Good things come in small packages.

With a simple minimalist design, it can complement any decor style and has wrap-around bars to keep all your bottles of booze from slipping off when you're rolling it around.

Everyone's obsessed with this affordable bar cart from Ikea—including me. I've owned mine for three years and used it for everything from booze to makeup to art supplies (so versatile!). I love how compact it is (I can roll it into my hall closet when it's not in use if I need more space) and that the shelves are easy to adjust to different heights.

Joanna Gaines called—she wants her bar cart back.

Reviewers praise it for being sturdy (one person even used it to hold their TV!) and for having smooth-rolling wheels with locking casters.
