This is the perfect system to use for garage storage, where wooden or metal cabinets would be likely to get dinged by yard tools, cars, and so on.
The cabinet is easy to assemble-you don’t need tools to do it, though a soft mallet may be helpful. As you expect with Rubbermaid products, the cabinet is almost indestructible. The one complaint I had is that when I put mine together in my basement the unevenness of the floor caused a slight misalignment of the doors. This was easily corrected with a shim placed under the front edge.
Notable plusses include lightweight construction that makes relocating the cabinets easy and an amazingly small footprint for what it can hold. If you intend to store toxic items, you may want to consider ordering a set of locks from the manufacturer.
Looking for affordable storage for your basement or garage? This is the unit for you.

This is the best storage product I have ever bought. It took only 15 minutes to assemble this unit without tools. It fits neatly along the wall and you can pack a lot of stuff in it. The shelves are very sturdy and can hold heavy items without bending. It’s easy to open and I would definitely buy more from this vendor. They came earlier than expected and they were exactly as advertised. I wish they came in more colors.

After doing a considerable amount of shopping for outdoor storage (at big box stores and on-line) I finally decided on this. Once I understood that this was not watertight, I decided to take a chance since it would be protected by my carport roof and not directly exposed to the rain. After a few weeks and several downpours, I am pleased with the purchase but note that I found it for significantly less than what it is offered for here.
I can see where it would not be appropriate for heavy paint cans or other heavy items as the shelves are only plastic, but again, for the price, I don’t think it can be beat. My stuff is hidden from view, protected from the elements, and I was not about to spend $200+ for storage.
Also, I might point out that the instructions are printed on the outside of the box (which posed some temporary head scratching since the shipper wrapped non removable strapping tape on it), but it was not that complicated to assemble. All it took was a rubber mallet and about 30 min
