We feel like we hit the jackpot, because we might have just found a hack for small kitchens: a chic rolling kitchen cart from Costco. It's called the Seville Acacia Top Kitchen Cart with Drawers, and it checks all the boxes: It's movable, provides a spacious prep surface, offers open and closed storage, and only costs $140.
Plus, it's getting rave reviews from Costco shoppers who know a great deal when they see one. "Feels like I just added more counter space to my kitchen," one commented, while another wrote, "Looks great and more expensive than it was!" We did a little digging, so let's get into the details:
First, the kitchen cart packs a ton of storage options into its compact size. The 36-inch-by-18-inch butcher block top provides a spacious prep surface that doubles as a storage spot for a fruit bowl or daily coffee essentials. Underneath the acacia wood top, you'll find a pair of drawers ideal for storing utensils and stashing all those takeout menus.
The cart's two open shelves are a great place for extra dishes, cookware, or small appliances that didn't make it onto the countertops. The shelves support 50 pounds each, and their open design is a subtle time-saving hack: Stored items are accessible from all four sides so there's no need to waste time running around the cart. And because every square inch of this versatile piece is thoughtfully considered, you'll find two hanging hooks on one end and a nifty dish towel holder on the other.
We also give the kitchen cart major points for effortlessly blending style and function. Rolling carts often look and feel flimsy, but thanks to its premium hardwood construction, this one is anything but that. The one-inch thick acacia wood top delivers an element of warmth, while the crisp white paint color, silver hardware, and clean-lined design make the cart an elegant addition to any kitchen—all for $135.
In a small kitchen, there is power in flexible pieces that can play double-duty. Costco's rolling cart is exactly that. It sits on four lockable casters that allow you to effortlessly roll it from one spot to another, then securely lock it in place. Park it in the center of the kitchen in place of an island, push it against the wall, and use it as a designated coffee station or move it into the pantry to store small appliances you don't use on a daily basis.
