If you want something heavy duty, you want to buy this versus the ready-to-assemble (RTA) versions. These are welded construction. Having looked at the ready to assemble versions and compared it to this the welded versions are vastly superior. I am glad I purchased the 'premium' versions. If you want something just to look nice, but won't be doing much that is heavy duty, the RTA versions are probably fine.

Now the details:

Pros:
Price - overall as compared to competition, after much web searching, is fairly reasonable. They occassionally are 'on sale' on amazon and offer a really unbeatable price too all competition out there.
Casters - The caster set is included. I don't know anyone who puts this kind of heavy equipment for a garage directly on the floor. Keep this in mind when comparing prices between the RTA, but I don't think the casters are included in the RTA version of this item.
Easy Assembly - Assembly of the casters took 15 minutes.
Key Lock - There is a key lock that allows for easy movement without drawers opening or guarding your tools if you are using this at a jobsite / shared shop.
Construction - The welded construction is done very well. This can definitely support the amount of load they specify it to hold.
Door - The doorways have a built in magnetic strip that helps hold the doors closed. they didn't use a single magnet, but a strip of magnet which allows the entire door to look flush to the equipment. I have often had equipment where the 1 little magnet falls out or the door is bent and thus will no longer sit flush. I doubt the magnetic strip would hold the door was bent badly, but you could just bend the door back flat until it was close enough.
Hanldles - Flush door handles are a huge plus, especially for anyone who has ever caught their clothing etc. on a handle that sticks out on equipment.

Cons:
None that I can think of. I own 1 of these and three of the Gear Drawers and plan on buying multiple more as I build my home machine shop. This review is similar to my review of the Gladiator GarageWorks GAGD275DRG Premier Modular GearDrawer, as I have been very pleased with that item.

Gladiator products are top of the line. This is my 2nd Gearbox Cabinet. Can't say enough about the high quality.

This product is exactly what I expected. The cabinet was delivered in excellent conditon and well packaged. I thought it would have to be assembled but it arrived completely assembled with only the casters needing assembly. It is a great addition to my garage storage needs.

I desperately needed more storage for my bulkier tools at work. Looking through the tool truck catalogs at "lockers" that would fit my rolling cabinet I became more and more discouraged. Prices in the low thousands of dollars for storage. I couldn't justify it. Then I came across this on Amazon. More cubic feet of storage room, portable and in its own attractive package. All for less than a used "locker" with not more than 2/3 the storage capacity. Forget tradition! When I need more room I will buy another one of these!

Love the Gladiator rolling storage cabinets. I needed two of these for the garage and, knowing that garages get messy, I wanted cabinets that could be moved easily. These are strong with well-balanced construction. The doors close magnetically and also can be locked. The rollers are heavy duty and are easily locked in place. The price is about right for such good quality.

The sizing here at Amazon and on the gladiator site claims that the cabinet is 66" tall. I just got 2 today from another local store and they measure under 60". I double checked the part # and I do have the GATB302DRG, its on the gladiator ID tag on the cabinet and the box it came in.

I am wall mounting mine and expected to have a 66" tall cabinet. I guess if you mounted the casters (wheel kit) that comes with it, it would be approx 66" tall measure from the floor.

Buyer beware!
