Kitchen cart styles

Whether for the home or as office kitchen storage, there are several cart styles that provide space and organization, depending on the intended use. Serving carts, stands, and racks have several shelves on wheels to hold many items and include at least one handle to push the dolly around the office for delivering coffee and snacks to employees. Storage carts have built-in drawers and cupboards to hold utensils, plates, pots, and pans that won’t fit in kitchen cupboards. Some devices include a cutting board on the top for chopping vegetables and meat without the need to have a separate board that takes up counter space.

Office kitchen storage features

Each utility cart style may also include one of several extra features that add to its usability and design. Some features available on kitchen storage carts include:

• Removable shelves that users can place on different levels to create enough space for odd-sized objects
• Foldable shelves that make the dolly smaller to fit in tight spaces when not in use
• Towel bar to hold kitchen cloths for hand drying or to use as a handle that turns the storage unit into a kitchen serving cart
• Open storage with a closed back that makes it safer to access small appliances, such as toasters and microwaves

Kitchen cart materials

Storage and bar carts feature a selection of materials that fit into various room designs and their makeup also affects their durability. Wood kitchen carts offer sturdy hardwoods for country-style kitchens. Those made of particle board with faux wood coatings complement many home and office kitchen decors. Plastic choices are lightweight, making them effortless to move about any room or space with ease, no matter the flooring. Metal varieties provide a stylish look in modern kitchens and they can hold heavy objects without stress.
