ManiacQuilter2 - Hi! Actually, Walmart doesn't sell anything similar to these carts. They have rolling laundry carts and things like that, but nothing with the high sides so stuff doesn't fall out.
I forgot to mention that the Ikea Raskog cart also comes in beige or dark gray (in addition to the pretty turquoise). Just in case the blue doesn't match your sewing room décor.
Here's a link to Ikea:

And here's the Target one (this is the gray, it also comes in white):

Thanks for the side-by-side review!
I have the turquoise Ikea cart too, I use it for all my ironing stuff. I love it! It probably gets more compliments and jealous looks than any other piece of "furniture" in my sewing room.

-I replaced the bolts on one I got at Walmarts with longer bolts with metal caps -caps are just a fancy nut. No more loose or lost bolts. Mine started out black but a can of Teal Rustoleum spray paint made it so much prettier.

Great review! I have wanted one of those Ikea carts for a long while, but have managed to talk myself out of it. In reality, it won't work for what I want it for, but it's so dang cute! I also saw one recently at Sam's Club - I don't know if it's closer to the Ikea cart of the Target cart, but I seem to remember it being the same teal color as the Ikea cart. I also don't remember the price. I know, I'm Very helpful!
