Best Garage Storage Cabinets With Reviews

Just bought four of these - three for the kitchen of our "downsize" townhome, and one more for the laundry room. All boxes were delivered together and a day early, with no damage to boxes or inside parts. All the pieces were there, save one single screw, which we easily found a replacement for. Love the look, (they match any standard white cabinet kitchen, even ours which date back to 2009), and the color is perfect (I worried our old cabinets would look a bit yellow in comparison, but they don't.) I love the soft close hardware and hidden hinges, and they hold a TON of stuff. I've now started streamlining the kitchen, and I've got PLENTY of pantry space for now and forever! Nothing is sitting out anymore, unless I want it to be. YAYYY! We actually hired someone to do the putting together - the guy had the four of them assembled and perfectly installed in just over four hours. They are straight and level, (the legs adjust so you can get it just right, same way a refrigerator's legs work), and he bolted them to the walls to make them untippable too. (Anti-tip hardware is included.) I think they will last for years. They aren't the strongest or most sturdy units ever made - and I am going to need to be careful not to weigh them down with much more than the stated weight limits, but I think for the price they are just perfect. We intend to gut our kitchen and redo it if we end up keeping this townhouse for the long haul, but it just wasn't working the way it was. This gave us the freedom of a cheap solution to the lack of space, and now we have time to wait till the appliances wear out AND we have it in the budget to go for a big kitchen redo. Perfect solution for the two of us!

Set this bad boy up late last year, and it's been lovely. We use it typically a few times per day and it shows no signs of wear as far as I can tell. No squeaky or sagging doors. Easily wipes clean. I don't recall that assembly was too difficult, but I did have my husband working on it with me. When we first set it up, it seemed a bit dangerously unstable -- when the doors were open and the cabinet was empty, it wanted to lean forward. I adjusted the legs so the cabinet leaned slightly backward and bought a kit to attach the unit securely to the wall. And honestly... I have not used the kit. We loaded up the cabinet with the things we wanted to store in it and the weight is enough to counterbalance the doors, so the unit doesn't wobble even if you aren't particularly gentle opening or closing it. I still should probably install the wall bracket kit, but I feel comfortable leaving it on the procrastination list for now. If you have small creatures at home who might try to hang on the doors or climb the shelves... maybe put the wall bracket on your "do sooner" list. Overall: great purchase, this thing is a lifesaver for storing unsightly things in a low-sq. ft. area. EDIT: It looks like a number of reviewers have complaints about how the doors hang, or insist that the holes are drilled wrong. The hinges on this cabinet are VERY adjustable via those little screws. If the doors don't look right out of the box, you will probably have to make some adjustments to the hinges to get them properly square -- maybe have someone support the weight of each door while you work.

Appearance five stars. Looks tough and is. Will fit in most places, except formal living areas. :o) Four and one-half stars for quality because the drilled-out assembly holes (you won't understand what I'm talking about until you open the box) sometimes didn't go all the way through, and the scraps were left inside the walls and doors. I had to shake all the pieces out before assembling; otherwise they would have rattled around inside forever. Study the diagram on the outside of the box - there's no assembly sheet inside. And if you don't have a rubber hammer, get one. They're not expensive. Following these guidelines you should easily be able to assemble the thing in less than 15 minutes. Durability five stars. This thing is sturdy. Only had it for a week, but as we're using it inside, it will probably outlive me. The box was nearly worn through on the bottom and had obviously been dropped a good time or two in transit. But even with some visible signs of abuse it didn't compromise its strength. If this happens to you, just assemble the unsightly parts toward the rear. Four stars for ease of use, and the one real complaint: The very feature that accounts for much of the ease of assembly and strength (internal corner columns) also makes for a fair amount of binding of the doors, as these columns also serve as the hinges. You will probably have to rap the doors into place with your hand or foot when closing. If anything has the potential to shorten the life of the cabinet during everyday use, it will be the plastic-on-plastic rubbing every time the doors are opened or closed.

