Difficult to assemble JanPutting this cart together was a nightmare experience. The pre-drilled holes were all on an angle so finding the thread was fiddly and difficult. Because the holes are located in the inside corners of the shelves with no room to rotate the Allen key or screwdriver it was VERY difficult to fit them. I have put together plenty of flat pack pieces in the past and this was the worst experience so far. Don't buy this item unless you have a lot of patience. 2
Useful if a bit fiddlyLindaThis is an excellent trolley, neat, good size. I have a couple on the balcony and in the bathroom so yes I’m very happy with the product. However, it loses one star because it’s a bit fiddly to assemble.4
Best bar cartLisaShelves are ideal height for tall bottles. Top shelf is not as strong, I use it for glasses. Handy and cheap. Also can be used as a tea or toast station if bench space is lacking.5

Terrible threads on screw holeMathewCould not get the screw on the middle hole for the screw using both the Alan key provided and ended up using a drill.
Terrible job of this thread hold and ended up with a screw in the hole with no way to get it out either (when just putting the screw in to test if it was catching on the shelf part or not)
IKEA does some good stuff but this one and another product has been quite difficult to work with makes things very frustrating.
Not getting this one again for sure…1

Worst built everKarinaAssembly was more challenging than expected. It involves a lot of small quarter-turns (around 20+ per section), and with multiple screws in tight spaces, it became quite tedious. I ended up with noticeable wrist pain by the end.
The main issue is the very confined working space—it feels quite claustrophobic when trying to tighten screws inside the frame. You’re often forced into awkward angles, and visibility is poor, which makes the process even more frustrating.
Because you’re holding the short end of the Allen key most of the time, there’s limited torque, so tightening takes longer and requires more repetitive movement. It becomes uncomfortable whether you’re right- or left-handed.
If you have any joint or muscle issues (e.g. wrist problems), this could be quite a difficult assembly and may not be worth the effort.
Overall: Functional product once built, but the assembly process is unnecessarily uncomfortable. I would not recommend it for anyone with wrist or joint concerns.3
This Is The Third One In My CollectionSallyI love this trolley, great for storing craft things and then easily move to where I am actually doing the craft. Great for cleaning up around the house and putting things back that seem to migrate from room to room. Rolls very well, wheels are great. Sturdy too, love it.5
Trolley picture beats realityMeredithProduct excellent but impossible for older hands to put together. Thank heavens for friends with strong wrists and thumbs3

The most annoying flatpack I’ve ever builtAmandaThis thing looks cute don’t get me wrong… but my god… the use of an allen key to attach the shelves where the thread is terrible and there’s only room for about 0.25% rotation for each turn of the key… if they had just used regular Phillips head screws this would have been 10000000% easier to assemble with a gun or even just a regular screwdriver would be at least 1000% easier! Pulling my hair out over this… if you have to build a few of these save yourself the mental anguish and invest in some ratcheting allen keys.2
Great value and productAimeeBought two and they are excellent in my small apartment as I can maximise storage space and move them around as required. They are affordable but look and feel like a more expensive product. Another budget winner from IKEA.
Just a note on the screws: through trial and error assembling my two trolleys, I discovered they're actually designed to work at an angle so the reviewer who posted that you can only turn them a fraction of a turn is actually incorrect (but that's what I initially thought too). You can keep the Allen/hex key/wrench "plugged in" all the way around at an angle as they have ball ends. Hope that helps!5
Great little trolleysJenBought these as extras for treatment room in gp practice ... very nice5
