I am having strange feels over this.
US General Pro (Harbor Freight) 44" lower and upper.
The quality of this is impressive and while I wouldn't consider it to be inexpensive, the value is outstanding. Came with drawer liners, handles and even the gas struts for the upper lid. We made it fit in the Ranger. It may have just barely fit in a B-body wagon laying down.
The hard part will be deciding how to sort everything. This is a big deal.

Re: New tool cabinet
Spent a few hours and gathered up many of my tools. I have stuff in all but 2 drawers and even labeled them. This is so awesome.
Top chest
Bottom chest
Before I started, I thought I was going to have a stroke trying to optimize the best way to organize. I just kind of did it on the fly and I think it worked out fairly well. Most things are nicely displayed when you open a drawer, rather than just piled on stuff, which is perfect. The allen/torx/E-socket drawer has a little pile to it but not bad.
Two drawers in the upper chest are unused (future growth margin).
One slightly annoying thing: they all came with paper labels and even a clear covering so you don't smudge up the white label. However, the upper chest came with these little plastic end pieces so the label can't slide out. The labels were cut shorter to make room for this. The lower chest did not come with these end pieces, and the labels were cut to fit the entire width. So someone thought only the upper labels would slip out with use. I don't understand the logic. I may try to find some for the lower chest and obviously cut the labels shorter.
Other than that, these are nice. It is pretty stable with stuff in it. To add more stability, I angled the swivel casters to give just a little more support (more outboard of the CG). I may still try to secure it to the wall using the upper chest handles.