About this set of cabinets about four months ago and man am I glad I did. They make such a great addition to my new garage. Two of my tall cabinets were damaged upon Arrival. I called customer service the next morning and was surprised to learn that they immediately offered me two replacement cabinets or a credit for the damage to the two cabinets. The cabinets are built very good and the shelves hold a lot of weight. The rolling tool carts worked out well for me because my toolbox was overloaded and crowded with tools. I was able to take some of the tools out of my toolbox and organize them into the two rolling carts and now I can see each and every tool that I own. I purchased the slat wall kit with my cabinets and I even ordered an accessory kit which made the slat wall so nice. Now I can see the tools that I use on a daily basis without having to dig through drawers in my toolboxes. Thanks New Age for making a great product and thank you for an outstanding customer service department. I am in the process of building a 1500 square-foot detached garage that I will add these cabinets to as soon as it is finished. I’ll post pictures of both garages once I get My next set of cabinets from New Age. I do not need to look and compare cabinets any longer because I know for the money you cannot beat these cabinets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a garage full of pre-assembled Gladiator cabinets along a wall of my garage. I jumped at the chance to review the Ready-to-Assemble unit and see how they compare to my existing pre-assembled cabinets at a 35%-40% lower price point. Assembly took approximately 40 minutes including unpacking and organizing the materials and the parts. The packaging was done very well and there were no damaged parts; nothing bent or scratched. I was impressed that there was 1 extra set of hardware for each screw or washer type required for the cabinet. I get to toss them into my spare hardware bucket but did not have to go scrounging for a screw or even worse going to the hardware store or calling the maker!! The unit came together very easily. In normal 'caveman' fashion I ignored the instructions and tried to put do some of the build with the unit standing up and struggled trying to keep everything straight and standing without a third hand. A quick look at the instructions straightened me out!! I laid the unit down on the empty box and the back slipped right in place. The back pieces slide upward into notches on the back with is initially counter intuitive until realizing at the end of the build that the back and not the frame carries the weight of the cabinet when hung on the wall. Standing the unit up on the box and turning around to put the doors in proved to be a little challenging. 1) the unit may be slightly racked / out of square even with the back installed; 2) the doors need to be centered between the top and bottom of the opening so the door does not drag or rub on the cabinet; 3) alignment of the doors to each other. I put in 2 screws in the hinge to hold the door on. I used a small piece of wood as a spacer under the door to hold it off of the bottom of the inside of the cabinet. Then I pushed on the outside corner to make the door square in the opening (same parallel gap at the top and bottom of the door. Tightened the middle screw and tested door adjusting up/down slightly to center in the opening. Added/tightened remaining screws. Next did the same thing with the 2nd door and really focused on aligning the tops of both doors so they would match. This was not overly difficult but did take the most effort / time out of the whole build. Comparing this unit to my existing cabinets turns out to be not quite apples to apples. The are not as sturdy but they are also have a lower weight rating (150 lbs vs 200 lbs for the pre-assembled). My sturdy comment is only because it is not welded together and you can force some movement if you try. This is not really relevant for a wall cabinet though as it will only see use through the amount of weight and the opening/closing of the doors. I don't consider this a detractor. These units do not have locks (I don't use the locks on a majority of my cabinets). My only real concern with the cabinet is the hanger. The hanger uses the back wall of the cabinet to hang the wall bracket. I would've thought this would be in the frame. I'm sure it will carry the load though and wouldn't hesitate loading it up. I really like the lower price point, ease of assembly, look and feel as well as the functionality. The spare screws and they organized way they were packaged was a nice touch. Overall I will consider these as I finish out my shop. They provide a good value option over the pre-assembled units allowing me to go farther within my existing budget.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got this for my husband and I am very impressed. It comes ready to assemble and is massive in size measuring 48 in W by 18 in D by 72 in tall. My husband rated assembly difficulty as a 5 or 6, not super easy but nod super hard either if you know what your are doing. It features 1 fixed and 2 adjustable shelves allowing different heights depending on your needs. The adjustable leveler legs stabilize the cabinet Made of solid and durable steel construction making it a cabinet sure to last for years. My husband is what I call a hoarder, especially when it comes to his garage. This gearbox is going to be a life saver helping him get all of his garage stuff stored and organized. It will hold all of his odds and ends such as bags of concrete and paint on the bottom shelves and power tools and extra batteries, home renovation supplies and a host of other hodge podge miscellaneous items he has to save and store in our garage. A nice bonus is the lock and key making sure your items are kept are and secure. If you are serious about garage organization and storage I would highly recommend this Gearbox.

