I agree that drawers are very useful around a MIG welder. I bought a small drawer unit intended to go between seats in a van as part of commercial van shelving. I designed my small MIG cart around it. I keep tips, nozzles, soapstones, nozzle reamers, hand wire brushes, small tri-square, center punch, small sharp chisel (for spatter removal), rolls of wire, spare welding gloves, chipping hammers and more in mine. But mine has a shallow drawer on top - you don't need a deep drawer for tips or nozzles - and it's a high quality unit with ball bearing slides. I paid $60 for it used. The rest of the cart I built with stuff I had lying around my shop. It's sized for a small welder like the one shown on the HF cart (although mine is a Lincoln SP-175).
Mine also has a T-frame behind the tank, which the chain attaches to, and it has a strong handle at the other end of the cart, designed so I can wind up the leads neatly on it. The T-frame and handle work together also, as two guys can easily pick up the whole cart and carry it up flights of stairs. That's a key feature for any fabricator who has to work on steel stairways. It's completely lacking on the Chinese design shown.
I don't have any comment on the price except to say I wouldn't ever pay anything like that. The little blue HF MIG carts for $39 are a reasonable deal to get started with but you have to treat them like a kit. The casters are junk and need replacing, and you have to build a spacer to hold the tank far enough away from the cart deck to allow the gas hose to come out of the back of the welder (duh). But once you've done those things they're a reasonable thing to get you going.
Build your own MIG cart. Find a top quality small drawer unit if you want drawers.
