[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Gladiator Workstation about a month ago. I was really excited to receive it, because I have been wanting a place to store my different battery charges for my lawn mower, drill, & weed trimmer. I have been storing them on my workbench. This was impractical, because they were always in my way.
I noticed right away, the Gladiator Workstation was well packed and all of the pieces were easy to remove from the packaging. All of the pieces were correctly labeled and the instructions were clearly written. Drawings were included, which assisted in getting the workstation assembled correctly.
I had a place I knew I wanted to install the workstation, which is just to the left of my workbench over an electrical outlet. The workstation is designed with a upper shelf, center shelf, & a lower shelf, which also has a pass through to allow power cords or extension cords to be ran to an electrical outlet sitting directly below the workstation.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE WORKSTATION
What I love about the lower shelf, it has a dropdown door with an inner stainless steel panel. The door can fold down or up when not in use. It is secured in the up position with to pressure clips located on both the right and left side. What makes the fold-down door a great feature, is it allows me to place the charging cradles on the lower shelf, fold the shelf up and you can not see them. It makes for a cleaner appearance. When I need to charge a battery, I simply lower the door and I can either leave the charger on the inner shelf or sit it on the drop-down door and charge my batteries.

I have also found that the shelf makes a great place to for my wife, while working with flower pots. My wife is able to lower the drop-down door, place the flower pots on the stainless steel door and transfer a plant from one pot to another or add soil or fertilizer.
With the drop-down door being stainless steel, it make clean-up a breeze

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THE WORKSTATION
Unfortunately, I did run into one issue with the workstation. Assembly was easy and straightforward. All of the necessary hardware was included. However, One of the side pieces. It is the left side as your face the workstation, had a threaded screw hole, that was not threaded correctly from the factory. I was able to install all of the other screws with no problem.

I reached out to Gladiator and they shipped me a replacement piece at NO CHARGE! I was very pleased with how quickly Gladiator replied to my request. Unfortunately, the second piece had the same issue. This is on of the threaded screws holes, used to secure the wall hanging bracket.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I did not reach back out to Gladiator about this, but instead installed the workstation on my wall using two Gladiator GearTracks with end caps, to give it a finished look. The GearTracks were easy to install and placing the workstation on the GearTracks was easy and straightforward.

I may later replace the GearTracks with GearWall Panels which would allow for more installation choices. However, the location on installation puts the dropdown door about the same height as my workbench.
This is a great storage unit and even with the issue of the threads on one of the panels, I would purchase this again. I think it is one of the better storage solutions Gladiator offers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was shopping around for some flexible storage that could also be used as a temporary work surface. This fit the bill perfectly. It matches the rest of my gladiator cabinets and flooring perfectly. I use the top shelf to store liquids. Inside the cabinet are all my chargers which allow for a relatively clean look. I also have my soldering iron inside Incase I need to make a quick fix. I try not to sit as much at home since my work has me sitting at my desk most of the day. I installed it at a height that gives me a comfortable work surface while standing. Quality is great and looks like it will last for years. Great product that I can highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was easy to assemble, like the open shelf, and a door to hide away some things. I hung it on the Garageworks wall panel. The level of the fold down shelf is perfect for my Gladiator work bench, creating a much lager work area.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fold Away Work Station arrived well packed - a couple of tears in the sturdy box with exposure of the styrofoam [acking, but no scrathes pr dents at all tot he item. Once opened, I realized two things: it’s BIG and the manufactire [acked it WELL. There are the typical Styrofoam corners; each individual metal component is sealed in plastic, and most importantly LABELED with the part ID and a directional arow sowing which wayit is to be assembled - THANK YOU Gladiator! Metal parts are also separated by cardboard for protection from damage and scratches. The hardware has a smooth finish. The work station goes together fairly well - use CARE when inserting bolts and avoid stripping. I ended up having 3 bolts left over - 2 were stripped and one could not be inserted intot he misaligned holes. In general though, I was please with how easily it assembled and how sturdy it is.
I assembled and attached it to a Gear Wall by myslef. This is an area where it’s critical that the surface of your Gear Wall is plane. The upper and lower hangers are 42” long and they sit in the Gear Wall grooves. If the Gear Wall is not plane and sticks out anywhere, the work station will not attach solidly.
One tip - using a good quality 3/16” hex wrench with a ball end makes assembly easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This workstation is just the right size for small jobs. It is built very well and provides enough space for small tools, books and you can add a power strip so you can recharge your tools where you store them. When closed it looks similar to the other Gladiator shelving units so nice addition to your overall design.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this to add to my current Gladiator Garage cabinets. It matches perfect with the rest of the garage and compliments the whole garage. It took about an hour to put together. I did need to square off the shelf before tightening all the bolts.
