Rolling carts truly are the chameleons of storage organizers — they work in every room and in every kind of house, no matter the size. In fact, with their portability, the smaller the space the more useful rolling carts are. I’ve been using them in dorm rooms since my freshman year of college. Who didn’t have an all-purpose cart in their dorm, right? Whether it was a makeshift pantry, home for your toiletries, or all of the above, with the addition of more than a few random items (the latter which was the case for me and most other college students I knew).

Usually, rolling carts favor mDesign Metal Cart at West Elm, I realized what I was missing out on — I could have had a stunning statement piece that also doubled as an all-purpose storage solution. And now, as I move into my post-grad apartment, I’m certainly going to make the upgrade and retire my basic dorm cart at long last.

We here at AT are major West Elm fans — over the years, we’ve tested (and loved) many products from the home retailer, from sofas to dining tables to laundry hampers. We’ve also raved over this similar rolling laundry cart from mDesign last year, which was so slim it could fit between the washer and dryer. So when this metal cart got on our radar and it was available at West Elm, it was a match made in retail heaven. On top of looking extremely high-end for such a functional item, it’s also priced so affordably, which is why we fell in love with it more.

The editor- and reader-favorite retailer offers the metal rolling cart in two colors: a glossy black, which is $100, and shiny gold, which is $105 and is basically guaranteed to become the statement piece of any room. You can turn it into a side table in a living room, using the top shelf to display your favorite lamp, for instance, and store miscellaneous items on the bottom two shelves. It could also go in the kitchen and keep all of your cookware and tools in one easily transportable place. The options truly are endless — and with how versatile it is in terms of both design style and functionality, this rolling cart is without a doubt a steal. 

There is only a limited quantity left of each color, so head over to West Elm now to snatch up this eye-catching, bargain storage piece!
