I have Gladiators and really like them. You can find them on sale often at Sears, Lowes, etc. Check Sears Outlet stores if you have them nearby.

Would like to see more replies on this subject. I am also looking for some wall cabinets. I was between Gladiator or New Age

These things go on sale at Sears fairly frequently. You just missed them at $100 a piece with free shipping.:evil:

I love my NewAge ones from BJs.com. Plenty strong enough for what I need, inexpensive, and look really nice (even my wife commented how nice they look). I got the 3 wall cabinets, locker style cabinet, 2 base cabinets and the bamboo top for under $1k.

I just redid my garage in Gladiator and like it a lot. You'll want the cabs that are welded, not assemble yourself.

Also, if you go with Gladiator, I recommend that you pick it up at Sears and open it there to check for damage. I had about a 50% damage rate on the 30" cabinets and even one broken 8 ft gear wall track.

I have the 8 foot workbench, several 30" and 24" cabinets, a number of shelves, random hooks, and a lot of Gear Wall.

Shipping damage aside, it's good stuff and surprisingly cost-effective if you join Sears' Shop Your Way and wait for a big sale.

i found a set of heavy duty cabinets at a local office supply store will post photos shortly. I have a good buddy who is helping me this has morphed more into a total garage revamp. I will post photos shortly. we are planning on breaking down the cabinets and repainting them back then going to have my buddy who does vinyl do a set of shelby stripes i hope it will look classy. I think it will....

Lateral file cabinets and the overhead files like used in office cubicles.

Very strong, made to be loadd down with books and binders.
Paintable so you can go mild or wild.

Easily found on Craigslist for anywhere from free to $30 - $50 - $75

gladiator welded cabinets here, love them. So much better than the cheap saw dust cabinets.

I had wood cabinets for 10 years and they just wore out. Moisture from the winter just killed them. I bought some from Costco back in 2003 that were there high end line and 10 years later they look like new. Buy metal.

When I built my new shop I installed all Baldhead cabinets. Very expensive but they will out live me for sure.
