

Pros

A beautiful piece of furniture that's sturdy and has a granite top, towel holders, drawers, and cabinets. Though it's easier to put together with a helper, assembly is fairly straightforward.

Cons

Expensive. Some owners gripe about a few components being made of particle board. Takes up a lot of space.

Kitchens are filled with endless items: measuring cups, pots, pans, cooking oils, and other pantry items – that’s just the beginning of what fills this vital household room. Since these items can be hard to store in the cabinets of a kitchen, many turn to alternate options to get the job done. Kitchen carts come in a wide variety of options, and they can be decorative or a stellar source of storage – or even both at the same time. There are more basic models that are merely wire shelves to store items neatly on or there are alternate carts that provide additional counter space as well as storage cabinets to take advantage of.
