I need wall cabinets to cover 168 inches of wall space in a new construction garage.
I did a search but didn't come up with too much. Some of the guys have used other purpose (filing) cabinets and someone suggested those from Harbor Freight but stated they were of poor construction. I would like these cabinest to hold auto parts with a max of 200 pounds (?) each.
I have been to Home Depot, Sears and Lowes to look at their cabinets. The best looking were Sears Gladiator series ($239.00) and Home Depot Husky ($117.00). Both are made of metal. Black and Decker makes a wood unit but I don't think it would hold the weight over time.
I need six of them to cover the wall. This would get expensive!

Any suggestions for a cheaper but strong and visually appealing remedy? Thanks guys!

I have six of the HF cabinets hanging. They can and some still do hold 18 full one gallon paint cans each counting 6 sitting on top. I don't know how much a paint can weighs but 18 has to be considerable. They are not pretty cabinets but very functional. A pain in the *** to assemble.

I just looked at the HD Husky cabinets and noticed that the doors are not zero clearance so you have to allow space between cabinets to allow the doors to open.

Thank you! Good call as I would have been a bit upset if I bought these and mounted them too close to each other! I am planning on mounting them in a row.

Thanks all for the replys!
