I was looking at these slim carts for a long time, but never fully realized how practical they are and how much storage they can add. Now that I needed to fill a gap formed by my new washing machine, which happened to be narrower than my old one, I remembered about these carts. I am happy to find this one, which is made of solid wood, does not look cheap and has closed front and back. This is a very important feature that I did not think of before. I actually wanted a more open cart to make it easier to reach to the things stored on it, but now I realize that the closed front and back hide the things stored in the cart and this way reduce the visual clutter. The cart rolls in and out very easily making it not a problem to get to the stuff stored in it.
