Better than expected but not as good as it should be for the price
I managed to pic up two different versions of these cabinets on offer before buying this one. The offer only reduced the price of the cabinets by around 20-30% but the shipping was free, which meant I felt they were worth a punt.
I was pleasantly surprised as they were made of sturdier steel than the reviews I’d read led me to believe. They are a reasonable weight for their size and they seem strong enough to stay in one piece and work when the draws are full to overflowing.
The fact that it has no roller bearings on the draws is a bit of a downside but I think you’d really have to try to out too much weight in there for the draws not to work as they should.
For me the main issue is the price but to be fair that is generally high due to shipping and import duty rather than the actual cabinet cost. The fact is though, if you have the space, a rolling shallow draw tool cabinet set up with dividers will store way more at a fraction of the cost.
This stacks with the vintage Huot cabinets I already have - the only difference between the older cabinets and this is that there's labels on the drawers instead of having the sizes stamped in the metal.
Good capacity, built to be pretty durable in shop usage.
