This stuff isn't that heavy-duty, we have it at my work on display and I can't see it holding up very well to heavy abuse.

If you can fab with metal, you should be able to fab with wood. You can build custom cabinets & buy some decent wood working tools for the price of some of those lame 'garage systems'. Another option is just check craigslist or find a carpenter in your area & have him build you some custom cabinets. Help your local economy out a little & get better quality to boot.

Looks cheap to me. Sears makes some cabinets like that. Never looked at them closely.

Try Sam's Club too, it's hit or miss, but sometimes, they have some nice stuff for the garage, I recall seeing some nice cabinets there at one time....but I think they buy in big lots then sell it off, and sometimes they don't buy them again.
