I've had one of these for the last 18 months or so, think I paid ÂŁ60 back in the day, a great piece of kit though the drawer runners aren't ball raced so can get a bit sticky if you fill the drawers up with too much heavy stuff. Still a great storage solution for the cash though :broon:

Picked mine up this morning, not as good as the Clarke one I have but I intend filling this up with all my AF stuff and leaving it in my workshop where I am restoring my GT6, one thing you do need is some anti slip matting for the drawers, I saw some in a poundshop a few weeks ago, if you by from Machine mart it's ÂŁ20 a roll.

Tesco's do this for 97p a roll (30x150cm) and 2 rolls covers the 6 drawers perfectly with a bit of a trim! :broon:
It's in the DIY/tools bit and works really well.

Huge thanks to the OP! I'm really happy with this cabinet. :D

One thing I would recommend to everyone that has bought one though, would be to lubricate the drawer runners with your own oil as I couldn't see any trace of oil while I was putting it together. the drawers and hinges seem to work a lot smoother with a bit of oil. :broon:

My thanks go to the OP also, made up with mine, just got to anti-slip mat the draws, pop it in the garage and sort out my tools ! ;)
