Kitchen Rolling Carts - The Nomadic Life

Kitchen Rolling Carts vary greatly in size and function, but one thing they do have in common is convenience.

All right, two things: they all have wheels, but that is just what gives them the edge.

Carts allow you to move your 'kitchen', so to speak.

A kitchen rolling cart can be moved into an adjoining room for entertaining or onto a deck for outdoor cooking. 

The cart can move as guests move to another room.

Many are constructed of weather-resistant materials and can be used outside on the deck or patio, in an RV or on a boat.

There When You Need Them

Some larger-model kitchen carts are more like kitchen islands with wheels and can be moved to reconfigure multi-use areas or open-space designs.

They can be moved so work areas can be more efficiently used when more than one cook is in the kitchen.

Kitchens with little space or that have floor plans and traffic patterns that limit the work area, benefit greatly by having a rolling island that can later be moved out of the way.

Carts, like kitchen islands, are found in almost any style or design to match, contrast, or complement your existing decor.

Common materials are woods like beech, cherry, and oak for the legs and cabinetry, and, for the top or work surface, hardrock maple for butcher block cutting surfaces; metals like stainless steel or copper; and natural stones like granite and marble.

Many carts provide extra storage shelves as well as additional work and serving space, and some include electric cooking surfaces and fold-out or extended breakfast bars.

Some rolling carts are specifically for serving beverages and include a wine rack or small refrigeration unit along with racks for bar utensils, towels, and glasses or mugs.

Many smaller units have carriage wheels on one end for easy movement outdoors.

They're used primarily for serving foods and beverages and often their unique design is reminiscent of Tea Garden carts or Parisian serving carts.
