Excel 26" Tool Chest and Roller Cabinet Combo

What are your thought on this combo? I work down the street from this place and they sell open box items deeply discounted.

Costco has it listed for $519

They're selling it for $280

The bottom 2 drawers on the roller are double sliders, so they can hold pretty heavy things. Looks like a very good deal for 280

In my opinion & experience, Excel can be pretty "hit or miss" with their box/chest combos as well as their carts. Their cantilever boxes, awesome! An occasional service cart is great as well...but I've also run across some service carts that wouldn't survive under a stack of cotton balls. I've got a friend who has a 26" set-up and it's a major POS...but then again, there's a guy I somewhat know & go to school with who just bought a 26" top box & middle box and it's light years ahead of the other 26" box I've seen.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll go check it out since they're just down the street.

So did you ever decide on purchasing this box?

Decided to wait. Went and checked out what they had on hand, but they're inventory was kind of jacked. I'll probably go some other time to see if they have anything with less damage. So obviously the photos in their CL ad was not what they had in their warehouse. However, they did have plenty of items deeply discounted. Just not what I was looking for.
