Customer Reviews for Sandusky Steel Freestanding Garage Cabinet in Dove Gray (36 in. W x 72 in. H x 18 in. D)

This is for the 72" version of this. It is so flimsy and poorly constructed that we could hardly get it assembled. Terrible instructions and the various tabs and slots painted shut. Arrived flat on a pallet though the box says "do not lay flat." Terrible product.

A little difficult for one person but, with the help of a little duct tape down the back seam to hold it together while standing it up, had it assembled and in place in less than an hour.

Easy to assemble but would have been better with two people. There were a couple of minor problems but nothing bad. Good and sturdy once the assembly is completed.

New click together put together was appreciated by my handyman who put together all three.

If you were to ask how to spell garbage this knock off of the good SANDUSKY, Made In America cabinets would be it. I spoke with the AMERICAN Sandusky Cabinet company and they indicated the good cabinets I wanted to buy are not the Chinese junk version you see here. THE REAL SANDUSKY Cabinet you want is model # CA41361872, DONT fall for the trap like I did and let this site dupe you into the RTA7000-05, you will regret the time it took to get it and how flimsy it is.

The cabinet is working well now that I have it located where I needed it and I am happy with how it looks and functions. On the flip side, the way the panels hook together with the sliding fasteners makes for easy assembly, but a trade off is the panels are not locked together very securely. The first time I tried moving the cabinet a few feet after putting it together, some of the panels became detached from one another and I had to take the cabinet nearly completely apart to get the parts reconnected. Likely if there had been a means provided for firmly locking together the panels after they were fit together, for example with a few screws or bolts, this would have made the assembled cabinet more stable (or is something one could easily do on your own). The way the panels are held together is not an issue now that I will not be moving the cabinet and the cabinet seems very stable for normal use. Mainly I wanted to relay that one needs to be careful when shifting the location of the cabinet. If it gets flexed in an inappropriate way, the unit may start to come apart.

These cabinets were so cheaply made, they fell apart when sliding them into place. No hardware with them...the tabs where flimsy. Would not ever recommend these to anyone.

Easy pick up process at Home Depot, very helpful. Cabinet went together quickly and easily. Seems sturdy enough for heavy use, more so than I first thought. I would buy this again, and probably will.

Not as sturdy as they used to be. It snaps together so if it has to be laid down once together, it comes apart.

Very easy to assemble and provides ample storage.

They are flimsy metal, had bends and dings and the slip together tabs are awful

very nice looking and easy to put together

The cabinet suits my needs but was not a sturdy as I had expected. The assembly was a challenge because of the thin metal and flimsy connections. I probably will not buy another one.

Very good

It fairly thin gauge metal but does assemble easily. It really needs some leveling feet.

Definitely a two person job. It went together great and functions very well. I would definitely buy another.

I mistakenly ordered not realizing it needed assembly. Good design to ship ; horrible design for assembly; instructions could be better; thin flimsy panels; very frustrating to assemble; Don't buy this!

Very cheap quality. Do not buy!!

very thin steel plates.not enough strong.

I wasn’t happy with it. Very thin metal that locks together, after putting together tried to move it it totally unfolded and bend up. Would be better if it was a bolt together. Ended up welding up to make it rigid

POOR QUALITY!!! CAME DAMAGED BUT THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE OK. BUT WAS VERY WEAK AND FLIMSY. RETURNED.

It’s a very good cabinet

Very flimsy. Immediately after it was assembled it tried and doors closed easily. After filling its shelves --we are storing heavy rolled rugs in it--the doors no longer closed without a lot of shoving and jamming. Then there was a small unesthetic gap at top of one door.

The storage unit came completely damaged. Three of the panels were heavily bent. I was not happy with this item at all.

Works fine. Door was slightly dented coming straight out of the box.

These cabinets are the perfect size for our needs. We had to empty a walk-in supply closet and five of these were able to hold most of the contents. They are sturdy, hold a great deal and bonus, they lock. Would highly recommend!

Not happy both units were dented and bent in several areas needed a lot of TLC to fix with a pliers and patients. Need to install because of our time line. Contacted company waiting for a response..
