The 8 Best Rolling Office Supply Carts Under $150 for Desks and Classrooms, Ranked & Reviewed

Our verdict: Reinforced aluminum poles, polypropylene shelves and anti-tangle locking casters.

The Liboocare is a 3-tier utility cart built with reinforced aluminum poles and durable polypropylene shelves. It rolls on four swivel casters with an anti-tangle design and two locking brakes, and measures 31.1 inches long, 16.5 wide and 37 tall. It sells for $50 to $100.

It wins on the details that matter: locking brakes keep the cart where you park it, the anti-tangle casters resist the hair and thread that jam cheap wheels, and aluminum poles do not rust. The compact footprint fits beside a desk or in a supply closet. It is the priciest in the ranking, but the build supports the cost.

Buy it as a general-purpose office cart for paper, printers and supplies. The listing gives no weight capacity.

Our verdict: A 225 pound rated utility cart with injection-molded shelves and rust-free legs.

The MaxWorks 80774 is a 3-shelf utility cart rated for 225 pounds maximum, with injection-molded polypropylene shelves and aluminum legs that will not rust. It costs $50 to $100 and is designed for a wide variety of working environments.

Where it lands, second, comes down to the fact that it is the only cart here with a stated heavy load rating, which matters for reams of paper, boxes of files or small equipment. Molded polypropylene shelves resist stains and spills, and aluminum legs avoid rust in damp storage rooms. The tradeoff is that the listing does not mention locking casters, so a loaded cart may roll when you do not want it to.

Buy it for heavy supplies, a print room or a workshop-style office. Check the casters before loading it to the limit.

Our verdict: Eight spacious drawers on a powder-coated steel frame for $25 to $50.

The SUNALLY is a rolling cart with 8 spacious storage drawers, built on a powder-coated steel frame, in green. It costs $25 to $50, the lowest tier in the ranking.

It places third because eight drawers sort small supplies, such as pens, tape, staples and craft items, better than any open cart can. The powder-coated steel frame resists chips and wear, and the price is hard to beat. Drawer carts typically have a lower weight limit than utility carts, and the listing gives none.

Buy it for desk supplies, craft materials or a teacher's classroom. Do not stack heavy reams or equipment on it.

Our verdict: Four drawers, an organizer top and removable wheels, with built-in drawer stops.

The IRIS USA cart has four drawers, an organizer top and wheels that can be removed. The listing mentions built-in drawer stops that help prevent drawers from falling out, and it targets teachers and crafters. It costs $25 to $50.

The fourth spot follows because it blends practical details with a recognizable brand. Drawer stops stop the classic cart accident: yanking a drawer out and watching it crash to the floor. Removable wheels turn it into a stationary unit when you want, and the organizer top keeps pens and scissors at hand. It has fewer drawers than the SUNALLY.

Buy it for a classroom or home office where the cart moves occasionally. Choose the SUNALLY for more drawers.

Our verdict: Three fabric drawers, a wide wood top and open shelves on four wheels.

The DEVAISE is a 3-drawer mobile file cabinet with fabric drawers, a wide wood top, open storage shelves and four wheels, two of which lock. It costs $50 to $100.

Its fifth position rests on how it doubles as a small piece of furniture. The wood top gives you a surface for a lamp or printer, the open shelves hold binders, and the lockable casters keep it still. Fabric drawers are lighter than metal and quieter, but they are less sturdy under heavy files and may sag over time.

Buy it for a home office where looks matter. Do not rely on it for heavy file storage.

Our verdict: A metal storage cart on wheels with drawers that slide on premium tracks.

This rolling cart has a reinforced metal frame, drawers that slide on tracks and wheels for moving it around. It is a storage cart priced at $50 to $100.

Rank sixth is a result of the fact that the metal frame and smooth tracks are good signs, but the listing gives no drawer count, capacity or caster details. A metal frame is stronger than plastic and resists warping, and tracks keep drawers from jamming. The brand is unnamed, which makes support uncertain.

Buy it if you prefer a metal drawer cart and can verify the dimensions. Compare it with the SUNALLY for clearer details.

Our verdict: A 24 inch two-drawer file cabinet with dual support, aimed at accountants and teachers.

The GYIIYUO is a 24 inch wide, 2-drawer file cabinet with a tabletop surface, designed for accountants, teachers and tax pros. It uses dual support, with casters plus another feature, and costs $50 to $100.

Where it lands, seventh, comes down to the fact that it holds only two drawers' worth of files, yet it costs the same as larger carts. The tabletop surface and the dual support are good for a stable base while you work. The listing is truncated on how the support works, so confirm it before buying.

Buy it for a small mobile file station beside a desk. Skip it if you need a lot of storage.

Our verdict: A 100 percent metal three-tier cart at the low end of the price range.

The YASONIC is a 3-tier rolling cart made entirely of metal, which the listing calls sturdy and durable, with multiple uses and easy installation. It costs $25 to $50.

The last spot follows because the listing is thin on dimensions, weight limit and casters. Metal carts are strong and resist cracking, but they can rust in damp rooms and are heavier to move. At the floor of the price tier, it is the cart to choose when budget is the main rule.

Buy it for a basic, low-cost utility cart. Check the load limit and caster quality.
