Planning a Fourth of July party? Perhaps it’s time to roll out a new look. We selected some bar carts for a range of tastes and budgets. First up: Vagoon from El Salvador-based Kiu Interiors.

We first saw Vagoon this spring at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York. The red top can flip over for use as a serving tray, and despite the playful look, the design has some heft to it — about 29 pounds. Price: $272 plus shipping, which varies depending on your location. Kiu doesn’t have any U.S. retailers for Vagoon at the moment. Contact the firm through its website.

Six more bar carts after the jump, including Vladimir Kagan, Espasso, West Elm and CB2 ...

CORRECTED: An earlier version of this post incorrectly said the Circa cart was $3,010 at Duet Interior Collections. We have slapped ourselves -- hard, twice -- for the typo.
