Customer Reviews for Husky Ready-to-Assemble 24-Gauge Steel Freestanding Garage Cabinet in Black (48 in. W x 72 in. H x 18.3 in. D)

No it didn’t not. I have been backwards and forth with Home depot about the clamp that is missing on the inside that hold the shelves. Something needs to be done.

These cabinets come in several widths. I decided on the 30" width for 2 reasons. Since they're all the same gauge I thought the 30" would be sturdier than the wider units. I am pleased with how sturdy the unit is. The other reason is the doors on the wider units will extend further into your garage space. If you have plenty, this would not be an issue. With my available space, the 30" width cabinet doors open completely. I recommend this cabinet, no regrets. I would purchase again.

I ordered this through Home Depot and it arrived in perfect condition. My wife and I put it together in about and hour. Just wished the parts were marked so you could find parts faster. It is very sturdy and solid. Doors close perfect and shelves are easy to adjust. I was missing one shelf bracket and I called Husky customer service and they are sending one in about a week. Highly recommend this cabinet!!!!

Great build quality and the careful packaging. Ordered three of them and no shipping damage or scratches. I'm very happy with my purchase!!!

Was on sale so I thought the price was good. Putting it together went pretty good for the most part. It took me a long minute to figure out the cabinet parts had a shrink wrap film. That took forever to peel off. Once the film was off assembly went smooth. Cabinet looks great I sould have bought two.

This is good quality. I was kinda surprised. I would definitely recommend.

Great quality and price

Bought this cabinet and two wall cabinets in 1/2020 and again 2/2022 and they are not the same close up, from a distance they look the same. First, there was a very aggravating thin plastic film you had to peel off the new ones, second they are not the same quality, the fit and finish is a few notches below my 2020 cabinets with exposed fasteners, and third the shelves are much lighter. They technically have the same weight rating, but I can assure you 150lb per shelf is too much.

Got this cabinet to store ammunition since it get humid where I live. There are air vents on top, bottom and back. After assembling it for over an hour, putting all my ammo in it and locking it. The locking door locks, but the other door slips right by the locked door. The locking door is supposed to overlap the other door to prevent it from opening. I reviewed the instructions and inspected all the areas around the cabinet to make sure I didn’t get something backwards, but its all correct.

Great product! Easy to assemble, Great quality and I highly Recommend this Husky cabinet!

Easy assembly and sturdy construction makes this a great value and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good storage cabinet. It also looks great in my garage.

We have 2 Husky cabinets and added this 3rd one. It was a nightmare getting a thin plastic coating of all the outside pieces. The other 2 did not have that coating. We needed them to all match, or we would have sent it back. Not sure why Husky would send a cabinet like that.

I am so happy that I purchased these ready to assemble 24 gauge steel freestanding garage storage units. The metal storage units were not difficult to put together, as long as you follow the instructions with the photos. It took less than 10 minutes to assemble each one. The metal seems thick enough and strong enough and there is enough clearance underneath with the legs that you can simply blow away the debris with a leaf blower. I especially love that these doors come with a locking mechanism and the keys because of my garage floor slopes and otherwise the doors were just fall open on their own, but with the locks I can just keep the keys in it and keep them locked at all times. The shelves seem pretty sturdy and I have some heavy things on the shelf so we’ll see how they hold up. I did end up bolting the back of the unit to my garage wall to a stud. The packaging arrived in questionable condition and upon removing the units from the box there were a couple small indentations in the doors but not enough for me to complain about. These doors are great and I would buy more as I go, I already bought two of them, and I recommend them highly.

I just bought two of these and one was made in Vietnam and weighed 191.29 lbs. and the other in China and weighted 136.50 lbs. The one from China is thin and feels like it's going to fall apart. What a fricken joke. Home Depot should refund me $86.06 if you calculate based on weight. It's like getting a Pinto instead of a Lincoln.

The Husky freestanding garage cabinets are the perfect fit for my space in the garage. I chose to get the cabinets in metal because the description says the shelves can each hold 150 pounds versus a plastic shelving unit or cabinet. Assembly was fairly simple with a couple people to help hold the sides up while the other person put the little screw in. It only took about 20 minutes to assemble for each cabinet. The assembly manual was very easy to follow. I chose to screw the cabinet into the wall for stability, now the cabinets don’t even budge, and I highly recommend that you secure this to the wall to prevent tip overs. I love all the room I get in this cabinet, the shelves are fantastic and seem to hold a lot of weight. The cabinet also comes with all the metal panels protected in a plastic sheath that you would pull off, but I chose to leave most of mine on except for the front to help protect it for longevity, although this is not necessary you can take all the plastic off right away if you choose. I love how it has round screw in feet that you level your cabinet with, and I definitely had to level mine because my garage floor slopes. I had to find storage cabinets that fit between the wall and my circuit breaker box and these two cabinets fit perfect with about 5 inches clearance on the side. I love that these doors lock because they stay shut this way, if not for the lock the doors would probably open on their selves because of my floor that slopes. I highly recommend these metal cabinets as they are phenomenal storage units.

