Ikea Raskog Home Kitchen Storage Utility Cart Turquoise

I have 100 2 oz. craft bottles of paint on the top shelf. I painted the tops so I can easily see the color. The other shelves hold brushes, Gesso, a Gallon Jug of water, paper towel and so on. It rolls easily throughout the house (floor and carpet) I push it either one handed or with my foot (I am currently in a wheelchair I have no trouble moving the cart). I would love to own a cart for every type of Art medium I have so I can bring my supplies to wherever I am working. The cart is so well-made, very sturdy. If you have one that broke call the manufacturer and get it fixed...things break. There is a good finish on it, mine is almost a year old and still looks new. Paint wipes off easily. I have used magnets to hang light things (color charts) on the outsides of the baskets(shelves,bins,drawers). The bottoms are ventilated allowing good air flow if you use this for plants. It would be great to roll seedlings outside then bring back in during the chilly evenings. The edges of the cart are smooth and safe, the cart is not top heavy, it will not easily tip over so it would be good around older kids. The wheels do not lock though. I did not buy this from Amazon. Yes the cart IS $29.99 at IKEA however the TOTAL cost was $43.44 with shipping and tax. That closes the price gap a bit. Delivery took 4 days. I read some of the questions so I tried fitting my KEURIG in the top shelf. It fits. I have a model that has the removable water bin on the side. It is an older model.

I love this cart! I purchased it to use as a homework station for my son...we keep it stocked with school supplies in the kitchen. The wheels make it easy to move around, depending on where we do homework and what we might need. It was easy to put together, and the color is nice. The only reason for 4 stars is the price...It is an Ikea product and is available from Ikea directly for less than half of this. If you have an Ikea near you or can wait 2+ weeks for delivery, I would suggest braving the store. It will cost you in shopping, but it will save you a lot of money. Whoever is selling this is making a lot of money off of those of us that can't easily get to Ikea...kudos to them for making it work, but it's kind of slimy and I am embarrassed for buying into the scheme. That said, the cart will be used in my house for a long time and I plan to buy more! But I'll get them from Ikea directly from now on.

Much stronger and thicker material than I expected. The metal is too strong to bend, bow or shudder. Flawless paint job. Very easy to put together- I didn't even need the booklet.My only complaint is the tiny black screws at the pipe connection points. They are so shallow that they are hard to get started into their threaded holes, and such weak metal that the small Phillips head strips easily if you don't have it started/threaded right. They need to add a few millimeters to the screw or use better steel. Once assembled these black screws get covered up by the plates that secure the baskets to the frame- so when or if the cart starts to loosen or wobble, it's their fault and you'll have to remove the basket and plate just to get to them to tighten or replace them. I suggest taking one to the hardware store and springing for a bag of 10 longer and stronger screws of the same size before you begin.Other than that flaw they are awesome, and I'll probably buy another as soon as I settle on what I'll use the first for.

I heard about this IKEA product on an Organizing Facebook group, decided it was perfect for "coastal theme" master bathroom but my local store didn't have it in stock. I tried to order online from IKEA but the turquoise/aqua color was out of stock. Ugh. Ordered on Amazon and it arrived in 4 days via FedEx. I love it! Three deep shelves that hold a ton of stuff. I have rolled bath towels on the bottom shelf, 2 cloth bins that are the height of the shelf to hold hair products, hair dryer and flat iron on the middle shelf and the top shelf has an organizing bin for makeup covered by a tray on half the cart, and a basket with wash cloths rolled up on the other half. It makes the bathroom look like a spa and when not in use, I roll it into the corner and it looks great. Very pleased with the color and the ease in putting it together.

I have used this cart for about a week now. I have been wanting one for quite a while and finally decided I had a valid use for it. It was easy to put together and the picture instructions were adequate. The cart's baskets are roomy enough to contain the planner and art supplies I use most. I like that the middle shelf is adjustable and the color is lovely. How did I live without this handy cart for so long?!?! It has endless uses.....I can see it being used as storage in a bathroom, kids room, office, kitchen, hair salon, art studio, etc. My main purpose was to store art supplies in my family room so I can create while enjoying the company of my family. For bigger projects, I have a studio away from the main part of the home but will probably purchase another cart for that room too!

This cart was really easy to put together and took me about a half hour going slowly. It is sturdy and very well-made. I am kicking myself that I did not pick this up at IKEA year or so ago when they still had turquoise in stock for $30. I recently contacted IKEA and they said the turquoise color is now discontinued, so my only choice if I wanted this color cart was to pay three times that amount online, which I did. IKEA now only carries tan, black and rust colored carts. I would recommend this product anybody who really wanted the turquoise. It came with all parts included , no issues.

I heard horror stories about how difficult it is to put IKEA furniture together, but this was a pleasant surprise. Everything was efficiently packed, and easy to put together. You don't even really need instructions. I had it assembled within 20 minutes and I have carpal tunnel. Really happy with how smooth it rolls, ease of use, and storage. You do pay a very large markup by ordering on Amazon but it was the only way I could get it here in Hawaii so it was money well spent. I will probably order another one in a different color. I'm using this one as an art cart for my kids, and I like that they can stick their drawings on it afterwards since it's magnetic. I highly recommend it, even with the high markup on Amazon.
