The 10 Best Multimedia Carts

Editor's Notes

May 01, 2020:

Although there are many use-specific varieties, those looking for models that fit the most traditional definition of a multimedia cart will want to focus on the Pearington AV Cart, Line Leader AV Cart, and Norwood Commercial Furniture Utility Cart. These devices all feature integrated power strips, robust lockable casters, and durable constructions that offer a high weight capacity. The benefit of these models is that they can be used for many different tasks, although they do tend to come at a high price. For those who want something that can be used for years on end and will handle almost anything you can throw at it, it's hard to go wrong with any of these choices.

One of the most common uses for these carts is mobile presentation, and while the aforementioned traditional models handle this job well enough, it might be worth looking at a more purpose-built model if you plan on using your cart for this task exclusively. For instance, the Oklahoma Sound PRC200 and Yaheetech Mobile Stand are geared specifically towards presentation, and offer a few benefits over multipurpose selections. The Oklahoma Sound model's podium-like design and large adjustable tray make it perfect for holding a projector and a laptop simultaneously. The Yaheetech is particularly useful for those who want to be able to present media in any room, since its usage of a large TV negates the need for built-in displays or projector screens in any given space.

For those who find that their budget doesn't accommodate purpose built AV carts, there are also several general purpose carts that will function just as well for many of the same tasks. The Luxor STC222, AmazonBasics 3-Tier Cart, and Honey-Can-Do Portable are all perfectly adequate for holding printers or transporting laptops, but they don't come with advanced features like built-in power strips and tend to have lower weight capacities.
