Know before you buy
Yes, the trolley arrives unassembled. While it can be put together by the user, we recommend following the included instructions carefully due to the delicate nature of the glass components.
The extra-clear glass wheels are fully functional and load-bearing. However, they are best suited for smooth surfaces like hardwood, tile, or low-pile rugs rather than thick carpeting.
The pull-out tray is crafted from black matt lacquered wood and is specifically designed to provide a stable, dedicated space for organizing bottles and glassware, keeping them secure while you serve.
To maintain the clarity of the glass, use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the frosted or clear glass finishes.
Yes, the Kart is engineered with structural integrity in mind. The glass wheels act as load-bearing elements, allowing the trolley to safely support standard bar necessities and drinkware.
Absolutely. While designed as a drinks trolley, its artistic, minimal aesthetic makes it a versatile piece for displaying books, decorative objects, or serving as a unique side table in a living room.
