This $98 storage island is like adding extra countertops to your kitchen: 'Now I have lots of counter space'

Countertops are doing a lot of work for us these days. Not only are they essential for, well, food prep and cooking, but they tend to be where we store our everyday large appliances like microwaves and coffee makers. Add to it all of the other fancy appliances that make cooking even faster and easier — think your air fryer and Instant Pot, to name a few— and you have very little counter space left for actually chopping vegetables and making dinner each night.

If you feel like your kitchen could do with a few extra countertops and cabinets, we've found a deal at Walmart that might be the solution to all of your problems — without the need for a full kitchen renovation. This stylish rolling kitchen storage island, usually $270, is on clearance at Walmart for just $98.

Rolling Kitchen Storage Cart Island

This rolling storage island is like adding three extra shelves to your kitchen. 

$98 at Walmart

This storage cart is like adding three extra cabinets to your kitchen — instantly. Each of the three shelves holds up to 88 pounds, making them ideal for storing bulky items, while the 10 hooks on the sides display cooking utensils, kitchen towels, coffee mugs or whatever else you need to keep within arm's reach. The baker's rack at the back keeps items on the shelves securely in place without falling out. Lock the wheels to keep the cart in place, or unlock them whenever you want to move it around.

Use it in the kitchen to store bulky appliances like your microwave, Crock Pot and blender, or turn the entire island into dedicated coffee and tea corner. Use the top to display a fruit bowl, flowers, photos, a lamp or more while the bottom shelves do the hard work of hiding kitchen clutter.

But don't feel limited in the kitchen with it — of the more than 500 customer reviews, many of them shared the clever ways they're using this rolling island in their homes.

"I purchased this to use in my bathroom for towels and and storage baskets," said one reviewer. "Its great in small bathrooms."

Another reviewer said: "I use this in my laundry room as a folding table and it's working out nicely. The shelves below hold my laundry detergents, dryer balls, fabric softener, stain remover, etc. I like that it's on wheels so I can easily move it to dust and clean behind it."

Of course, the most obvious place for a storage island with this much versatility is in the kitchen, where it can ease the work your countertops are already doing for you.

"Perfect for my kitchen area," said another reviewer. "I have all my small appliances on it to give extra space on my countertops."

A bit of advice for those who don't like having all of their kitchen clutter on display: Try out this tension rod curtain hack for the lower shelves so you can squirrel away even more clutter — and get a pop of color in the kitchen with a fun patterned fabric.
