Toyo Steel TWR-4 Three-Tier Rolling Steel Cart

Toyo Steel’s three-tier rolling cart: seamless pressed-steel trays that will not leak, in red, white or black; made in Japan.

The TWR-4 brings Toyo’s pressed-steel craft to a rolling cart. Each tray is formed from a single piece of steel, so there are no seams to leak water, oil or anything else, and every edge is smooth and rounded. A shallow top tray organizes small items, while the spacious middle and bottom shelves take bigger things. The cart measures L 12.5 × W 23 × H 33 in and weighs 21 lb. One person can assemble it in 45 minutes to an hour with the included board spanner; the support pipes are made to exact tolerances, so they fit tightly and may pick up small white marks as they go in. The gloss paint has no clear topcoat and will gain patina with use.

Why we carry it

We’ve been curating design-led pieces since 2009, and Japanese craft objects like this one earn their place by being used every day. Toyo Steel has made steel toolboxes in Japan since 1969. Its boxes were designed for workshops, garages and factories, but their clean lines and colors have made them design classics at home, where they hold art supplies, make-up, medicine, snacks or tea as easily as tools.

Buy once: durability and care

Wipe with a soft cloth. The steel is painted for workshop use and has no clear topcoat, so chips and scratches from use become patina. During assembly the tight-fitting support pipes can pick up small white abrasion marks; that is normal.
