Gents - we are busy fixing up my new playroom/mancave or whatever the term is... I'm looking to order some new cabinets - maybe 2 tall ones around 6', and 3 shorter ones that we can put a work table over. The old white melamine/particle board ones from our prior shop have got to go. Hoping to find something metal - don't need superfancy top of the line, but decent middle of the road that I can get sooner than later.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks !

I got mine at IKEA. Don't laugh. They are well built and relatively inexpensive. 6 years this month and look brand new.

I went with Galdiator at Sears of all places. I think they carry a higher end than some of the other stores. Have been very happy with them.

I went with Equipto professional cabinets. More expensive but super quality. Got them through a buddy who supplies car dealers with professional equipment.

I also have Premiere Garage cabinets that work very well for me. Not fancy but look good in my man cave. Tomy

Same here. A variety of solutions to choose from.

.....and Sears, Lowes, OSH, etc...carry them. Sears seems to ALWAYS have a sale on them.

Have had Craftsman tool cabinets for many many years. They compliment the Gladiators quite well.

I ordered a couple of tool boxes from harbors freight took the wheels off and put them side by side and bought some butcher block counter tops from Ikea to put on the surface got metal peg boards as the back splash and some cheaper overhead cabinets also from harbor freight that i mounted on top.

EP my cars?, since when EP became a verb? lol
I guess you don't know me very well, the blue gt has almost 70k miles on it, the black one over 11K miles, the R8(yes its three pedal) bought new already has 13k miles on it since last year. so to answer your question no, i drive all my cars, if I don't its time to sell it. well except for the boss 302 that one I can't sell and I don't drive that much, but it is a driver! as for the cleanliness Im just anal that all, but I'm working on it :)

The butcher block tops from IKEA are great.

Only if you redefine "EP them" as drive and wrench on them at will! Soroush's Garage... Home of the 15 minute Whipple install! He is "hooked up like a tow truck" when it comes to tools and knowledge!

Soroush - I haven't forgotten about the Eddie v's I owe you, been on the road constantly but will settle down soon with twins on the way (I don't mean turbos). I'll give ou a shout when back in town.

Baldhead cabinets. Super good quality at a fair price. Much more than a melamine cabinet, but not much more than a gladiator set up.
