While the U.S. General series 1 was constructed pretty well, the drawers were fairly straight and there was almost no cosmetic damage on my particular cabinet, the slides hold back an otherwise solid box.
What Harbor Freight fails to list in the specs on their website is the slides are rated for 59 pounds. 80 pounds (total) on the drawers with double slides. You don't find that out until you get it home and open the manual, and I'm surprised it's not mentioned more in the reviews. That's approaching Stanley Wal-Mart quality level slides.
The sheet metal is a bit thicker than your average big box store tool cabinet sure, but in the end does that really matter? All it does is add needless weight in my opinion. The goal is to store/organize your tools, not beat your box with a sledgehammer.
I'd much rather have a 21 ga box with 100-200# rated slides than a 19 ga with shitty 59# slides. That is afterall where the actual functionality of a toolbox lies.
While the higher count of shallow height drawers was a plus with the USG for me personally, since the majority of my tools are wrenches, sockets, etc., that's largely negated by the extra depth of this Husky.
Factor in the $100 price difference, the workbench top that can be removed and would probably sell for $50 on its own, and it's just a no brainer for me. The USG ends up being just a heavy cumbersome shell with cheap internals.
Also, not that it's really important, but the smell of that rubber mat on the USG just never went away, even after a month of airing out. That was a bit annoying.
That's just my 2 cents on the Harbor Freight cabinets, you're paying a premium in all the wrong areas if you ask me. I'm not saying run out and replace yours if you have one, just that I think you get more for your dollar with most of the alternatives.

Always wished it was deeper and am happy to upgrade.
shizz is 220lbs. and i only have an rx350
On a side note, this unit does include drawer liners for all drawers and the deep, lower drawers have dual sliders to support more weight. Also the top is fastened to the top, unlike the video form another post may have suggested. Overall, its very much built like the Yukon model from that video.
LOL
I bet they are way younger than you and are expecting everything to their benefit, the way our younger generation is today, without wanting any of the requirements of responsibilities.
LOL

Now if only I could find a replacement for my original large socket set case- the plastic holder is falling apart and (at the time) I didn't know to either backfill with foam or cast it with resin or something to make it lifetime.
I think people should really take a look at both tool chests thoroughly before they make a decision. If you are using this to hold several tools and planning on putting some serious weight on it wouldn't you consider buying something that was more sufficient?
As I said I played around with this specific tool chest along with the Milwaukee 52" and I was disappointed with both.
I was at a Home Depot today and checked out this tool chest. It's really pretty nice with solid drawers, 100 pound slides, double on the big drawers, and a huge wooden work surface on top. I'm not sure that there is anything even comparable at Harbor Freight but I'm glad that you're happy with whatever you got there, even though it was 40% more expensive than this box. I just don't think that you are giving this one a fair chance because of the confusion with the other box in your video.
How much are replacements?
