Yes, I purhased one early in the spring. Really like it. The only thing,it took me most of one day to put it together. Really after thinking about it, I think it was a little longer. I started early one afternoon & worked to well after dark. And it took most of the next day. Of course, I had to disassembe part of what I had put together because I had misread instructins. Anyway, there are a blue million pieces. I have 2 4-drawer extension cabinets plus 2 10-dawer cabinets sitting on top. I would post pics, but its really a mess right now. In the middle of a move.

My Wife just got me that for my new garage..

It took me a solid 3.5 hours and 2 beers to put together, not using a powered screw driver...
so far, i like it, I got it into place tonight...

My only complaint so far is the the drawer bottoms do no actually screw into the drawer face, so there is some flex when you pull the drawer out off the friction catches...

But besides that, the ball bearing drawers are smooth, it looks great next to the also new Seville Classics Workbench she also got me...

and I now have 12' of work surface.

I was just checking those out at Sams, they seem a little flimsy for my use...

+1. The display at my Sams had drawer front coming off and was generally lloking a little sad. Doesn't seem to be a good sign to me considering it's never had anything in it or been used other than the tire kickers at Sams.

There's a big difference in assembly quality between the guy at Sam's whipping it together to put it out on the floor and you or I putting it together correctly for use in the garage. Never judge something based on it assembled and sitting on a store floor for display.

Mine has lots of weight in some of the drawers - milling vices, drill sets, chucks, etc. Big lower left drawer had nearly 100 lbs of scrap steel and misc in it. Had it a while - 3+ years now - and zero problems. Has a 350 lb lathe sitting on top of it.

Hey Chris, why the shims under the left caster? Is the cabinet bowing from the weight of the lathe?

I bought mine last summer as I was redoing my garage. I love it. I loved it so much I bought the wall cabinets and also the storage lockers that are on casters. Excuse the mess as this was during the process of moving stuff around in my garage after painting it. Just FYI though it did take a good portion of the day to put together. Granted I was enjoying some cold beverages while building it. lol
