Very convenient!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The assembly instructions were clear and very easy to follow. The cabinet is very solid and very well designed, as are all other Gladiator items I have purchased. The foldaway work station feature is sturdy enough for most smaller projects and perfect for use as a battery charging station as well. I don't have any photos yet but will update my post once I take some.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Handy Features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Received this a few weeks ago. Love the design with the drop down work station. With the electrical access in the bottom shelf, I am able to store and charge my battery operated tools. This way the tools are concealed fro prying eyes behind the drop down door.

Snappy looking on my wall

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two sections to this review : Packaging/Assembly and Functionality/Aesthetics.
The package arrived in great shape and has the typical Gladiator heavy duty card board, styrofoam & plastic protection of components, and protective film on the cabinet door. There we a hardware package inside that had been torn open and I had several nuts and bolts floating loosely in the box (had plenty to finish assembly).
Assembly was difficult for me and I am not new to Gladiator cabinet assembly. I had difficulty in a couple of areas, orientation of the components, and fastening. As far as orientation, components had "helpful" stickers "up" on them. I am convinced that 2 of the stickers were upside down, and caused me to have to rework connecting the top and bottom to the sides. I will add the "up" doesn't make sense for every component and I would suggest that some of those stickers say "front" or "back" where it makes sense. The problem I had with fastening was with in connecting the mounting plate to the sides and top using the 5/16" Allen-heat bolts. This step is required if you plan to mount the cabinet to Gearwall panels or GearTrack channels. The top is provided with pre-mounted nuts to be used for this purpose, and they must be perfectly aligned in order to fit the bolt through the pre-drilled holes where the sides and top converge. In my case they were not perfectly aligned (one of the pre-mounted nuts was at an angle and would not thread the bolt". I ended up using my own sheet metal screw to make sure I had a good attachment. (see pictures).
Although the gear track mounts were difficult to assemble, the workstation door was easy to assemble.
I provided pictures of the completed cabinet mounted to Gearwall panels, with the door closed and open. I think it looks pretty good and the door opens and closes easily and stays in place as it should. I had the thought that if a person didn't want to put a work bench under wall cabinets, these workstations would be a great substitute for that configuration. One ore more of them along a garage wall gives you an instant work bench when you want it because all you need to do is open the doors. When you don't need to work you can hide your tools and widgets and whatnots behind the door.
If assembly had been more straight forward this would have been a 5 out 5 stars for me.

Great addition to my garage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit has been a great addition to my garage. I use it to store a few items that I want protected easily accessible. I already had a larger workbench, but this unit is great because you always have a clean space to drop items since the workspace pulls down. I use it a lot to place items while I load them into my garage refrigerator. I like the fact that the back is open so you can still use other Gladiator hooks and bins on the GearWall. When it's folded up, the unit is a lot more compact than I anticipated which was nice.
The assembly was a little difficult as you really need two people to carry in the box and for some of the assembly steps. The unit was packed and protected well and arrived without any damage. I would recommend this product.

Space Saving Storage & Workbench Combined Into One
on November 13, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Ready-to-Assemble Foldaway Work Station at the beginning of November 2019. The packaging was perfect and ever piece of the product was well-protected from any potential damage. What I noticed right away was the quality of the material from the fit and finish of the cabinetry to the included hardware was excellent. The work station assembled very easily; following the included instructions I had it together and mounted in about an hour. It was mounted directly to Gladiator Geartrack I had screw fastened to a masonary wall. The sturdy, fold-down stainless steel table is awesome to work on and it folds up securely out of the way when it is no longer needed saving valuable space and also concealing a good size storage area within. Inside this storage area is a cut-out for bringing in electrical cables. Above this concealed storage is an open shelf which is convienent for storing things needed regularly. I am currently using the work station as a convienent way to store and have ready-to-go my motorcycle accessories from helmets to tire pressure gauges, and as an excellent way to keep my motorcycle battery tender set-up and within easy reach.

Excellent product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent product. It is very solid and very easy to put together. Once together, it is sturdy and supports a lot of weight. The fit and finish is very good. I experienced no problems during assembly and am very pleased overall with it. It functions well as a storage cabinet and has the benefit of it having a fold down table. The table has a solid feel and can support a good amount of weight. The only two issues I found were that it is heavy and large. It requires a lot of wall space and one person may have difficulty in hanging but neither issue outweighs actually owning it. This product has a large amount of uses as it can be hung in a trailer or a utility room as well as a garage or workshop. I had sufficient space in my garage and it makes a great addition for storage and use. Overall it is a great product and any buyer will not be disappointed.

Well Built Shelve

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am impressed by how solid this Foldaway Work Station is built. We had a couple of cheap shelves in our laundry room that we were looking to replace and this product fit that bill to a tee. Being able to hide some of the items behind the closed shelf make things seem less cluttered.
Assembly was pretty straight forward and I was able to get everything assembled by myself. One thing of note is if you plan to hang using Gladiator gear tracks you will need 2 48" gear tracks. I happened to have 2 just laying around so it wasn't an issue for me.

Great for small garages!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The clever folding design of this work station allows me to have an extra work surface beyond the one on my workbench and yet I can still fit the car in the garage! Our garage is small because the house is 100 years old, so we have to be smart about the set up. It has solid construction and seems like it will hold up well.
