Constructed out of high-density polyethylene, the Rubbermaid Storage Cabinet Model 7083 is an extremely sturdy cabinet with a high tensile strength. As it is impervious to rust, corrosion, rotting, peeling, and warping, it is virtually indestructible. Unlike steel or wood, polyethylene resists dents and dings that, in a garage, can come from heavy steel tools and equipment especially those with wheels, as well as the car or bike.
The cabinet arrives disassembled but it is a breeze putting the parts together. You actually don’t need any special tool but a soft mallet can help. Its snap-together design allows you to start stowing your stuff shortly after unpacking.
The Rubbermaid Storage Cabinet Model 7083 stands 72 inches, with a width of 36 inches and depth of 18 inches. Its doors open to a 27-cubic feet storage area with four fixed shelves where you can store tools, equipment, hardware materials, as well as cans of paint, oils, cleaning materials, or waxes.
The doors consists of two sets of double doors, one in the upper half and the other in the lower. To break the monotony of plain doors and give them style, their edges and the horizontal portion exactly between them are raised in a relief. Within these are the recessed door handles. To secure your stored items, and to keep any material that may be toxic away from your kids and pets, the doors may be fitted with locks.
The cabinet is lightweight as it is only 68 pounds. However, its shelves have a carrying capacity of slightly more than 10 times as much its own weight.
