I got really excited when I saw something very close to this online. It's actually much less expensive at the warehouse stores.
Amazon.com: 72 Wide 15 Drawer Stainless Steel Anti-Fingerprint Tool Chest with Work Station: Home Improvement
We needed a new island and this is right up my alley.
Brought it home, unpacked it and am now surrounded by about 40 large pieces. Now I'm thinking I should have bought the floor model. :)
All the cabinets/drawers in the world still wouldn't get my husband to return any tool where it belongs after he used it. I had to create my own bag of tools to keep in a desk drawer so that i'd be able to find what I needed when I needed it.
Nifty looking chest...good luck getting it put together (I hate "assembly required"...I let Bob find the necessary tools and do it for me.)
How is it made "anti-fingerprint" I wonder?
I love the other one on the Amazon site with the cabinet door on one side. Our family chef would probably love that, too, just not the price. I kind of like assembly required projects, as long as the one crucial little piece isn't missing! You know, that one piece? I'd rather have a handful of extras than not have one piece without which you cannot continue assembly.
well with the prices for new kitchen remodels...I predict many a change in the future...I just got quoted 14k for new countertops..bs no way.
That went well!
The fingerprint resistant finish is a powdered coating and does not take stainless steel cleaners. It's cleaned with a mild soap and buffed with a microfiber cloth.
I really liked this company - UltraHD (not the one in the picture - I couldn't find that one on amazon anymore). They loaded the hardware and provided a magnetized screwdriver. I had all of the pieces and much more hardware than I needed which was great because I dropped about 20 pieces and they just rolled away but I could just grab out of the bag without wondering if I needed to hunt the others down. Also, the top is hardwood, not rubberized.
This unit was $399 at the warehouse store. It turns out that people are buying them up then selling them online for 2-3 times the price.
Here's the pic. I had to wait for my husband to help with the door installation. A two person job since the hinges kept falling off.
I followed the instructions to the letter. They started with "Open a large bottle of red wine and start drinking" so that's what's going on in the left hand corner. :D
Try a scrap place. I bought a lot of corian for $250, cut to size. If you don't need large pieces and don't care much about the color, you could be good.Quote:

Cleared out the old island, put the new one in and it is just so pretty. This is a happy moment. And wine just makes everything so much better.
