This May Be The Best Garage Cabinet System, According To Reviews

Garages can often be dumping grounds, and while there are plenty of garage storage ideas that will inspire the handyperson in you, there's no getting away from the fact that a well-designed store-bought system can offer a lot of versatility and is a much quicker route to sorting out that mess. It is also something to bear in mind if a move might be on the horizon, because garage storage can affect your home's resale value.

The Husky 4-Piece Extra Wide Heavy Duty Welded Steel Garage Storage System appears to be a popular solution and has received a lot of positive comments, rated 4.3 out of 871 reviews. It's exclusive to The Home Depot, and is on sale for $1,469.99 (down from $2,099.99). So, is this the best garage cabinet system around? We've been checking independent reviews and buyer feedback to find out.

First, let's look at what you get for your money. The system comprises a tall locker, two wall cabinets, and a base cabinet. Each is made from heavy-duty 20-gauge steel and comes pre-assembled, so all you need to do is remove the packaging and install. High-quality construction is underlined by the amount of weight each piece can support: 120 pounds for the drawer, 200 pounds for the top of the cabinet, and 350 pounds for each adjustable shelf. For security (and to keep inquisitive children away from potentially harmful products), each cabinet has its own lock.

Reviewers can be difficult to please. It could be argued that their job is to find fault. Yet, feedback on the Husky cabinets is largely very positive. One rated it as their best overall garage storage system. Another praised the amount of space provided. The majority of customers are also pleased with their purchase. One said, "Looks great and holds a lot. The cabinet drawers are spacious. The craftsmanship of the material is very strong." Another was happy to have "a messy disorganized garage transformed to a beautiful neat and functional garage and work area."

There is one fly in the ointment. Quite a few people are critical of the packaging, which offers minimal protection. While cabinets can be collected, they are quite bulky, so having them delivered is a common choice. Unfortunately, damage in transit is not uncommon, and getting replacements can be a frustrating experience.

However, that isn't a criticism of the cabinets themselves, and the overwhelming conclusion is that yes, Husky may be the best garage cabinet system. If you don't fancy the idea of DIYing some heavy-duty shelving, it's an investment many feel is well worth making. That said, there's a lot of competition, and it's certainly worth shopping around. Benches and additional cabinets in different configurations are available at Home Depot, so you can add to the system if your needs change.
