I think it may be overpriced but there are not a lot of great roller work benches like this. I think one of the other good ones I saw was from Milwaukee and it is identically priced, but with less drawers so it's not out of its leage. I think my only gripe on these is they never seem quite deep enough but if you need to consolidate work space with storage and have a smaller place to work its probably a great solution. I was looking at one today and with the pegboard attachment it seemed like the top ran out of space pretty fast. I usually like my work benches to be about 3 feet deep if that gives you any perspective. I will admit that the adjustable height bench top does have some appeal though. I could see lining a wall with 2 or three of these though in the future. It would definitely give me a chance to consolidate my tools and ditch a seperate tool cabinet and service cart...

What I like about it is that it's made with 19 ga sheet and its 24" deep. The 62" husky has more storage space than the 72" us general and its $300 cheaper.

It is one of the better box store cabinets .
Price probably not best it been and you also pay more because of adjustable height top so be sure you want that feature .
The did have a 61" with same material specs but cabinet with shelves rather all drawers and that was 600bucks or under, can't see that one currently, only have it with pegboard back panel and that same money as your 62" ,

the pegboard backed 62" is 21ga. The adjustable top 62" is 19 ga. They must have a typo because the 21ga Husky 62" states 21,707 CI but the 19ga Husky 62" states 31,721. Unless the tray under the adjustable top really adds that much room.

I was referring to the 61" with pegboard which 19gauge I believe .

Did do version of this box without pegboard and it been under 600bucks on sale .

Do you think the 4 additional drawers are worth $200? That's how I'm looking at it I guess as the cabinet would be a lot of wasted space. Also the 10 drawer top drawer only has one set of slides on it which is the biggest drawer on the box.

cabinet can be useful pending on items you storing .
If you have no need for full length drawer then your 62" good option .
I thought the long drawer had double slides, has a centre slide on base of drawer .
At end of day drawer layout for your needs is important and worth some cost .
I quite like these boxes but at best deal prices to feel real happy with purchase .

I like the price of the 10 drawer + cabinet. I'm trying to convince myself that I could organize everything the way I want to with those 10 drawers but I'm having a hard time thinking about it with my OCD.

I have the pegboard ~60" Husky workbench. Been awesome for he past 8 months or so owning it. It was on sale for 598 too. It's 19G steel and has a center slide down the middle of the top drawer. If I could change two things it'd be to have double slides on the top drawer (although it works fine) and to replace the side cabinet with drawers. Other than that I really like it.

The new 62" you've posted seems nice but way too many small drawers for me. They have a new 72" and the layout on that looks awesome. If that one was available when I was box shopping I definitely would've went with it over the 60".

This series of Husky boxes are really nice for the money. If the layout works for you I'd say go for it. Maybe check eBay for a 10%+ off coupon.

Looking at the reviews, I would say that it is the perfect box!
