I just put in some Gladiator Premier Cabinets, at Sears current sale price they are an amazing deal IMO, look at my thread https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...d.php?t=132976
I just cleaned the garage today and took pics.
For the cabinets I used the track system so you can easily move the cabinets, should I want to change my setup the cabinets can slide on the tracks. Definitely worth going to Sears and checking out

These are the exact same ones I have in my garage. They're great.

the best cabinets are lista, no question, however they are overkill even for most commercial applications. see cabinets in virtually all of the racing trailers. sold by griot's garage among others.
after some research i found baldhead cabinets, now in bend oregon. they come in just about any color or combination of colors. they can be configured as you like.
i'm sure that some of the other cabinets are just fine.

I chose the "cheaper" listas thru Griots
note that I have limited space so the cabinets on the right have sliding doors so I can get into them with both cars in the garage. Something to conisder if it applies to you situation.

I enjoy working on the cars. Detailing, maintenance, mods. I think I'd go crazy without one.

Best bang for the buck, in my opinion, is the line of cabinets, benches and rolling carts from Sam's Club...the line is called Seville Classics Ultra HD
.

The steel is easily twice as thick as that in the Gladiator cabinets https://mechanicguides.com/best-garage-cabinets/ The stainless steel is a little fussy (fingerprints, dirt, dust, and grease show up easily) and the doors could use a reinforcement piece in the center to stiffen them up, but other than that, I have zero complaints regarding them.

My total was less than $2000 and I have 2 of the tall cabinets, 2 of the benches, 4 of the roller carts (2 with full drawers, 2 with doors-stacked and mounted on top), 1 of the rolling bench with drawers, 6 of the wall cabinets, 1 desk (no longer available), 1 midsize roller cart (50% larger than the other roller carts-no longer available) and 3 matching butcher-block pneumatic stools (no longer available).

I have been putting Gladiator Premier cabinets in my workshop garage and am very pleased with them. The cabinets are substantial and look nice. Best part is they go on sale frequently. I cut up the shipping boxes and make liners for the shelves so they don't scratch. I also make pegboard brackets for inside of the hanging cabinets. Small stacking totes are good for interior storage and help you maximize the area.

As in post 13, I just installed 3 pieces of Seville Classics. Two 72" tall storage cabs and the 78" long bench. I can highly recommend Seville Classics. Top quality, well designed, packed like its shipping to the moon. Every piece is on HD casters giving the flexibility of changing garage configurations in minutes.
