Abstract: A cart onto which items can be deposited and transported includes a plurality of legs, and a plurality of vertically spaced shelves supported by the legs. Each leg is formed by a plurality of interconnected leg pieces. Each leg includes a plurality of vertically spaced support arms projecting laterally. Each support arm constitutes part of a nodal piece which is inserted between adjacent leg pieces to interconnect such leg pieces. A plurality of vertically spaced shelves are supported by the legs. Each shelf has its underside seated on the free ends of the support arms. Each shelf extends outwardly past those free ends, and the outer peripheral edge of each shelf is recessed to accommodate the leg pieces.
