 Good Value for the Money October 12, 2008

I purchased two of these, along with the tall standalone cabinet. I compared these with Sears' Craftsman and Gladiator units. The Stanley model was much superior to the Gladiator. Stanley's feel solid and they hang on the wall neatly and securely. Truthfully, if the cost was the same, I'd have bought the Craftsman, but the cost of these were significantly cheaper and I was able to get free shipping from Amazon (FEDEX!!!) and no sales tax, so Stanley won out. I don't regret the decision at all, and recommend these products. One word of caution, however: Most of these parts "snap together," there are few screws, except for mounting. The instructions are good and clear, but it's still easy to make a mistake and snap together a couple of parts incorrectly. And it's real difficult to unsnap them! All the parts are numbered and if you're more careful than I was, you won't have any problems assembling these cabinets!
Looks sharp, adaptable, good storage. August 31, 2008

This upper cupboard goes with the matching base for a good looking set, or you can hang just the uppers where you want them. It has optional feet if you want to make it a standing cabinet, although it is a bit shallow for that. You can also stack these, attached together with included adapters to make a taller cabinet. Or you can also mount this upper cabinet on the deeper base cabinet. Follow directions carefully, as it is hard to undo things put in upside down ... which is easy to do. Attach to the wall for a double tall cabinet for stability.
This offers decent mounting support that lets you position it where you want it to be and still be screwed into to studs. (There is a metal bar going across the back with lots of holes to screw into a stud without having the whole thing off center. Little support clips screw in on the underside of the cabinet to give more lift support. Too heavy for only molly/dry wall installation.
Still, it looks a bit like it is sagging off the wall, but I've had it up for two years and seems solid. The corners seem to separate slightly, but you can push it back into shape. Neat little plastic bins clip on inside the doors, but they do cut into the shelf space.
Lots of plastic peg-board hooks, tool holders, etc, to use on open peg-board cabinet sides, plus all regular metal peg board gizmos (not included) can be used too.
I have four of these already, and just ordered another one.
