    NewAge Cabinets reviews and tips

    Sorry to hear about the bad experience with the Bold cabinets. I found a guy with a Lamborghini and a Porsche who had proudly posted his Pro series on Reddit and he made a point of telling me not to get the Bold. I’m super happy with my Pro series. I’ve posted on a separate thread, but if...

    Should I get a Craftsman Bottom Cabinet?

    I’ve got another rolling cabinet with four swivels and I’ve put four swivels on a 2’ x 8’ planter on my deck. It’s a lot easier to maneuver in tight spaces with four swivels. Sent from my iPad using The Garage Journal mobile app

    NewAge Cabinets reviews and tips

    There are no white gloves, but the guys will deliver the cabinets to you and take off most of the cardboard. In my case they left the pallets, which they weren’t supposed to, but I have a place I can use them, so that’s fine. They did *not* unpack anything from inside the cabinets. You’d have...

    Best slatwall accessory source?

    That’s a big help. Now I just have to find something in north Jersey.

    Best slatwall accessory source?

    So I have some NewAge slatwall with my new cabinets. I got one accessory kit but I have two runs, which means that won’t be enough. My hardware store and Lowe’s has nothing and I bought some Akro Mills bins on Amazon that didn’t fit at all. Where can I find slatwall accessories that I can buy...

    Should I get a Craftsman Bottom Cabinet?

    I got it. Some points. No drawer liners? How lame. Two swiveling casters, two not. I thought that would be worse than it is, but it's something to be aware of. The power strip with built in USB is great. I wonder what it'll be like dealing with the cord when dragging that thing around. I'd...

    NewAge Cabinets reviews and tips

    Yes. Caveat. I bought on Cyber Monday, but yes, the rep gave me a fantastic deal in my eyes. I can't say how much the 7 piece set was on Cyber Monday, but this is what I paid for. Note also the huge cost reductions because I purchased the other items at the same time. Sorry, I tried hard to...

    NewAge Cabinets reviews and tips

    So speaking of slatwall… But before that, we installed the first of the two lofts today. It's really nice, although the one disappointment was the crosspiece supports which should have been made of two pieces crossing in the middle but were made of four pieces (why? why?). Whatever, it's up...

    NewAge Cabinets reviews and tips

    Oof, I tried to post this before and got a notice that the message is too short and then lost it (second time that has happened here). Ok, I ordered a bunch of Akro-Mills bins for my NewAge slatwall from Amazon and they didn't fit at all and now have to go back. Is there a good third-party...

    Should I get a Craftsman Bottom Cabinet?

    Hi everyone, I just installed a bunch of NewAge cabinets and made a first stab at documenting that here. Here's a photo (things are by no means done). So now my question to all of you. One of the next steps is to get a cabinet that can fit under the countertop on the right that I can roll...

    NewAge Cabinets reviews and tips

    Hi everyone, I got my NewAge Cabinets on Monday. I didn't know about garagejournal earlier and since I ordered on Cyber Monday of 2020, Dirty was out of the market by then. I'd heard about the cabinets from the garageporn subreddit. I wrote a couple of guys with Lamborginis and Porsches...

    Best Technology to Control Lighting in a Detached Garage

    I recommend Lutron Caseta over Leviton Decora Smart (WiFI) switches even though Lutron requires an extra hub. I warn you though, once you install a couple, you may redo your whole house as I did. I recently installed driveway heating mats from Warmly Yours and I opted to have them controlled by...

    Greetings from Montclair, New Jersey

    I have a garage, I live in Montclair, New Jersey. But there's more, I am waiting on a delivery of NewAge Pro cabinets and then we are going to do some work on the garage. It's not going to be miraculous, you won't be able to eat a feast on the floor of the garage, but it's going to be a lot...
