| Cart | The problem it solves | Best for | Downside |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slim gap cart (12-15 cm) | The dead slot beside fridge or counter | Bottles, jars, cans in tight kitchens | Narrow items only; tips if overloaded |
| Worktop cart (butcher block / stainless) | Not enough counter | Prep space that wheels away | Heavy; needs locking casters |
| Three-tier utility cart | Produce and tools with no home | Open storage, moves to the action | Not a work surface; contents on display |
| Appliance cart (sliding shelf) | Rice cooker and kettle steam | Homes without a built-in appliance nook | Single-purpose footprint |

A cart solves exactly one of three problems — a dead gap between counter and fridge, no counter space, or nowhere to put the rice cooker and kettle. Name your problem first; each one points at a different cart.
