Black and Decker Garage Cabinets

[Jim Jacobs]

If anyone has any experience with the new Blacker and Decker wall cabinets could you please share. I saw them at Lowes the other day but they do not show up on the B&D website so I am assuming they are a relatively new product.

I got 3 of the floor ones -- about 5' high, shipped knocked down, at Lowes. About $75 each.

1. They don't rust -- I'm near the Atlantic ocean in DE. Painted steel would be out of the question.

1. It occasionally took a tap with a rubber mallet to coax them together. Had to use a utility knife in a couple of places to get the "flash" off of the plastic pieces.

2. They look great! Clean up with windex, or the liek.

1. I need to shore up the shelves, as they do seem to sag under excessive weight, like cans of paint. I'll move them to the bottom.

2. I did not bolt them to the wall, but their are provisions to do so. I need to be able to easily move them on occasion.

1. They need to be level (a little shimming with cardboard), or they don't close right. No surprise here.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied. The wall mount ones might be a little different.
