The 10 Best Serving Carts

The Christopher Knight Home Benett (about $189) features an attractive glass top and a base constructed from all-weather wicker that has been wrapped around a durable iron frame, making it a perfect choice for transporting refreshments to guests on the patio.

With its sturdy metal frame, rugged hardware handles on either side, and casters built into its base, the Tribecca Home Myra (appx. $194) can help you organize and carry a ton of food and drink from the kitchen to the dining room, while adding a touch of rustic charm.

The Dofurnilim Utility (about $200) is constructed from solid wood planks that have been hand finished, and former metal water pipes, creating an interesting mix of industrial and rustic style. Each thick shelf is waterproof and wear resistant, so it should last for years.

This elegant option from Coaster Home Furnishings (around $70) will add an upscale touch to any home. The shiny chrome frame and sleek black glass shelves display refreshments beautifully, while three rings on the bottom keep wine bottles in place.

The heavy-duty Bayou Classic (about $136) is perfect for outdoor entertaining, because you it's not going to be ruined if there's an unexpected rain storm. Both of the stainless steel shelves have four-inch sides to keep everything safely secured.

The Winsome Trading Jimmy (about $127) provides a drawer and a closed cabinet, along with chrome accent rails that help keep items from falling off. The casters can be removed if you want it to be a stationary bar or a multitiered buffet tray.

Add some mid-century charm to your cocktail party with the Coaster Home Furnishings Contemporary (about $97). The chrome frame reliably supports the top tray, bottom shelf, and wine bottle holders, giving you plenty of versatile space.

The simple Winsome Wood Jonathan (about $133) will be at home in a traditional or country kitchen, with a space-saving design featuring a drop-leaf that tucks away when not needed. While it's not too hard to put together, some have difficulty aligning the shelves correctly.

The Whitmor Supreme (appx. $31) may not be the most chic model around, but it's still a good budget-friendly choice for transporting everyday meals. Its 250-pound load capacity gives you plenty of options if you want to use it for storage.

Thanks to its faux marble top that can double as a prep area, the versatile King's Brand K02 (around $116) is as useful as it is stylish. You can leave it out in a corner of the kitchen to provide additional counter and organizational space.
