IKEA Is Quietly Discontinuing This Rattan Storage Cart (It’s a Fan “Favorite”!)
As IKEA rolls out its latest collection of patio furniture, storage, and decor for summer, it’s making room for all its new arrivals by quietly getting rid of tried-and-true customer favorites. The latest fan-loved find to get the chop? A trendy rattan small-space storage cart that you can easily roll around your home while imbuing any room with Hamptons charm.
While it’s shockingly been added to the “last chance to buy” list, IKEA’s LUBBAN Serving Cart with Storage has hundreds of reviews from happy buyers lauding the “gorgeous accent” piece that’s also a “great value” at $99.99.
Why the IKEA LUBBAN Serving Cart Is a Storage Superhero
I love and own many of IKEA’s rolling carts for their storage and portability, but the “stunning” LUBBAN style stands out because of its popular rattan weave design, surprisingly roomy storage capabilities, and its ability to effortlessly move from one room to the next without you needing to break a sweat.
Although it’s designated as a serving cart, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Measuring 26 inches in height, 19 5/8 inches in width, and 19 5/8 inches in length, the LUBBAN is also a rolling cart that features two golden wicker baskets held in place by black steel rods that form two rattan-covered handles.
The smaller top basket can hold up to 11 pounds, while the bottom can hold 22, and the deep trays make the rolling cart versatile for so many different things in your home. It’s the perfect place to set up your own coffee nook or matcha station in the kitchen, or use as a spot to hold cleaning supplies that you’ll wheel around your home.
It can be a cute-yet-compact mini bar with gorgeous espresso martini glasses displayed on top, or a rolling pantry addition for wines that you can bring out with a charcuterie board whenever you have people over. It would also work as a small table to put remotes, knickknacks, books, and a lamp in your living room or office or as a bedside table in the bedroom. Other IKEA shoppers mentioned using it as a toy storage for their pets, a carry-all for a child’s toys, or even a water filter stand.
Whether you need a rolling cart for your patio or a coastal storage option for your bathroom towels and soaps, the LUBBAN has you covered. So it’s not surprising that one happy buyer called the bestseller probably their “favorite purchase ever from IKEA.”
Where to Find a Similar Rattan Serving Cart if You Can’t Get to IKEA
Unfortunately, IKEA’s last chance to buy products are only available while supplies last, so you can check to see if there are still LUBBAN carts that you can purchase. Otherwise, Wayfair is selling a near-identical option with the same rattan weave, black hardware, and rolling wheels — and it’s on sale for $84.99 right now.
The Beachcrest Home Daniella Metal Bar Cart is slightly taller yet skinnier than the IKEA version at 26.64 inches in height, 18.11 inches in width, and 18.7 inches in length. However, it has pretty much the same appearance and ends up being cheaper than the LUBBAN if you purchase it right now.
