Tool Station have this Draper one but its a bit smaller

I've got the Halfords professional ones, that one and the base drawer trolley. Drawers on bearings, solid quality, no complaints. IIRC I got both as a sale bundle for reasonable money.

I’ve got that Halfords one, the middle one and the roll cab for it to sit on. I’m ridiculously happy with it. No issues at all.

I bought a couple of Clarke HD tool chests a while back. Bit expensive, but they are nice and robust.

I have a “US Pro” chest which has always been good. I was gifted it so never knew what it cost, but it seems there are some good deals available on those too
https://usprotoolboxes.com/product-category/sale/
Edit : mine is actually an “American Pro” which is at least 18yrs old and still going strong. Can’t see any for sale though so I guess they Closed down or rebranded - I have no idea If US Pro is the same company
2nd edit (ffs) - it looks like they are actually now “Sealey American Pro” ?

Was just looking for some wall mounted tool shelving earlier, that site is very well priced so may get one.

US Pro is good kit. I used SGS for my garage and am
Very pleased, I got the 41” chest which is lovely. A US pro side box as a free-standing set of drawers to go along with it.

The sealy one looks good and are a bit cheaper from amazon. Interesting.

My local Homebase has loads of similar tool chests out on display. Might be worth going to have a look at some to get an idea of what things you like or don’t like about different designs?

Machine mart might also be a good one for looking around if you have one local
