I am replacing my shelving with cabinets. Looking for 36 or 48" wide by 24" deep full height.
I see these at Lowes for about $500 for 36".
I don't need super heavy duty stuff. This is just to store stuff that doesn't weigh or get used all that much.
I'm trying to keep the cost down because I'm probably selling the house in the next 3-4 years.
Any recommendations for decent quality inexpensive cabinets?

I love how they mention 'heavy-duty steel construction' everywhere, but fail to mention the gauge of metal used.
I'd be concerned with that. 24 gauge? 26 gauge?

Agreed. Some do some don't. Almost everything is online so you can't check it yourself. That's why I'm hoping for someone here that already has them.

Take a look at Harbor Freight's Yukon cabinets. I just bought my 2nd one. I'm not only impressed with how sturdy they are, but I suspect it was a talented German engineer who designed these cabinets. When you assemble this thing, you'll have it 3/4ths of the way built before you put in the first screw, and then there's only maybe a dozen of them. Most of the panels interlock in a really sensible way, almost eliminating any hardware.

I just realized it's only 18" deep so that might not work for you.

Thanks. Didn't think of them. There's a store nearby. I can go look at them.
