Storage Cabinets Knowledge Base
searching for garage storage cabinets and workbench? anyone know where to shop for affordable garage storage systems. I like units they sell at Sears by Craftsmen and Gladiator but they are out of my price range. I've checked Home Depot and Menards already. I don't want rubbermaid type. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
What are those storage cabinets called? The cabinet I'm thinking of is fairly large and consists of shallow drawers which may or may not be the same depth. They're used to store specimens or fossils, and are often seen on documentaries. I want to buy or build one of those to store my seashell collection in, but I have no idea what they're called. Also, if you happen to know where I could get one I'd appreciate a link to that source. Thanks in advance!
Whats your opinion on Garage/Tools storage cabinets? Gladiator is a nice line, but expensive. I see they have a cheaper line called Gladiator Cadet. They look very similar to STACK ON. Does anyone know if they are made by the same company? I'd like to buy some garage style cabinets because a rolling tool box like Craftsman really won't work in my garage. Anyone know which brand(s) I should stay away from. You can't always believe the reviews that are posted on the companies web-sites. Thanks.
What gives hotel guests the idea that they can go through hotel storage rooms and cabinets? I work in a hotel. Frequently guests will come into the lobby and start going through the cabinets and drawers. We used to keep sensitive materials in our PRIVATE cabinets but now we've had to move everything until we have locks installed. People will also go through the storage rooms and take whatever they want. This is stealing. My question what makes people feel entitled to go through cabinets and storage rooms in a hotel when they would never dream of doing this at any other public place? Some peole continue looking after they have been assisted or reprimanded....

small free standing wicker linen storage cabinets? I've been looking on ebay at a few wicker (small) free standing linen or towel storage cabinets. I'm hesitant to buy on ebay in case it turns out to be a piece of junk. I would then have to pay shipping to return. Who sells these small little wicker storage cabinets? They use to be easy to find but that's not the case lately. I just want something small to butt against my white bathroom vanity to hold items such as toothpaste, combs, shampoo, misc. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. My bathroom is small and I have everything in white to make it appear bigger and brighter. Thank you.

Possible Mice infestation in my apartment because of free space behind storage cabinets, what to do? I had a blanket, sheets, and towels stored there where I found droppings which is how I discovered this. I put the items in trash bags for now and plan to wash them in hot water and bleach? Can I ask the apartment complex to pay to do the laundry since it is not my fault the mice are here as I don't have food on the floor and it is not filthy but It is due I believe to the mice looking for a warm home and they've found it in spaces not blocked off behind the cabinets. It is only in a tiny room where the cabinets are and I believe they are nestig back behind there and they can climb because there are even droppings on the 4th shelf up high where I keep papers/bills etc.. How can I sanitize the (mock I think) wooden cabinets? Anything else I should do? Maintenance won't be out until Monday I'm sure.

Using ikea kitchen cabinets and counter tops for tool storage and workbench? Has anyone ever used Ikea kitchen furniture to create a workspace in the basement/garage? My plan is to use two kitchen cabinets for tool storage and put wooden butcher block on top (about 70") to use as workbench. Plus I'll get a clothing closet (with shelves and drawers) to keep rest of the tools and stuff hidden and organized. Plan to use 10" drill press and miter saw on the counter top, plus misc hammering etc. And there'll be a perforated tool board on the wall behind counter top. Is there any obvious problem with my plan? :)

Where can I find a dining room table that converts to a cabinet with chair and leaf storage underneath? While growing up my aunt and uncle had a table like this. When not in use it looked like a nice buffet cabinet. When you opened the doors on the front you were able to pull out the table. Underneath there was storage for extra leaves and the chairs.