I bought two if these cabinets and assembled them yesterday. I noticed that the shelving in one of the cabinets was constructed to be more heavy duty than the other. Just curious why. The instructions were easy to follow.

First day I wasted a lot of time removing the plastic film. It is extremely difficult to remove. Day 2- the holes do not line up for the top, using a rubber mallet to try & force parts together. The brass ridge of the hole on the top seems to block it from coming together smoothly.

I wondered why this was so inexpensive but I now know why. Product was packed well but the top hinges were bent in. And the inside rails that the shelf mounts go on were bent. Talk about a pain in the neck to adjust.

Overall it still stands, a bit frustrating. I’ve boughten 3 of these. All three have been damaged in the U channel which the shelves attach into. Don’t try and bend it back into shape as it will distort the metal worse than before.

Very nice unit. Plenty of storage space. Easy to assemble. Feels a little cheap after it’s all put together. Once stuff was added it appeared to be very sturdy and it holds a lot. Good Buy. I want another one already.

Will Never Buy Again!!!!

I put one together in a little over an hour. The parts were not labeled but a quick look and you can figure it out easy enough. You can knock out holes in the back and 2 grommets are included so you can charge batteries inside the cabinet, or add lighting or both. The shelves are nice as my sawsall fits easily as well as my circular and jigsaw with room for odds and ends and hand tools. I'm looking at pegs for the pegboards on the doors as I need to organize my screwdrivers amongst other things.

I would have given this a higher rating if there was more flexibility in the shelf heights and if it didn't have so many holes in the back that need to be covered to keep garage critters (spiders, mice) from entering my camping equipment. I think the cabinets should have been designed with knock outs. everyone doesn't want charging holes in the rear of the cabinet.

I am blown away as the the ease of assembly perfect directions heavy duty doors and all around amazing product. Before this purchase I purchased a competitor brand and totally regret that purchase. That competitor awful directions holes didn't line up easy to strip.. this husky blows away any other competitor at this price. I will be purchasing another I live it so much.. thank husky for a quality product at a very affordable price.

Everything about this cabinet is basically perfect. The shipping box was really well constructed. A warehouse dent in the box had no effect on the cabinet. The steel is thick enough for medium duty and the paint was perfect. Assembly was easier than I expected, although one retaining nut got cross-threaded really easily. I had to chase the threads with a tap to get the screw in. All of the screws are installed from the outside, and the nuts are locked in place. Instructions were clear and complete. I counted eight different shelf heights ranging from 5” to 10 1/2” spacing, so you can probably set the three shelves at heights that will work for you. I give this 5 stars for design, materials and manufacturing.

Top of door on right will not align w/ left door top. It does close but the 2 top edges are not same height. No way to adjust & contractor really tried to make it look better For $ 500 it should be level

STURDY CABINET, BUT ROOM TO IMPROVE I like the size, the looks, the sturdiness. But I knocked off a star for my three gripes: 1. Most of the panels are covered in a protective film. I appreciate its function, but the instructions helpfully tell us to remove the film before assembly. Let me tell you, that stuff is well adhered and a pain to remove! It easily tripled the assembly time, it's so tough to get off. And you don't want to leave it on, it will get scratched and nasty looking over time. 2. Not enough shelf adjustment. They punched a few extra holes for the shelf brackets, but not enough. Would have been easy to run a series of punched holes all up and down those corner rails. But a trick! You can get about an inch and a half extra up or down adjustment on any given shelf, but you have to flatten out two tangs on the shelf bracket, see picture. You lose a little weight capacity I suppose, or maybe none, I dunno, certainly puts your warranty at risk. Think carefully about which way you're going, and bend the correct tangs, you probably only get one chance. Wonder if I can buy extras? 3. The adjustable feet have castellations to help turn them with your fingertips... but adjusting them with an assembled cabinet in place isn't easy. Wish there was a hole to stick a screwdriver in.

Very nice cabinet for our garage. Well engineered, easy to assemble, they even included a driver bit for my drill to ease assembly. Panels were well protected in packaging too.

These Husky cabinets not only look great they are very functional in my shop. I used to rely on open shelves to store my tools and supplies, but find that in a shop where I do a good bit of woodworking everything gets quite dusty and dirty. These cabinets keep everything clean while providing a good storage space. The directions for assembly are good and the fit and finish of the cabinets are better than I expected. There are many screws and threaded fittings for connecting the top, bottom, sides and back panels and I was surprised at how well everything went together. I took my time; read the instructions; looked at the pictures; used a square to keep parts and pieces in alignment; used a very low torque setting on my drill/driver where it said not to tighten the screws and then used a much higher torque setting for final assembly. By using the square when doing the assembly kept everything in alignment so the doors fit without further adjustment. The shelves are easy to install and are quite strong. The only problem that I encountered when doing the assembly was that one leg on one cabinet was longer than the other legs, so I had to adjust the other legs on that cabinet to match. This was fairly easy to do once I figured out why the cabinet wobbled. With all of the parts and pieces that make up the cabinets, I think it is remarkable that this is the only issue that I had and the legs are adjustable so it was easy to remedy. However, in the future I will measure all of the legs before I install them.
