Plastics are ubiquitous in today’s world. People wake up to an alarm clock encased in plastic. They shuffle sleepily to the kitchen to brew a cup of coffee, first grinding the beans in a grinder housed in plastic, the pouring them into the coffeemaker with a plastic casing. They may want to take their coffee while sitting on plastic barstools. Throughout the day more plastics are seen and used. This is because these materials are durable, attractive, and inexpensive.
Plastics are also used for storage cabinets. One such cabinet is Sterilite 01408501 Base Cabinet. It is approximately 36 inches high, 26 inches wide, and 19 inches deep. With these measurements, it can accommodate plenty of your tools, equipment, or any other gear you have to store.
It has two heavy-duty rugged shelves that can be adjusted to different levels. This expands your storage options as it allows you to store large or bulky items leaving only a minimum of empty space inside the cabinet. Thus, you can keep your small hand tools as screwdrivers, pairs of pliers, hammers, or wrenches on the upper shelf and move it upwards leaving only a small gap between it and the cabinet top. This leaves plenty of space in the bottom shelf for your power grinders, nailers, or cans of paint, oil, or chemicals. Each of the shelves can carry as much as 40 lbs.
The storage area is closed with two doors that swing out with ease. Closure is secure, with the doors designed to accommodate a regular-sized padlock. The opening handles are at the top of the doors, spanning their entire width. These are colored putty, which provides a highlight to the platinum finish of the rest of the cabinet.