Just finished assembling this bad boy. I have to say, it looks smashing. Admittedly, I don't usually enjoy the assembly phase on a product like this, but today was sunny and clear, I opened up the garage door and put on some Velvet Underground, and took my time, with a beer half-way in, and actually enjoyed the process from beginning to end. Everything fit together just so. The finished gearbox is durable and aesthetically pleasing--manly, clean, elegant even, and a lot more stable and solid than I anticipated. The instructions recommend two people for assembly, but I did it easily all by my lonesome self in about 80 to 90 minutes.The gearbox comes with four adjustable legs, but please, do yourself a favor and bundle this with Gladiator's GarageWorks GACK04KDSX Ready-to-Assemble Modular GearBox Caster Kit (see my review for that product for more information). It's much, much easier to simply install the casters as you go, rather than installing the legs, then buying the casters down the road, then having to tip the assembled gearbox on its side and swapping out the legs for the casters. I could easily see myself buying a second gearbox in the future if I start running low on storage space. This will make a fine addition to your garage or man cave.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You know, I've always wanted one of these. I just never got around getting one for myself until now. I am certainly glad that I did. This cabinet came to the door without a mark on the box or anything inside. I included a picture that shows how it was when I opened the box very well packed. After I unpacked it and looked at the directions, it took me about an hour to get to the second picture which is basically the box built. after that it took me another half an hour to complete the project to include the doors and the back braces that are used to hang the cabinet on the wall to keep from tipping over. I must say that it's specially, but putting the doors on was incredibly intuitive and easy. they included a slot at the bottom and the top of the door similar to a picture hanging slot that you could hang the doors on two screws that are started. from there you just align the doors and tighten all the other screws. Ask for the cabinet, super high-quality. The finishes are sick and will be there for a long time. the shelves are movable and adjustable and sturdy. The doors are diamond played and have a locking system that cannot be picked and a magnet system that runs the length of the door to ensure the doors stay closed. This cabin is super heavy duty and will hold a whole bunch of things inside of it. Each shelf seems very sturdy I could pretty much put most of my weight on them and they would be just fine. in conclusion, very happy with this cabinet I will look for and by others when I get the chance complete outfitting my garage in a professional-looking storage system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like my GearBox. It was delivered on time and in perfect condition. The assembly took about an hour but was less complicated than I expected. Everything fit together well. I had read some reviews saying that the doors didn't line up properly, but there are adjustable feet on the bottom that allow you to square everything up and once you make the needed adjustments, everything lines up perfectly. I have a few suggestions on how this item could be made better, but they are really subjective and personal preferences and not necessities. For one, I would like both doors to have the magnets to stay closed, that way, when I open the right door, which overlaps the left door, the left door can stay shut if I don't need it open, I could probably adjust the front feet to angle it back a tad and this wouldn't be an issue, but having both doors magnetized to stay closed would be nice. I think it would also be nice to be able to secure the doors in the open position, that way if I am trying to put something big on a shelf, the doors can be secured open and won't get in the way, again, not a big deal and can probably be helped by adjusting the front feet, but an actual magnet or clasp to hold the doors open would be great. Other than that, I think my only other suggestion would be to include a cut-out which users could pass an extension/power cable through, that way power tools could be charging while stored in the cabinet. Again, these aren't really necessary, and I can probably customize the GearBox myself to have these features, but I figured I would mention the few areas that I thought could be improved. They seem to make a wide variety of items for your garage, including tool chests, wall hanging systems, flooring, workbenches, and even appliances, and I think it would be great to fill my garage with these matching products, so I think I going to start buying the whole collection to really kit-out my garage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While most people would put this in a garage, it's so attractive that I am using it in my living room to store my valuables! The appearance of the "tread" textured silver steel doors against the hammered granite cabinet really stands out, making this Gladiator Modular Gear Box by Whirlpool a really nice addition to the other black metal furniture I have in the room. I did have to have a friend help me put it together. It's very heavy and not a one person endeavor. With his help, we managed to assemble it in less than an hour. The 4 adjustable leveling feet came in handy, as the building I rent in has settled and none of the floor tiles are evenly set any longer. The locking mechanism works smoothly and I have had no issues locking or unlocking the doors. The magnetic latch feature is a real plus. Once the doors are closed, they stay closed. I appreciate that one of the shelves is adjustable, so I change the amount of space between them as needed. I will be investing in the "sold separately" caster kit in the near future, so that I can move this beautiful piece of furniture around when I feel the need to change up the room. Also saving up for the "sold separately" 28" Gladiator Bamboo Top as well. I have already recommended this Heavy Duty Gladiator Module Gear Box to a few of my friends!