Does any one else know what I'm talkeing about?
Replacing master bathroom cabinets? We need to rip out and replace our master bathroom cabinets (dual sink). They are water damaged and have no drawers. We don't want anything fancy, just simple cabinets with drawers, under sink storage and a simple countertop. The space isn't that large, 21 1/8 deep and 37 5/8 long. Approximately how much would this cost? Is Home Depot a good place to go to buy the cabinets and have them installed? I don't want to get ripped off but this is our first attempt at remodeling so we are a bit clueless. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Am I able to claim a filing cabinet for Tax file/receipts Storage purposes? It's actually quite cheap not really worth the effort, but I am having an arguement with a friend; would like to know who will win. It is not for business, it's for personal income tax filing. What I mean is, we probably need to keep receipts and the tax filing papers of some sort, or some tax rulings, or stocks or properties purchases or sales right? So would claiming a filing cabinet for personal under such reason be justifiable?
Kitchen cabinets and sockets? I' m preparing to move into a flat and the kitchen has no wall cabinets. I'm thinking of fitting some myself, but the available wall space has 4 different plug sockets.

plans/designs for a typical high school woodshop class tool storage cabinet with lockable doors.? I have been looking to create a storage cabinet for a wood working shop like the ones I remember in high school, but don't want to start from scratch. Are there any plans/designs or something pre-built that I would be able to purchase. I was looking at something that would be aprox. 72"Hx96"Wx24"D with hinged fold out deep doors that would accomodate hand tools to be stored on the inside of the doors. The doors would be aprox. 8" deep. The military might have something like this, but I haven't had the chance to serve so I don't know if this exists in the armed forces. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Thomas
Do I need a "File and Storage Cabinet" for my new room ? I am confused . I have lots of bills and papers ( college loan , car informations etc etc..) in my room and I have very limited space in my new room. I am very confused and a little scared because of how un organized I am right now . I like to keep up with the payments I have so I don't mess up by paying late fees or collections. But the papers and letters and bills are so unorganized I need something to put them all in and organize. Currently I store them in my shoe box. I have a total of maybe 100 letters , 100 papers and some small files. I was looking at staples.com and found out " files and storage cabinet" . That seems like a luxury for my needs right now. I just need something simple , probably made of clear plastic . Unfortunately I don't even know what it's called - Letters and Paper Storage Box ? ? hmm.. What do you think I need to buy so I can put them in , and be organized.. Something very cheap since I am on a budget. Thanks . What Should I do ?
Do Yankee Candles have a long shelf life? I have a ton of candles and was just wondering if they will go bad or if the scent will fade over time. I keep my candles inside my storage cabinets in my utility room,which is dark and at room temp. Of course the lids are on them tight too.
Where can I throw old cabinets, beds, fridges, etc. away? My dad's been raking in the furniture in the house, replacing furniture after furniture. It's fine, but the problem is that he just stores (or in my opinion, dumps) the old furniture either in storage rooms in the house OR in the backyard where it gets rained on and rots. That, or he puts them in either his room or my room for "safe keeping" which in my opinion just procrastination. The bigger problem now is that he said he's getting new furniture for my small room. I don't need anymore, but I'm eager to get alot of stuff out of my room at the same time and not be stored anywhere in the house like what my dad does. Heck, I'd love it if I can dump it somewhere where it can get encinirated or something. I mean old cabinets, beds, etc. So are there any places where I can throw these bigger items away? From beds to cabinets to broken fridges, are there any places where I can dispose of them? Is it free? If not, how much will it cost?

How to work with an oblong open LR/DR & kitchen area? Late 70's/early 80's ranch with the lost, forgotten, long, useless hallway in center of house, running almost length of house. You enter the front door into the LR. (Look way...left, you can see Kit. sink/window at far end of house) On Left of LR is DR area (in same oblong room). On the DR's Left side wall is a dbl. doorway opening, into a u shaped kitchen (?thinking of removing this doorway & remaining wall, for 1 long room?) (used to have french doors there). Cabinets are on each side of the sink/window wall. The Left side wall has counter,stove,counter & frig. The right side wall has dishwshr, bar/storage & cabinets (?Take this R. side out? Maybe an island in open part of the U to divide up?) Hard to describe. GOAL: A LR/DR/kit combo thats open, airy and loses the "country" feeling and moves towards a more formal feeling (if that's even possible?) I'm no good at decorating & want to keep expenses at minimum.
