Anyone have the Gramercy rolling cart from Michaels?

Anyone have the Garmercy cart from Michaels? With the pegboard and all that extra jazz? Worth it? Photos would be great! We have a school room/playroom, but my husband is working from home now in the very next room, so we are trying to work in the dining room instead. A cart would let me move stuff back and forth more easily I think. https://www.michaels.com/gramercy-rolling-cart-by-recollections/10555396.html

I'm also wondering if something like that would work to hold my sewing machine, supplies, etc. Need to measure the sewing machine....or maybe get one, see if it is overkill for the homeschool stuff, and if so steal it for the sewing stuff, lol.

I have the similar version from Ikea but this one from Michaels is great with the hooks and pegboard. I would absolutely get it for my craft room.

fwiw, I have found that I don't like open carts for either crafting supplies or office supplies. They tend to look messy, nothing is protected from the kids, and the supplies are far more likely to get dirty. That's my experience as someone who has way too many pets; your house may be far cleaner than mine in general, lol, or your kids and pets might be more willing to not play with your stuff. You sew, so you could probably make a cover for it fairly easily. I still prefer closed drawers or boxes, because my cats have very poor manners. 

It looks like that cart has flat bottoms, rather than the slight curve that is so common, so it might work to put a sewing machine on the top tier. You'd have to check the weight of your sewing machine also  (20 lbs max per tray for this cart).

At this point, I ned a place to put supplies the kids ARE allowed to get into. The pets will leave it alone. right now most of the stuff that would go on there is on open shelves, or on a low table in the entryway.

I have an ikea cart like that and I like it.  We don't use it for home school but it certainly could work well.
