I dont have one, but I looked at them one day and they look good to me!

WAY heavier duty than the price would suggest.

May have to go look, but I will wait until after Christmas. I avoid all stores like the plague until after then!

I have another one of their rolling toolboxes like that, probably have had it 2 years or more, very good for the price.

I've bought the red version of that one a few years ago. Works great, no issues, but I don't roll it around much.

Just get better drawer liners. The ones it comes with suck.

As long as you keep in mind, it's a bolted together tool cabinet of sheet metal, not a welded workbench, it should last you a good long time. One advantage to the bolted together construction is, you can replace things that fail such as drawer slides and wheels. I've got a similar roll around tool cabinet that I've had for thirty years.

I bought one a couple years ago - very good quality for the price, and perfect for my weekend workshop needs.
I got mine for under $200 on sale, I believe - maybe $159.
