A Cart & More!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like many people have far too little room to ever organize my laundry area as well as bathrooms. This Rubbermaid wheeled cart is just what the dr ordered. I can fold laundry right out of the dryer and roll into the closet for storage or towels into the bathroom without taking up all my room. Sturdy rolls great too to boot.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Cart... If For A Specific Purpose

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got the Rubbermaid white 3-tier closet wheeled storage cart. As long as you understand what it is you’re getting and with the understanding that you should have a very intentional use for it, before purchasing, the purchase should be worth it.
At 25” high x 15” wide x 10 ¼” deep, this cart is small. It’s good for small nooks and crannies… for example in bathrooms, under cabinets, in closets, under or by desks, and so on. Once together it’s fairly sturdy, as long as any force applied is downward and generally not side-to-side. Realistically, folks aren’t going to place inordinately heavy items on such a small cart anyway. And, most people aren’t going to put sideways pressure on the cart. So, the cart should hold what you place on it… as long as what you place on it is reasonable… toiletries, cleaning supplies, small canned goods (soups, etc.), desk items… things of that nature. The wire used on the shelves is cheap (but this is the way almost all similar rubbermaid shelves have been since I can remember… and I’m 46) but, again, sturdy enough. The wires can be bent from side to side when pressure is applied to them individually. However, they are collectively strong enough when downward pressure is applied. The supporting poles are strong enough for their intended purpose. The casters are small and plastic. They roll easily and don't bind when moving the cart (keep in mind, there are no caster locks, which makes single-person assembly harder than it needs to be).
My biggest complaint about this unit is assembly. The shelves (which we’ll amend by putting cardstock in them to lessen the chance that items will slip through the wires) are held in position by two downward-facing “L-shaped “hooks” at the bottom of either side of each shelf, two protruding points at the top of either side of each shelf, and good ole gravity/friction. Both hooks and points can allow the shelves to slide forward and back as they don’t “click” or “lock” into anything on the supports. You have to get the first two shelves in place (I initially started on the bottom and attempted to work my way up, which failed). I found, through trial and error, it was best to get the middle shelf situated… install the top shelf and then the bottom. I used my body to hold one support upright (fighting the casters that wanted to let the supports slip out of place), positioning one side of the shelf on the support pushed against by body, sliding the other side of the shelf in the other support, and doing a contortionist act to hold the two supports all while trying to get the top shelf installed. With two uppermost shelves installed, it’s easy to install the bottom shelf. However, this is really a two person job… one to hold the supports… one to install the shelves (ideally from bottom to top). It took me about 35 minutes to assemble this shelf on my own (and I’m a fairly handy DIY’er who’s installed flooring, electric, plumbing, shelving, and all kinds of things). I can figure out most assemblies fairly easily and thought this would be easy. It wasn’t. I honestly should’ve waited for my wife to get home to help me, but my pride wouldn’t let me do that. To boot, the included instructions do not tell you the best way to approach assembly. They only show how the shelf sections connect. FWIW, after the shelf is together it holds together well… as long as you don’t have to jostle it too much. I was able to lift the unit by one support rung and move the shelving unit around, without it feeling like it was going to fall apart. I wasn’t rolling it, as, at almost six feet tall, it was quite a bend to reach the 2-foot tall shelf. Realistically, most people would likely roll the shelf (as long as it isn’t on a thick-nap carpet, you should be able to roll it) or will pick it up by both supports. With that approach in mind, the shelf will hold together.
(Rubbermaid, recessed size-fitted top and bottom rail holes in which to insert the “L hooks” would be much better. Make the “L hook point” longer so the “hook” can go through size-fitted top and bottom recessed holes that should be drilled through each rail. This approach would offer more support while allowing you to keep costs down, relatively speaking as more machining would be necessary and a little more metal and plastic would be needed for the “L hook.” However, screws, nuts, bolts, and washers would still not be necessary. Assembly would be easier. The unit would be sturdier.)
In closing, the Rubbermaid white 3-tier closet wheeled storage cart will do what my wife needs it to… that is, keep smaller baking-related items organized in our pantry. The shelf gets a solid four-star because of that. But, because of how difficult the shelf was to assemble (unless you have an assistant) it could, potentially, lose a star. For our use, it’s a 4 star. YMMV.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cart only took me a few minutes to put together, which was great. I used it in my laundry room and then my daughter took it to use in her room for organizing art supplies. We already need another! Love that it is slightly narrow and can fit in small places. The wheels are helpful too. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I picked this cart up for my kitchen to store some fruit and potatoes. Works great for my bag of potatoes and bags of apples. Easy to put together and sturdy for what you need it for. Very satisfied with this and it fits right beside my refrigerator which is a plus for me.

Great storage cart.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great storage cart. First of all, it has a great amount of storage space. There's a good amount of space in between each tier so I was able to fit everything I wanted in each tier. I love that it's not too big so it doesn't take up much space. Secondly, it has wheels! So I can easily move it around to where ever I'm needing it to be. It's pretty sturdy as well. A lot of the stuff I'm storing is pretty heavy and it hasn't had any issues holding up. I have mixed feelings about the putting it together process. It was pretty easy for the most part. But it was also pretty frustrating as well. There were a few times I had trouble putting it together and the instructions weren't really that helpful. I wish the cart didn't have the wide spaces as the bottom (tray?) of each tier. I have to be careful about what I store or else it will just fall through. I wish it was flat or maybe had smaller spaces. But I think a mat or something like that would help fix that. The positives outweigh the negatives for me, so I'd definitely recommend this storage cart.

Storage Cart

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Rubbermaid Closet Wheeled Storage Cart 3 tier a few weeks ago. I was very disappointed in this product. I have tried to put it together for weeks and every time I have tried. it will not go together. I followed the instructions to a tee and when i thought i had done. It would just fall to the floor. I was surprised of the poor quality of the product. Because Rubbermaid always has great products.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
