The ones I have seen in the lowes by me are horrible. The draws are supper shallow and a pain to open and close. They look really nice but the draw stick is sooo bad.
I bought one of these yesterday. I agree about the sticky drawers. The factory grease on the slides was pretty gummy. Wiping them off, and giving them, and the rubber detent snubbers a squirt of WD-40 smoothed things out significantly.
I don't agree about he drawer depth, at least on the bottom box. Actually drawer depth on this box is one of the things that attracted me to it. Three of the drawers measure 2.5", two are 3.5", and the bottom is 9.5".
A couple of drawers in the 5" range would be nice, but these are deeper than drawers on many boxes in this price range, and the extra deep bottom drawer is very useful. The box is 35" wide, and all the drawers are full length. The full length drawers is one of the things that really made this box attractive to me, and few boxes in this price catagory offer drawers this wide. This gives a lot of storage in a compact footprint. Some of this is subjective, it really depends on how you like to set your boxes up, but I prefer this to a wider box with split drawers.
Build quality seems pretty good. The steel is folded on the side and rear drawer edges, and there are 3 clips a side for the slide attachment, so the drawers are pretty rigid. The bottom drawer also has two slides per side. The slides look pretty much like everyone elses at this price, except they're black, the welds are clean and ground smooth, the drawer liners are as good as any you can buy, and for what it's worth, theres a cover. Overall fit and finish is very acceptable, I don't see any uneven gaps or anything visually out of square. The built in power strip is handy, and subjectively, I like the color.
On the downside, The drawer pull end caps are plastic, and tend to fall off when wiping the box down. Spares are provided, that seem to aknowledge a defficiency. I super glued mine on, so....we'll see.
The top is recessed for a 3/8" thick foam pad insert, it seems that a solid insert would be a lot more functional as a work surface if the top cabinet is not used, as in my case.
I think this box is going to be a keeper, but it's nice to know that Lowes has a pretty liberal return if It doesn't work out. I haven't seen anything I like better that isn't more money, but I'll keep my eyes open.
