Costco's Garage Cabinets Make Storing & Organizing Tools Easier Than Ever

Tools are one of those things that often pile up in the garage, filling shelves and drawers until the space is nearly overflowing. It's easy to keep accumulating them because, really, you never know when you might need a specific wrench or a certain drill bit. In this vein, there's really no reason to get rid of tools if they're still functional. That's where proper storage and organization come into play. For some people, the answer may be an added storage area like a massive two-story barn shed. For others, a more functional solution involves investing in a garage shelving system. Costco — which also happens to be known for its high-quality home and garden tools — is currently selling garage cabinets from two makers, New Age Products and TRINITY.

The New Age garage cabinets, which come in a variety of color options, range from the seven-piece set, which retails for $1,499.99, to the 14-piece set, priced at $5,499.99. These cabinets are engineered for heavy use; lockers have a weight capacity of 1,000 pounds, while most drawers hold at least 100. They also come with an industrial paint finish that renders them stain, scratch, and rust-resistant.

The TRINITY 18-gauge steel garage cabinets available at Costco also come in a variety of sizes, including the six-piece, which costs $1,199.99 and the 13-piece set priced at $4,799.99. They have a modular design, meaning you can move them around and create the storage space that works best for you.

With the least-expensive option priced over $1,000, Costco's garage cabinets are not an inexpensive purchase, but they are often worth the investment. Reviews of New Age cabinets show that while most customers were satisfied with their purchases, several reported that their orders arrived damaged, likely due to shipping issues. Many also found the company's customer service difficult to navigate. Their advice is to unpack your cabinets with caution and to document any packaging damage with notes and photos.

In contrast, TRINITY cabinets received better reviews overall, with one customer labeling them as one of their "best ever" Costco purchases. Similar to New Age, it's not uncommon for some pieces to arrive with minor damage, which seems typical for such large and heavy deliveries.

For both products, standard shipping with curbside delivery is included in the price. Reviewers noted that this means you are responsible for transporting the boxes to your garage, unpacking them (and disposing of the substantial amount of cardboard!), as well as assembling the cabinets. While most customers reported that both brands are relatively easy to assemble, they require at least two people due to their weight, so planning ahead is advisable.
