Check out the utility cart at Sam's: Raskog knock-off. It's about $15 cheaper than Ikea, and it is available in the store so you won't have to worry about shipping.
I think I'm picking one up this weekend because I doubt they will be in stock for long. |

The only color I saw at the store was the one in the picture. But that's okay, because I like that one.  |

Looks like I am driving to Sam's tomorrow morning. Thanks so much for posting! I wanted the Raskog but didn't want to spend the money plus shipping since no ikea is close. The color matches my "stuff".

I ordered my Raskog Cart from Ikea last year and the shipping was really pretty cheap. I ordered the Antonius (sp?) baskets for it too.

I have the Raskog ( Just got it for christmas) I was surprised at how heavy it was! I have also seen the cart at sams. In fact. I have touched it 2x's! lol. Everytime I look at it, my kids say, You already got one!
here is what I noticed between the 2.
the Roskog is heavier and seems bigger to me than the sams one. the baskets are bigger. I dont think it is taller
The sams one's baskets look more square.
The Roskog has better metal on the bottom of the baskets.
The sams baskets have a finer mesh metal on the bottom of the baskets. For strength, each basket has 3 little "humps" in the bottom. this will not matter to you if you are using it with a tray for scrap supplies, But if you were to use it for glasses ( I have seen them set up as a little "bar") or something, the inside of the baskets are not flat. if you need a flat surface... A piece of board or thick cardboard inside of the basket, would provide a flat surface. Thought it was worth mentioning.
The sams cart has 2 locking wheels, where the Roskog does not.
Those are the Major differences I noticed... BUT if you dont have an Ikea Near you and you really want a cart, I think the sams one is a fabulous option! if we would of not just got an Ikea this last year, I totally would of been snatching one of these up at sams until our next Ikea Run! ( yes, We would sometimes take a little mini trip for an ikea run and a little family fun!, we ARE IKEA LOVERS!)

I know someone who has both. The IKEA trays are 3/4" wider and 1/2" deeper. I have 2 IKEA carts that are set up and in use. One in the kitchen and one being used at my bedside table. I just picked up 2 of the Sam's cart this week. They are just not put together yet. One will be used in my scraproom and DD will be using the other. Her dorm apt. and her bedroom at home is Tiffany Blue. This is more of an aqua and will work with her rooms. The IKEA is more of a light teal.

Got mine last night! Too late to assemble but will get to it this morning. It was surprisingly heavy and several had already been sold. I'm excited that the price was so good.

Where did your Sam's have the cart? My sister went to our Sam's Club yesterday and couldn't find it so she asked for help. Their computer showed they had 48 in stock but no one knew where they were. They finally found it up above the breakfast aisle on a pallet. She said they got a fork lift and got it down. Got her cart and put all the rest back up. ETA: My sister said if anyone is going to Sam's to get one, make sure you have the item number (930442) with you in case they don't have them out like our Sam's Club doesn't. It will be easier for them to find with the item number. |

Does anyone have one that would know the dimensions? The one from Sam's shows on the box 13.75" by 16.8" by 30.75". The tray part is 15" x 11". My sister said it is easy to put together. |

For those who bought the Sam's one please take a pic with it filled. I'd love to see how much it holds in comparison to the raskog

It will be easier for them to find with the item number. That is crazy! Our store had Christmas stuff broken down and the new "stuff" set up within two days of Christmas. The cart was on the first row facing the check out. The first three rows are a bit of a random sampling with some of the beginning set up of outdoor furniture for summer. I figure it is a special buy item that they sell fast and that is why they were on that first row.

I'd love to see how much it holds in comparison to the raskog Not finished filling yet and will attempt a pic later if someone doesn't beat me to it. I need some additional trays to keep things organized so it is a work in progress. I would guess it holds very near the same amount. I can fit a ton of stuff in this thing. |

I broke down and bought one today. I like that it's lightweight but seems sturdy. The color isn't my favorite but I can live with it.

I saw it in our Sams yesterday. It was 2-3 rows back from cashiers, depending how you counted the patio furniture. I think there were flower bulbs and planters on the same row, and folding picnic tables. The Rubbermaid cart was next to it. There wasn't a floor model and I had walked past it without noticing.
The box is small, probably no bigger than a portable file tote or case of beer. I didn't cou my but guess there were 30ish there.
The blue shown on the box was nice.

Thanks for sharing this info.
I don't care for the color. But, a can of spray paint, will work!
Ikea has it in a grey tone too.

My sister and I stopped at our Sam's Club yesterday to pickup a few things. Out of curiosity we looked to see if they had the carts down from above the breakfast aisle yet. Nope, they are still up there. They are in a plain cardboard box with 12/26 on it.
I haven't decided if I want one yet so I guess it is a good thing they aren't out on the floor.

I saw that and was thinking of getting one for the garage/outside. Was thinking it could be useful on the patio to store outdoor picnic items...

I don't have a Sam's membership, but have seen the Ikea Raskog in teal/grey/beige in person. World Market also stocks a couple different sizes/styles of carts in the office furniture section for $50+. I also found similar carts in the gardening aisle (e.g. planters, spheres) at HomeGoods last week for $30+. HTH those who are still searching...

Stopped at Sam's Club today and bought 2 carts--one for me and one for my scrappy bff! I found them in an aisle in the middle of the store with other carts and storage items. Hubby was NOT happy when he saw I was bringing yet another thing in that room!

Oh, they could also hold wrapping paper supplies. It wouldn't be hard to add something to the outside to hold the rolls and use the shelves for other wrapping goodies.

Just an FYI, Michaels has a gift wrap cart that is somewhat simliar that has holes in the bottom shelf I think for wrapping paper.