This cabinet is nice and tall and spacious (for what I needed which was linen space). I love the soft close hinges and the overal look. The black is very sleek. My only issue is every time I order something black there are flaws. This one has a huge scratchsmear across the front lower panel and a smaller one on the opposite side. I should have taken pictures prior to it being put together because it’s hard to hit the right angle for the camera to grab it but the eye can see it well. I just get so tired of damaged furniture from them. It’s annoying. Now don’t get me wrong…they will take care of it but I’m still taking a point for the annoyance. Otherwise for the price and what this is…it’s a really nice cabinet. Oh and it took hubby about an hour to put together but another 2 hours trying to align the doors!!! if you can zoom on pics, they’re still not quite 100 but you can barely notice. Quit trying to judge this as an all wood cabinet…that it’s not and you shouldn’t expect that at this price point but if you want nice looking for simple storage for linen or even a pantry, that’s reasonably priced, then this one looks very nice. There is no wood grain on the black and it has a subtle sheen but not shiny shiny.

Nice enough for my usage. The back of the cabinet is fairly stiff cardboard, which ticked off a star for me. It was just a reminder that I had purchased a low end cabinet. And while the bottom of the drawer is also very thin, it does come with a brace to install underneath so again, functionally it's fine. But the cardboard back doesn't have any effect on the functionality, it's just a mental thing. I also have hanging cabinets in the garage, also from Wayfair that don't have any back on them at all, but they fit snugly against the garage wall and having no back cuts down on the weight. Since a cabinet can't usually fit snugly against a wall, it needs some sort of back so stuff doesn't get pushed out of the back side of the cabinet. But it looks just like the picture, all parts were there, shipping was fast and it solved my problem. Would buy again

Bought this for my newborns appliances and accoutrements. This was exactly what I expected, even better compared to other items in the same category. Ive assembled many of such items and found this very straightforward and easy to follow. Take your time and double check every step before attempting. Everything lined up perfectly the first time, just a few adjustments to the doors required because the hinges are adjustable. Just make sure to check the door alignment is to your liking before assembling. Looks great and its well worth the price. ) No blemishes, no missing parts. Couldnt be happier with the purchase and its perfect for the need. It comes with an anti tipping belt and so it can secured to the wall for crawling infants or curious toddlers. This is a 5 out of 5 based on my expectations and needs.

I had three of these items ordered. The delivery people brought them right to my door. On first inspection, all of the outer cardboard boxes were intact with no visible damages. There were some scrapes, which was not surprising considering the weight of the boxes. The packing was excellent and everything arrived safely. I brought them into my garage to start the assembly. I opened the first box and inspected all of the contents, checking all of the parts and quantities. Everything was there with some extra parts like nails. I read through the construction manual while taking a break and gathered the tools I needed for the assembly. Everything was standard tools, such as a tape measure, phillips screwdriver, small hammer. The V shaped packing material was ideal for use as supports on the floor to keep all the parts off the cement floor and prevented any scratches from happening. I took my time doing the first cabinet, and it took me approximately 20 minutes to assemble the box. One of the most important steps is to square the cabinet before installing the back panel. The corner to corner measurements must be as close to the same as possible. I would suggest that once you have the back panel evenly space on the cabinet, nail the back panel by doing all four corners first. Two nails in each corner will hold the cabinet square and the panel secured enough to nail in the rest of the nails. I installed the doors after I stood the cabinet up, placed it in its location and levelled it front to back and top to bottom. I then secured it to the wall with the provided hardware. Installing the doors can be trick if you are working alone, but not impossible. I am very pleased with the quality of the materials and how easily they went together. It took about 2 hours to assemble all three cabinets. I would not hesitate to order more of their products, they are well made and the process is well thought out.

I bought two of these for the garage. They went together okay, instructions are pretty good. While there are three hinges per door, the adjustment directions are for only two hinges. It can get fairly weird holding the door with one hand while adjusting three hinges with the other. Eventually got it done with minimal swearing. To get more shelf space, I got a 4ft shelf at HD and then used one of the adjustable shelves as a template for sawing two more shelves. I had some extra shelf pins left over from other builds but I know HD has them if you don’t. Minor points: The holes for the door handles are just a grunt off in spacing so don’t tighten the first screw too much or you won’t be able to get the second one in. My first cabinet arrived just fine. The second one came in like a week later and has some damage to one of the side walls (see pic). Not the end of the world. Just gave it a quick blast of black spray paint and made sure that side was up against a wall so you can’t see it. Also, though, one of the shelves in that shipment had a ding on the edge. Just put it toward the back of the cabinet.
