    ManiacQuilter2 - Hi! Actually, Walmart doesn't sell anything similar to these carts. They have rolling laundry carts and things like that, but nothing with the high sides so stuff doesn't fall out.

    I forgot to mention that the Ikea Raskog cart also comes in beige or dark gray (in addition to the pretty turquoise). Just in case the blue doesn't match your sewing room décor.

    Here's a link to Ikea:

    And here's the Target one (this is the gray, it also comes in white):

    Thanks so much for the detailed review. I had seen both of them and was wondering which one might work better.

    I like the look of the Ikea cart. I have to be patient. Ikea is coming to town next summer and I can't wait. I will have a big shopping list by then.

    Thanks for the side-by-side review!

    I have the turquoise Ikea cart too, I use it for all my ironing stuff. I love it! It probably gets more compliments and jealous looks than any other piece of "furniture" in my sewing room.

    Great review! I have wanted one of those Ikea carts for a long while, but have managed to talk myself out of it. In reality, it won't work for what I want it for, but it's so dang cute! I also saw one recently at Sam's Club - I don't know if it's closer to the Ikea cart of the Target cart, but I seem to remember it being the same teal color as the Ikea cart. I also don't remember the price. I know, I'm Very helpful!

    I've had my eye on the Ikea cart for the longest and after your review and photos I'm sold! I live 1.5 hrs. away from one and plan to go in Sept. Question: Did it not come in the color pink at one time?
