Anyone using garage cabinets that they would recommend?

I'm currently eyeing these two at Home Depot. One is 36" wide and one is 48" wide. I figure with the two different widths I can buy a few of them to fit around the windows in my garage.


 
Can't speak to those, although the plastic ones don't like weight on the shelves.

Maybe visit local Habitat or other Re-store and see if they have cheap cabinets or if someone kitchen
 
File cabinets and curbed kitchen cabinets is what I'm using. For a workbench base I'm using an old waterbed drawer base. Not the prettiest setup but functional.
 
I have a 4 drawer filing cabinet full, completely full, of nuts bolts washers and such. I call it the magic bolt box. If you pay homage and sincerely look, you’ll find what you need. 😄

This, Whenever I set up new spaces, I hit craigslist for used kitchen cabinets, and then put MDF on top with a sheet of Maple quarter inch on top of the lower cabinets for work bench... Regular kitchen cabinets that match above...
 
Some patience and perusal of CL and FBMP and you could find more of these, I got last year for $80 ea, and 6 miles from the house

This Craftsman one from Lowes looks pretty good too for $329 ,but there are a few bad reviews about damage during shipping.
If anything like the smaller 2'x2'1'D wall cabinets... while assembly is quick & "simple", assembly with it coming out anywhere near square and the doors shutting is another thing.
There's just enough slop in the holes for massive misalignment, so square as you go and don't do the final snug until finished.

I read the same thing regarding hidden shipping damage, but had none on the smaller wall cabinets...
 
I'm not finding squat like that on craigslist.

To be fair, these popped up on a neighborhood FB page, they were 2 blocks away
