While IKEA has many products that have reached cult-favorite status, IKEA pros know that the utility carts are one of the store’s best buys. However, a new, more compact cart in a very on-trend olive green hue is angling to take the crown of best multipurpose organizer from IKEA’s popular rectangular RÅSKOG design, and the $19.99 organizing hero looks so much more expensive than it is.

IKEA’s new JUTTERSBO utility cart comes in a gorgeous green-gray hue with a crimped design, ensuring it’ll blend in like an intentional decor piece wherever you put it. Made out of 50% recycled polypropylene plastic with steel legs, the cart has a matching handle and black wheels to ensure you can move it around from place to place.

Unlike some of the company’s other utility cart designs, all of the three tiers are round, making it easy to fit in tight spaces and corners. The three-level design measures 33 7/8 inches in height, 13 1/8 inches in length, and 14 1/8 inches in width with a maximum load of 26 pounds.

With its nearly 3-foot design and compact body, this new utility cart is perfect for storing towels and toiletries in the bathroom, displaying your beauty products and hair care tools in your bedroom, or using as a side table for remotes, books, and other living room knick knacks.

You could also use it as pantry storage, put it next to your kitchen counter to free up extra space, or level up your outdoor entertainment game by using it to roll out drinks, appetizers, or other hosting items. It appears that the levels have four small holes for drainage in each tier, meaning that you could also use it to display plants if you really want to get crafty.

One happy reviewer who used it as a nightstand said the product is “small and cute” and that it “perfectly matches my Tallasen bed,” and was “lightweight yet sturdy.” They added, “Wheels don’t turn as smoothly as I’d like, but maybe they need to be broken in? Not an issue for me since I’ll only move it occasionally or I could just pick it up by the handle. Super easy to build, only took 12 minutes. Can’t beat the price, so much cheaper than a wooden nightstand.”

If you don’t live near an IKEA and don’t want to basically double your cost by paying IKEA’s expensive delivery fee, you can also shop a similar three-tiered utility cart with round levels at Walmart. 

At $29.99, the black Mainstays 3 Tier Round Metal Utility Cart is slightly more expensive but roughly the same size and shape as the IKEA version. However, the tiers are made out of metal with a wire mesh bottom on each.
