There are side-by-side comparisons on YouTube - I'll see if I can find a couple but you can just search on "Raskog michaels" there. I have Raskogs and when Michael's brought theirs out looked at it and thought it was a bit lesser quality (like the mesh) - and also wondered about trademarks - it's so close. Here's one: https://m.

Yes for the Raskog - people do that. I'm not sure i'd trust the Michaels over a long period since the mesh is a lighter gauge but maybe someone has done it.

Works great and I use my big shot soooo much more then I did before (when it sat on the floor). __________________ *\|/**\|/**\|/**\|/*Jill *\|/**\|/**\|/**\|/*

Die Cut Diva Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Wherever I am, that's the place to be!	I have the Ikea one and love it. Very sturdy and have it chock full of things. I didn't think I'd like the wheels at first, but I love that I can move it around my room as needed. Plus, I got mine out of the Ikea Clearance center. Someone bought it, put it together and for whatever reason, didn't like it and returned it. I got it for (I think) 20% off the retail price AND I didn't have to put it together!

Raskog is a little sturdier than Michael's carts, but they are very good too. Also, Michael's are more readily available because unless you live near an IKEA, you will pay a fortune for shipping. Currently I keep my Cricut, mats and vinyl on a Raskog. It's easy to just roll to my desk and use then push back into the closet when I'm done. Not craft related, but I aslo have one downstairs for my KitchenAid mixer and accessories in the kitchen. That thing is SO heavy!! Hope this helps.

Michael's owns Darice and I think they have something to do with the ownership of Consumer Crafts, as well. I have one of Michael's carts and use it as my coloring station. Top tier holds my alcohol markers (standing up). Middle tier holds my pencil binders. Bottom tier miscellaneous. Having the heavier stuff going up instead of down makes it lean just tiny bit when I pull/push from the top tray but otherwise I'm very happy with the cart.

Like the others it's not as heavy duty or sturdy as a Raskog but could be nice for some items. I wouldn't put something like a die cutting machine on the top. The mesh is a lighter gauge and the cart, even when empty, wiggles a bit if you hold on to a side and move move it back and forth.

Proud Fan Club Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: teetering on the brink of everything	I have a Michael's 3 tier cart. I love it. Partly because it is shorter than the other one I have which has the mesh some have mentioned. Both are sturdy and I use them for items I don't use everyday as well as "cards to be reclaimed" storage--{bottom tray red} and stuff bought for a project and left over from said project { middle tray- gray} and coloring mediums that don't fit nicely into cupboards or trays ( think pan pastels, extra prismacolor pencils, large bottles of peroxide and alcohol (art kind not drinking kind) one tray is reserved exclusively for Christmas papers I have used in previous craft explosions and think I might one day use up ( lol). Anyway I like both of mine and they were both $30. Both the bigger gray one first and then the red Michael's one abuot 6 months later. I know I bought the gray one at a Home everything store in a mall on the EAst north east side of Wichita, KS but don't ask me what the name of it was...It is kinda like a Tuesday morning for house/cooking/furniture stuff. __________________ c-mouse- If you can't say nuttin nice--don't say nuttin at all.

Proud Fan Club Member Join Date: Nov 2013 Location: NYC	It seems like you are interested in open access carts. In case anyone wants closed carts- I just got two that are plastic closed drawers that roll. I got this for 8 1/2 x 11 paper. It is not the sturdiest but it was the best price, esp with labor day sale and I dont love spending a lot of money on storage. If you are not going to roll it a lot it could be an option. Also you dont have to put the wheels on at all. It is tall so make note of that. Wont fit under anything. 10-Drawer Rolling Cart - Organization Top, Plastic I have 2 of these that I am using for 12 x 12 and misc supplies. Very sturdy. Again, I got it on a better than this price for Labor day sale. Also too tall for average desks but works under my drafting table.

Amazon.com: ECR4Kids 3-Tier Metal Rolling Utility Cart - Heavy Duty Mobile Storage Organizer, Grey: Industrial & Scientific It costs more, but is a bit larger and is very sturdy. It says that a tray/shelf can hold up to 40 lbs.! I also really like that it comes with a plastic mat for each tray which I am using so that my smaller storage containers aren't grating on the metal mesh. I bought one for my daughter and she puts houseplants on the top tray. __________________ "When I do good I feel good, when I do bad I feel bad, and that is my religion." --Abraham Lincoln

Glitter Guru Join Date: May 2004 Location: Ponteix, SK	I was in a scrapbook retreat and some people had some of these rolling carts and the one gal had a board that fits right on the cart kind of talked but sitting on the top basket, she said she keeps her big shot on there all the time. So when you lift the board up you can still have storage in that top basket. Anyhow I was coming to post something about Cart comparisons because I was wondering if anyone has the one at Walmart, the three tier mainstays storage cart? I just watched video and thus one appears as though it would be sturdier than Michaels one, just debating putting it together right now

For someone with limited space or who doesn't need as big a cart for their craft space, this could be a nice addition. It's about 15.5" in diameter. Mine is the soft gray. The top tray is upside down to make the height right but any of the Trays can be turned. Two wheels lock.

Rubber Obsessor Join Date: Oct 2019 Location: Colorado Posts: 131 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts	I was at Michaels this last weekend, and I looked at carts briefly. They all seemed very sturdy (unlike the P.O.S cart that I'm using for misc stuff until I get an actual night stand). If I was in the market for a crafting cart, the ones from Michaels would be great (if I could find one in a neutral color, that is).
