Jeni Aron, founder of Clutter Cowgirl, cited it as one of her favorite dorm-room storage solutions, as it can double as a nightstand (and then work just as well in a student’s first apartment). Of course, the Råskog is helpful outside the kitchen as well, and has appeared in our archives a number of times. In our guide to the best bar carts, the Råskog won the title of “best bargain” with Dina applauding its durability. And for an extra $12, you can buy a cutting board designed specifically for the topmost shelf to have a surface to make your drinks. I have a hodgepodge of things in mine, including honeys, hot sauces, and almost-ripened avocados.īut you can also use it in a more focused way, like Vanessa Dina, author of The Art of the Bar Cart, who has transformed her Råskog into a martini-making station. The tiers are secure and the wheels are steady. Assembly is easy enough - just a few screws. There’s a reason it’s a top seller: The Råskog is really a no-muss, no-fuss solution, which I found out for myself when the company sent me one to test. Jammed with spice jars and rolling pins, she would “roll it up to the stove then tuck it away in a corner, post-cooking.” Similarly, when Gury lived in a tiny Brooklyn apartment, the Råskog gave her much-needed (and cheap) storage space. The “junk drawer on wheels,” as she describes it, has served her as a dumping ground for kitchen linens and cleaning supplies. “It’s the Ikea cart that’s doing the most in small-space kitchens across New York City,” explains Brittany Nims, associate director of e-commerce partnerships and business development at Vox Media. The multipurpose Råskog takes the “best overall” blue ribbon for its endless versatility.
