1. FATORRI Bar Cart with Wheels, Wine & Liquor Cart for Home — Middle listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 14.17″ D × 35.43″ W × 36.02″ H; item weight 31.3 pounds; listed maximum weight 150 pounds; material Engineered Wood, Metal; frame Metal; color Rustic Oak.

The FATORRI is a 3-shelf rolling bar cart with metal rails wrapped around each shelf to stop bottles from sliding. It is listed at 14.17 inches deep by 35.43 inches wide by 36.02 inches high, with the handle included, or 3.49 sq ft. The finish is Rustic Oak, the frame is metal and the shelves are engineered wood. The listing states a 150 pound maximum recommendation and an item weight of 31.3 pounds. A bullet says there are 13.5 inches between the middle and bottom shelf, which suits tall bottles. It lists about 30 minutes to assemble, with tools included.

Pros

• 13.5 inches between the middle and bottom shelves, stated in the listing
• Rails around each shelf to keep bottles in place
• Narrowest depth of the three at 14.17 inches, and assembly tools included

Cons

• Maximum recommendation of 150 pounds is half of the Rustic Bar Cart’s 300 pounds
• The 36.02 inch height includes the handle
• Heaviest of the group’s stated carts at 31.3 pounds versus 27.2 pounds

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick it if you want a plain three-shelf cart with a stated bottle gap. Skip it if you want a glass rack or covered storage.

2. Hencawima Coffee Bar Cabinet, 3 Tier Coffee Station Table on Wheels, 35.9″ H Bar Cart with Wire Basket Drawer & 5 Hooks for Home Kitchen, Liquor Buffet Sideboard Cabinet (Rustic Brown) — Smallest listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 15″ D × 23.7″ W × 35.9″ H; material Metal; frame Carbon Steel; color Rustic Brown.

The Hencawima is the least like a liquor cart: it is a 3-tier coffee bar cabinet with a cabinet of 2 doors and a pull-out wire basket. It measures 15 inches deep by 23.7 inches wide by 35.9 inches high, listed as 2.47 sq ft, the smallest here, in Rustic Brown. The frame is carbon steel on 4 castors, 2 of which have brakes. Bullets say the top has fences and the middle layer is wire mesh to stop items falling, and that the top holds coffee makers up to 23.7 inches. No weight capacity or item weight is given.

Pros

• Smallest footprint at 2.47 sq ft (15 x 23.7 inches)
• A 2-door cabinet gives closed storage, with a pull-out wire basket
• 4 castors, 2 with brakes, so the cart can be locked in place

Cons

• Sold as a coffee station, so it holds bottles less naturally than a rail-lined cart
• No weight capacity or weight is stated
• The specs list ‘2, 5’ drawers, which does not match the doors and basket described

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick it if you want closed storage and a small footprint and will use it as a coffee-and-bar station. Skip it if you want an open cart for bottles and glasses.

3. Rustic Bar Cart, 3 Tier Rolling Bar Carts for The Home, Industrial Home Serving Cart with Wine Glass Holder, Wood Metal Liquor Trolley, Mobile Beverage and Drink Carts (Walnut Brown) — Largest listed footprint

A bullet gives the size as 16.81 x 36.22 x 35.9 inches with the handle, a little different from the specs. It has a handle, four wheels that rotate, and assembly hardware and instructions are included.

Pros

• Stemware rack and wine glass holder are listed, which the other carts lack
• Lighter than the FATORRI at 27.2 pounds, and has four rotating wheels

• The listing gives 35.43 x 36.06 inches in the specs and 36.22 x 35.9 inches in a bullet
• Shelves are MDF board, and the data does not state a gap between shelves

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick it if you want a glass rack and the highest stated load. Skip it if the depth is a problem.

What to check before buying liquor cart

First decide whether you want an open cart or a cabinet. The FATORRI and Rustic Bar Cart are open three-shelf carts with rails, while the Hencawima is a coffee bar cabinet with doors and a wire basket. For bottles and glasses on display, the first two are the closer match to a liquor cart. Second, measure the footprint. The Hencawima is 15 by 23.7 inches (2.47 sq ft), the FATORRI 14.17 by 35.43 inches (3.49 sq ft) and the Rustic Bar Cart 16.81 by 35.43 inches (4.14 sq ft). The difference between the largest and smallest is 4.14 – 2.47 = 1.67 sq ft. All three are about 36 inches tall. Check the Rustic Bar Cart size, which the listing gives as 36.22 inches wide in a bullet. Third, load. The Rustic Bar Cart states 300 pounds, the FATORRI 150 pounds, and the Hencawima none. A full set of glass bottles is heavy, so favor a stated figure. Fourth, glassware. Only the Rustic Bar Cart lists a stemware rack and wine glass holder. The FATORRI lists rails and a 13.5 inch gap for tall bottles. Fifth, mobility. The Hencawima has 4 castors with 2 brakes, and the Rustic Bar Cart has four rotating wheels. The FATORRI is described as a cart with wheels.

Worked example: fit math for these three options

This worked example is our own planning arithmetic from the listed dimensions, not test results. The wall length and walkway width are assumed example values; replace them with your measurements.

Wall example. Assume 48 inches of clear wall.

• FATORRI Bar Cart with Wheels: 48 − 35.43 = 12.57 inches spare; centred, 6.29 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• Hencawima Coffee Bar Cabinet: 48 − 23.7 = 24.3 inches spare; centred, 12.15 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• Rustic Bar Cart: 48 − 35.43 = 12.57 inches spare; centred, 6.29 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.

Walkway example. The US Access Board gives 36 inches as the minimum clear width for an accessible route. That figure is a yardstick, not a rule for private homes. To keep 36 inches clear beside each product, the walkway between it and the opposite obstacle must be at least 36 inches plus its depth:

• FATORRI Bar Cart with Wheels: 36 + 14.17 = 50.17 inches of total path width.
• Hencawima Coffee Bar Cabinet: 36 + 15 = 51 inches of total path width.
• Rustic Bar Cart: 36 + 16.81 = 52.81 inches of total path width.

Footprint. Depth × width, converted at 144 square inches per square foot:

• FATORRI Bar Cart with Wheels: 14.17 × 35.43 = 502.04 sq in, or 3.49 sq ft.
• Hencawima Coffee Bar Cabinet: 15 × 23.7 = 355.5 sq in, or 2.47 sq ft.
• Rustic Bar Cart: 16.81 × 35.43 = 595.58 sq in, or 4.14 sq ft.

Mistakes to avoid

• Treating a coffee cabinet as a liquor cart. The Hencawima is sold as a coffee station with doors and a wire basket.
• Skipping the bottle gap. The FATORRI states 13.5 inches between the middle and bottom shelf. The others do not state shelf gaps.
• Ignoring the handle in the height. The FATORRI and Rustic Bar Cart dimensions are quoted with the handle.
• Loading glass without a limit. The Hencawima states no weight capacity, and the FATORRI is rated at 150 pounds.
