overpriced for what it is :/AnyaPretty flimsy. Wish I spent more on something sturdier (or less on this)2
A journey to put togetherHeatherThis is a great little homeschool cart and exactly what I wanted, but let me tell you the adventure it took putting this together.
Of the 26 step instructions, you start of in a confused state of white boards, never truly sure if you're using the correct piece.
After deciding that you're probably good, you're left with steps that leave your boards being held together by hopes and prayers. Never have I been as frustrated with Ikea instructions as I was using my hands and feet to hold together the boards of infuriation. Step 11 is when you finally -FINALY- use a screw to secure 2 of the 7 boards, but it is not until step 15 when you feel like you can finally breath a sigh of relief.
Just when you think the frustration is no more, step 18-20 hit you in the face like a hydra growing extra heads after you have just slain the beast. Using my toes to hold the pieces together, the monster was at long last slain and put together. Quest complete
Love the cart!4
Great piece - horrendous instructions. SaliPiece is exactly what I need as a stand for a card weaving loom. But in nearly 25 years of building IKEA, I’ve never seen such horrible instructions. 3
Not compatible with any storage binsPatriciaI liked this until I realized that none of the storage bins available anywhere will fit inside the cubbies. I even checked Target and dollar tree and everything is either way too small or just too big. Width of the cubbies is 9” while most bins offered by ikea or other stores are at least 9 1/2” wide. They are also kind of deep, so it would be nice to be able to use a bin to utilize the entire space. It’s sturdy and holds quite a lot otherwise. Really pay attention to the instructions. I installed one piece wrong side up and had to drill extra holes to make it work (other option was to take the whole thing apart when I was at the last step of the building process). 3
adore this cart for my office!RobinAMAZING find, hope they come out with accessories for the metal part. for now i'm using magnets to hold notes on it. it's the perfect size to hold all my office supplies in a very visible, ADHD proof way. 5
Love it!ElizabethThis little cart works great to organize my office and does not take up a lot of space. 5
Overall, a very useful cartJeremyI was hesitant to purchase given the higher price tag relative to the other carts that Ikea sells. However, this one looks nicer and seems more sturdy - and the price still beats many non-Ikea competitors. My only complaints are that it’s definitely on the small size, making it more difficult to fully utilize with more standard sized organizational pull outs containers (e.g. magazine holders, pencil boxes, etc.) and a having another color option or two to pick from would have been nice. 4
Nice Cart for My 3d PrinterMathewI bought this cart to set my 3d printer and materials on and be able to wheel it around my office easily. The cart itself feels very solid and accomplishes exactly what I need it to do once fully built. I also appreciate the fact that the instructions show how you can mirror the build process to have the shelve openings on different sides.
The building process, however, was hands down the worst I've ever experienced in an Ikea product. None of the cart parts are labeled which means you have to eyeball or outright guess which part of the shelf you're handling/needing for each step. Also, all the hardware and dowels all come in the same bag which makes reaching for a specific screw pointlessly tedious. This is such a bizarre miss from Ikea as they commonly label parts and hardware individually for every other piece of furniture in their catalog.
Overall I'm satisfied with the cart. All Ikea needs to do is correct the needlessly tedious building instructions and it would be perfect.4
Bad instructionsEmilyCould have labeled the white pieces its pretty standard practice for furniture directions. Unnecessarily hard to put together because of that. Besides that its a good utility cart.2
Works WellSarahGot this cart for my college dorm and it works exactly as I need.5
Easy to use and great for storagePaigeWe bought this as a storage option for the diaper station for our new baby. It hold everything we want it to and then some. Easy to put together, although we didn't look close enough at the instructions to see that there were 2 options for the shelves. It's been working out great!5
Practical Cart, Impractical AssemblySarahI have many pieces of IKEA furniture, and these directions were the most difficult to understand. Tricky pictures, many complicated steps, and many places where assembly could go wrong and you may need to back track. I love the cart, and it serves a very practical purpose with good use of space. However, be ready to take your time with assembly and bring all of your visual spatial skills for interpreting the instructions!4
Clever and interesting storage.MaryGood storage piece in my tiny house. Options to suit various size items. The metal tray shelf and side cover add interest. The directions were not clear and I have assembled a number of IKEA items. That is why 4 /5 stars.4
Nice cartJanI bought this for my sewing room to hold my serger. It works great. Plenty of space for the supplies and some extra. It’s nice that it rolls but I don’t use it that way. Perfect for my needs.5
Worst instructionAlbertPretty good cart, but the instruction is confusing and unclearly, hard to assemble2
Art CartJasonWife wanted this for or budding artists - it's better than having them draw all over the walls because that's where their supplies are. We can move the supplies out to a different spot away from the temptation of a nearby wall.5
