A wheeled cart is easily disassembled and folded into a compact carrying case. A rectangular base receives four poles at its corners. Cross bars across the top of the poles each carry a pair of top and bottom panels which form the sides of the cart. Each of the bottom panels is preferably hinged to the bottom of its respective stationary top panel so that the bottom panel may be hinged upwardly to gain access to the bottom of the cart. A top most horizontal lid is detachably affixed to the poles at each of their top ends, said base, sides and lid defining a substantially enclosed volume for containing transported articles. In its disassembled, compacted form, the cart stores the detachable poles, cross bars, and panels.
