I need to buy a new cabinet or shelving rack for my products as the home-brew wooden concoction finally broke. I've eyed this cabinet and this shelving rack. Which do you think is the better buy and better for storing my supplies? I would keep things neater if I had a cabinet, but on the other hand, the shelves are easy to grab something and go. Comments? Thoughts?

Thanks again.

Thanks again. | Craftsman makes a really nice metal cabinet with shelving on the doors. Its a bit price, though at $289.
I have the same cabinet you linked in your first post. Well, almost the same thing, mine is half the size, but its the same brand and everything, yours is just twice as tall. Anyways, I would recommend against it, as loading it up with products causes the shelves to bend and form a "U" shape. Definitely go for something made of wood or metal. | |

Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 239 | BTW, here is the link to the Craftsman cabinet I was talking about. Its a very nice unit, and after seeing the prices of the metal cabinets sold at Staples that someone else posted, I'd definitely go for this. http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...id=00959275000 | |
