Excellent idea....I'm going to build something like this.I got tired of my Akro-Mils drawer cabinets taking up so much horizontal shelf space, and ending up with a pile of **** accumulating in front of them (as flat surfaces tend to do in a garage).
So I finally got off my *** and bought some plywood last fall. Been meaning to share these and kept forgetting.
Now all four cabinets take up the shelf space that just one (well, 1.5) took up previously, and there's no ledge for me to pile **** onto. When I need access, I just slide out the relevant cabinet.
The box fits super tight into the gorilla rack (ahem, sorry, Xtreme garage shelving), tighter than I would have liked because I got in a hurry and didn't get the dividers cut perfect.
I need to organize things more, and bust out the label maker and label the ends, once I establish some sense of order, But I've been too busy with my paying job to really spend a lot of time doing anything else in the garage (which shows, because its a disaster).
were I doing it over again, I would probably have used some corner braces or some scrap cut into triangles to attach a proper face to each panel.
since I used full extension but not over-extension drawers, and didn't have spare room to recess the chests enough to cut handles directly into the panels, I had to get creative with handles too, as you can see:

A couple of screws act as stoppers and the L-brace just articulates on one screw.
Thanks!
