Well no I haven't had it but it would be roughly 135 american dollars. I would say its a cheaply built box for that amount of money. Just my 2 cents, could be great. Only way to find out is to just buy and and try it.

I'm going to say pretty borderline based on the weight of the box (45 lbs) , and the capacity quoted for the drawers. (33 lbs)

Looks like a home owner type box to me, drawers are very short front to rear (less than 12"). Boxes that measure 18" front to rear seem too short to me now, I'd look for a deeper one.

I also looked at that one, turns out that it's almost the equivalent of a very similar sealey one, chap at work has the sealey one as an field service engineer and is very happy with it!

I'd be shopping the used market...

Looks like a basic home owner grade box. But no first hand experience with that brand, sorry. Out of curiosity what are the "big names" in tool boxes over there?

Could probably find something much better quality wise for the money.

They do 5 drawer tool cart same as the HF one .

Generally they all chinese made, 42" cabinet about best buy, similar HF 44" beside 2 less drawers due to 2 rows of deep .
20gauge construction but due to size and drawer layout not bad for this price price and item weight reflects that.
The hang-on side cabinet not bad for ebay price (cheaper on ebay via sgs !) would fit most cabinets and good for bench and van mods.
top chests waste of time unless want small top chest.

Pretty much Snap-On or cheap junk, the quality Euro brands are available but are not common, but you wont get anything good on the used market for £150 unless your very lucky, my Hazet cart was £180 and I thought I did good on that, was the only one local in about a year as well.
There are a lot less tool boxes here in general though. You dont tend to have the room for them here at home.

Sealey superline pro series cabinets not too bad and 18gauge, prices can be fair if really hunt for one. us pro 42" not too bad for price and pretty solid, heavier than sgs but £100 more, they have drawer edge forming and handles much like old proto boxes .
All these and most other uk boxes all 18" depth :-S due to smaller size and 2 drawer banks 20 gauge in right forming can make quite rigid cabinet .
Used branded always good, Tend see Mac better priced, not so much used in uk market so hard going unless prepared do long travel .
EDIT
curious on SGS boxes I sent them an email about box spec, seem awful company to deal with, hardly answer any question straightly. From what could conclude it thin gauge maybe 20gauge, has all single slides including long top drawer on the 42" cabinet and also no pressed slots in drawers even if had extra slides add to it !
Just due to poor response and bad attitude I got from emails I would recommend avoiding this company unless can see/buy product in person and no other options for you .
