Customer Reviews for Gladiator Ready-to-Assemble Steel Freestanding Garage Cabinet in Gray Slate (48 in. W x 72 in. H x 18 in. D)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought one of these expecting the same quality and creativity as Gladiator’s heavy duty shelving. Those shelves are fantastic - no screws or bolts required, easy assembly, tough as nails, etc. I was sadly disappointed, as this unit exhibits none of those attributes. For example, it takes quite a bit of time to assemble this unit. The instruction manual is not as clear as it should be. The holes in the rear panels are mis-sized so that the screws either won’t screw in at all or slide in with no purchase. The position of the shelves cannot be adjusted without more screwing/unscrewing. And the weight capacity of this unit is underwhelming. I have to think with a bit more thought this piece could live up to Gladiator’s heavy duty shelving. But for now it doesn’t, which is a shame since you will pay a premium for this unit compared to other competitors on the market.

These cabinets are well built and easy to assemble. Two cabinets assembled in about 5.5 hours. Sturdy and as described.

These cabinets make my garage looks so much better than the old open shelves I had. Nice to have doors, hide your stuff, help keep dirt etc out. Easy to assemble. I purchased optional bracket kit to hang on the wall, using Gear Track Channel. Poor design how brackets attach to back of cabinet, against the flimsy sheet metal. After cabinet installed on the Gear Track, top of cabinet leans out from the wall a bit, due to movement of sheet metal. Didn’t like that at all. Bought some 2 inch, 1/8 inch thick aluminum angle, bolted to top back edge of cabinet, then lag screwed into wall studs. Doesn’t lean out at all now, super sturdy and straight. Probably best to just keep on the ground with the feet.

great cabinet, easy install

If you do not install in middle shelf then to doors will not stay shut. Poor Design!

Easy assembly and easily adjustable leveling feet. This unit looks good and has a lot of capacity. I ordered two units and one came with a damaged door. I called customer service and the wonderful lady that I spoke to had a replacement door shipped to me within one week.

Very pleased with the Gladiator cabinet.I have 3 and will buy 1 more

Excellent quality and easily assembled by myself. Matches other Gladiator cabinetry perfectly. 48 inch shelf span will take moderate loading.

They make the shop look great

Just set this cabinet up yesterday. Easy installation and it feels sturdy. Would like to purchase extra shelves. Is that possible?

Well designed, easy assembly. Be sure to level out feet to ensure best alignment of doors.

This product is very High Quality and packaged very well

Nice cabinet, but instructions were hard to follow. I can understand that companies want to outsource manufacturing to China, but at least pay someone to develop succinct instructions for assembly. Can't put casters on this big one, but I knew that when I bought it. Otherwise, it should last a long time.

Great cabinet. I only wish manufacturer would include two keys instead of one

LOVE IT!! Easy to assemble, excellent step by step instructions. Very sturdy, superb quality, perfect shelving unit for our garage. Highly recommend, and plan to purchase additional pieces.

Great garage cabinet. Assembles easy and you can tell it's made well. Going to buy another. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

Easy to put together. Instructions clear. Packing was amazing, great engineers . I, an 82 year old woman, only needed a second person when placing shelves and door . We're looking to purchase another one but smaller. Great job!!!

So far this has been an awesome unit, easy to assemble and tons of storage. Plan on getting the smaller one next

My eight and ninth Gladiator cabinet. Awesome products.

This is a pretty sturdy garage storage unit. Probably can be installed by a single person, but may take 4 hours. With me and my son, it took a couple of hours. Lot of screws to fit. Just one complain, that the doors don't fit all that perfect. O have to really push them inside hard. Not sure if it is not made properly or if it was a user assembly mistake. But, otherwise I am highly satisfied with the product.
