Summer is almost here, and, of course, IKEA already has a gorgeous warmer weather collection out. The BRÖGGAN collection features plenty of fabrics and materials in bright shades of green, orange, and yellow as well as several wooden accessories. It has everything from cushion covers and mugs to rugs and carafes, but a definite standout is the BRÖGGAN serving cart

Made for sitting outdoors by the pool or in your yard, the serving cart is made of light-brown acacia wood, known for its durability and sturdiness. It also comes pretreated with layers of semitransparent wood-stain, so if you leave it out in the sun or if it sees a rainy day, it should still remain in great condition. The rubber-covered wheels are perfect to roll it out from the kitchen to wherever you need it to go. 

Practicality aside, this serving cart also looks incredibly sleek. The wood stain pops perfectly against summer brights, and it would look great with the BRÖGGAN serving tray on it or even the BRÖGGAN tablecloth draped over it. You couldn’t ask for a better way to welcome grilling season. If you’re looking for other outdoor furniture to pair with it, IKEA recommends taking a look at its NÄMMARÖ series, which features outdoor chairs, sofas, tables, and chaises made of the same acacia wood in a similar stain. 

Price-wise, this serving cart is far from the cheapest thing in the collection, but it’s still a worthwhile investment at just $119. If you don’t need a serving cart, you can borrow an idea from one reviewer who chose to use it as a “sturdy” plant stand with a gravel tray on top (and even move it from indoors to out depending on the weather and your plants’ light needs). It could also double as a bar cart or outdoor drink station when you’re entertaining. However you choose to use the BRÖGGAN serving car, it’s likely to be a summer staple for many years to come. Get yours now because it is a limited edition, so once it’s gone, it’s gone!
