Rolling Base Cabinet - Ultimate Garage - GA-03 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought 2 of these GA-03 rolling cabinets and one GA-01 double door cabinet. I was a little hesitant from reading some of the other reviews. Unlike some other folks I did not have any major problems with assembling these cabinets. To be clear, I have assembled probably dozens of pieces from Ikea, Home Depot kitchen cabinets, etc. It is similar to other KD cabinets in construction but somewhat heavier. No, the entire cabinet is not made of MDF, only the top and door/drawer faces. The rest is the typical particleboard. I have already had some of the edging start to peel off on the drawer edges. I expect that the edges and corners of the cabinet are pretty easy to damage. On the positive side, the sides rest on top of the bottom which allows them to hold much more weight and the post/cam setup that holds the cabinet together is by far the most rugged that I have seen. The posts screw into threaded steel inserts which is MUCH stronger than the type that IKEA uses that thread directly into the particleboard and easily strip out. They are kind of finicky to align but they really draw up tight making for a much sturdier cabinet. Drawer bottoms are another weak point-only 1/8" thick. Better use a steel cabinet for your heavy tools. The top is also very rugged with a heavy melamine coating and raised edges to keep things from rolling off, Nice! The GA-03 does not come with a shelf and the sides are not drilled to accomadate one. The dark grey doors are very attractive but I don't care for the black cabinet as it shows every bit of dust and dirt-hard to keep looking nice in a garage. Overall I liked these cabinets and think they are a nice addition to my garage and a good value. For the price I can accept their shortcomings. If you want better expect to pony up at least twice the price for top of the line steel cabinets.
