Manhattan Comfort Fortress 30" Floating Garage Storage Cabinet Set of 2, Lockable, Adjustable Shelves, Recessed Handles, Steel Wall Mounted Utility Cabinet for Workshop, Garage, Basement in Black/Grey

I bought three of the Fortress Floating Garage Cabinets to put on the wall over my workbench. All three came out of the box with all parts in perfect condition - not one single dent, bend, or scratch. I was very impressed with the quality of the packaging job. I think the shipping cartons could withstand a fair amount of abuse without the contents being damaged. Assembly was quite simple. The instructions were easy to understand. In my opinion, anyone who thinks otherwise simply has no knack for doing this sort of thing. And it was easy to get the doors aligned. Just follow the instruction to not tighten any of the screws until the end. After putting it all together with all the screws just slightly loose, set it upright on a table or other nice, flat, level surface. Looking at the front side, gently push the top left or right until the top and bottom of the doors are aligned (maybe have a helper hold it that way), and then partly tighten one front allen screw at a couple of the corners. Make sure the doors are still aligned and partly tighten a couple more corners. If still aligned, firmly tighten all the front screws, then turn it around and tighten all the back allen screws. Tighten the small phillips screws that hold the back on last. Once assembled, these cabinets seem at least as sturdy as I expected, and they are very nice-looking units. The locks are probably next to useless, as anyone with any strength could probably rip the doors open when locked (and do serious damage in the process), but they should at least keep a child out. And I didn't buy them for the locking feature anyway.

When the UPS driver dropped the boxes on the front porch, I thought someone was breaking down the door. Despite the LOUD arrival, the product was not damaged in any way. I immediately checked both cabinets for damage and found none. The cabinets were very well packed. The cabinets are well-designed and sturdy. Assembly was not difficult. Instructions were clear. Parts were properly marked. Holes all lined up. Fasteners were good quality. The doors came with spring loaded pins attached to rings which made it simple to install the doors. This is a great innovation. You'll need a half decent set of tools to speed the assembly. Leave all the nuts finger tight until the assembly is completed. Easiest way to square the cabinet is to temporarily install the doors and then to adjust the 'box' (without the back) until the tops of both doors make a straight line across. Then tighten the bolts to keep the square true. I'm pretty sure that the wall anchors that were included would hold this cabinet, but I went overboard, found the studs, drilled a couple of holes thru the mounting rail, and put two decent sized screws into the studs for insurance. Take your time laying out the marks for the hanging bracket. Once the hanging bracket is in place, hanging the cabinet takes a bout a minute. The cabinet can be moved an inch or so each direction once it is up. I was a little worried about some of the negative reviews so I only ordered two cabinets. I plan to order more now that I know that these will work well for me.

First of all, this is an excellent garage wall cabinet. It assembled in a reasonable amount of time, was easy to mount to the wall and looks good. The kit includes an 4mm Allen key and 10mm wrench but I recommend using your own tools as they are likely better quality than the included items. A Phillips screwdriver is also needed, but not included. Watch carefully when assembling the top, bottom, and side pieces. The front edge of the top and bottom pieces have holes for the door pins to slide into, but their design allows them to be installed backwards (as I discovered). To install the doors, I had to disassemble and put the top and bottom pieces back together correctly. Totally my mistake, but there is no mention regarding the orientation of the top and bottom pieces. My back panels had more holes in them than the frame did, so I ended up with extra screws. I considered drilling holes to install all the screws but the cabinet was solid enough without them. The directions say to tighten all the screws once the back panels are installed, but I waited (see below). The directions also say to mount the cabinet to the wall and then install the doors. I installed the doors before mounting, which allowed me to confirm the door gaps were correct, then I tightened all the nuts and screws. Lastly, an extra pair of hands will make the job go quicker.

I'm a retired Carpenter. And I know how to keep things square. And as other. Reviewers have stated. Put it together loose. Then install the doors on a level surface. And tighten the necessary bolts. I ordered three of these cabinets. So I wanted to gang them together. So did not use the bolts that go through the side Of the adjoining cabinets. Instead use self tapping screws. Through the top and bottom lips. So that the face frames would be tight together. Also used 1x4x 3/4" Pine strips. To fasten to all studs. And customized. So that the. Hooks on the top of the cabinets. Would hook into the. Pine. And then. Screwed them. To the. Custom hanger. Through the back panels. The hangers they send. Do not work well with a 16 inch stud wall layout. If you're going to use more than one cabinet. I hung them up. They're perfectly square. And the doors fit perfect. Great product for the money.!!!

Great addition to our garage space! These are all metal and are fairly straightforward to assemble. All holes lined up perfectly with one another. Very sturdy and easy to hang. Looks great with the sink (also from Amazon).

Purchased to use in a covered outside area. Has been hung on the wall for almost a year now and still looks great. Just wiped it down with kitchen spray the other day and it looks new. Assembly was a little bit of a hassle. I recommend putting it together and not tightening any of the screws until the end. When you are ready to tighten make sure it is sitting on a LEVEL FLAT surface like a poured concrete floor. At that time, push the box around a little bit to make sure it is sitting square and the door alignment looks right, then start tightening.

If you aren't comfortable with holding floppy large metal pieces, and simultaneously screwing machine screws at the same time, with good force, buy something else. I believe there is somewhere in the neighborhood of 45+ metal screws, along. Every single one of those will take a good grip on the screwdriver (because in many of the very tight places, you can't use an electric driver), and some good force as you're turning the screw to get it in. This would be best put together by someone with a large work area/bench, where they can lay out the pieces. If you buy this I highly recommend using gaffer tape, or wide masking tap to help hold pieces together while you fasten them. I have a lot of tools, and am very good at putting things like this together. It took me most of 3 hours to put it together. I thought, pretty much as standard for me, that 2 hours would be plenty to spec out for time. I had stop, and schedule time on another day to get it done. Once together, this unit is not a "tool quality" item. The box weighed about 60 lbs. The unit can handle about 50 lbs on top, and about 30lbs/drawer. The drawers are not aligned very well, even though I was very careful in assembly. The entire thing has a ... light sheet metal feel to it. I would say it's better than a cheap pressboard dresser, but nowhere near good enough to throw a big ratchet wrench into without thinking like a good tool chest. It only - looks like a tool chest.

I am not compensated for this review, I am an actual purchaser. I had a half dozen gladiator cabinets in my old home. Loved them, so I looked at getting some for my new home. Unfortunately they are too expensive now, I think I got them on sale for a hundred something each, now they are triple that. So I decided to try this brand and purchased one as a test case. So far I am pleased. I followed some other commenter's advice to not tighten all the bolts down until the doors were in place. THat worked and everything lines up well. It was packaged securely and had all the necessary hardware. Each panel by itself seems flimsy, but when assembled I have no doubt they will hold up to time and whatever I put in them. The finish is nice. The mounting bar is not as flexible as the track system for the gladiators, but it was easy to drill a couple of holes in order to line up with the studs where I wanted it mounted. Plus the mounting plate comes with the cabinet and is not an extra. Just ordered 4 more.

I use this for a fish tank. Worked out great. Lots of storage. I have magnetic hooks on it to hang nets and tubing. Just great.

This steel cabinet was easy to assemble and had easy to follow instruction...Once it was together and all secured l found it to be quite sturdy...l found it a little pricey though..Be careful of the metal edges as l sliced my thumb a good one inserting the shelf support clips...I didn' hang this unit and only used it as a cabinet in my office so l can't testify to how it hangs but lm happy with it...

good value for the price and pretty easy to assemble

will dent over time but is good for what you get. I would buy again but it's not perfect.
