Typical challenges in storing tools and small parts
Lack of space despite large shelves

Lack of quality
Replicas of the vertical cabinets are often made from very thin steel sheets for cost reasons, which quickly deform. Especially when storing heavy tools, the material or the connections give in way too early.
