would make a killer TV stand, though. . . . . .
if you decor goes in this direction. when i was single, i had metro shelves in the house. they aint there anymore. . . . . . but i still think it would make a killer TV stand. could store the kid's video games and stuff in the drawers . . . . . . . .

50Lb drawers doesn't seem right for a 41" drawer... Even so... I wish I had a 41 inch drawer since my homeowner craftsman box cant hold all my poking and prodding bits in one drawer. If I didn't have said box I would probably be on that already.
That recommendation is for watching TV while sitting up straight with proper posture. Who does that? I like to lean back in my recliner, put my feet up, and get comfy.
Reality is it depends on how you sit and how far away from the screen. I wall mounted my TV above the Fireplace, the center of the 55" screen is close to 6' high which makes it perfect for either watching while standing, or while reclined back in my comfy chair about 12 feet from the screen with my feet up and a cold drink in my hand. So it is perfect for me, and i really don't care if anyone else is comfortable while they are watching my TV. Higher is also better for a busy room (think restaurant or bar) where people may be walking in front of you, If the screen is up high you can look over them.

I image you'd take the castors off too

i wouldn't, but i liked the metro shelves, so we know that all my taste is in my mouth.
Your first sentence agrees with me. That is all I was saying.
I don't see people using this box in bar or above a fireplace.
I have a TV above fireplace it is what it is, great viewing while eating at the tall kitchen table.
mine is set up just like this, but, when reclining in chair, most times, I have to watch by moving my feet.....I wish my TV was about at least a foot higher

Might be ok looks like it would enjoy a caster upgrade.

I have thought about picking up a couple of these and mounting them under a fabricated up work-bench/welding table. Would come in handy for all the little b.s. parts and supplies I have floating around my garage.
Definitely a nice way to organize other parts / tools, etc.
I was considering the same thing!

Thanks for posting this. I just ordered one for my kids room. Working on a conversion from somewhat girly (we didn't know if he was going to be a boy or a girl) nursery to boys room with car theme. Building a Jeep bed. I found a traffic light lamp and have some street signs for wall decor.

Makes for a great box for a general service technician starting out. Not a bad pick for at home use. Anything beyond that, it's about as easy to break into as a wooden door.
Some big down sides for me would be having my sockets only fit in the lower half, especially the deeps. Constantly bending over for items that I use in almost every job throughout the day would get old.
I do have experience with husky boxes. For use around the home...STELLAR! For use in a shop as a lube tech, not bad unless you have all snap on tools with a high value and a shop full of wolves. It's all relative to your situation.
I was at Home Depot the other day pounding on the draws on this model. Pretty sturdy!
