For lightwieght items only - poor construction
Bought three sets of these because they were the right size for my workbench and the red front looked cool. Unfortunately, these bins just don't hold up in a garage when you fill the drawers with steel nuts, bolts and washers. As the collective weight of all the items in the cabinet goes up, the storage bin literally pulls apart. That cool-looking red front is only press fitted onto the gray backing. Not molded onto it, not glued onto it, not even snapped onto it. As the weight of the parts increases, the gray shelving warps in such a manner that the red front literally pulls away from the gray section. Only happens on the units that I store metal parts. In the unit I store lightweight items like wire nuts, zip ties, and very small screws, the bin is OK. If your needs call for something that will hold drawers full of bolts, screws, washers, etc., avoid this parts bin and spend the extra money on steel storage bins. That's what I'll be doing.
