Tips for Choosing the Best Spa Cart
Use these pointers to choose the best cart, tray or trolley for your spa:
- Evaluate your space: Grab your measuring tape and decide where the cart will live - make sure it won't overcrowd the treatment room
- Get staff input: Ask your estheticians which cart features and accessories matter most in their work day
- Invest in quality: You’ll replace your storage equipment less often, saving money in the long run
- Coordinate with decor: Choose a spa cart that complements your spa aesthetic to maintain a professional appearance
- Investigate the details: Learn about assembly, modifications, materials, and what customer reviews say
