I was looking into buying these 2 partial sets to put together:

At first
I didn’t realize that there was both heavy duty regular width and these extra wides, which got me diving down a little rabbit hole, because from what’s in the product descriptions the extra wide are as stated, a bit wider per cabinet and possibly about 1 inch taller and do not mix with the regular width set (I was about to purchase a regular and and extra wide set to put together before I noticed this) I have been reading a bunch of reviews and searching around videos, and I can’t seem to find any post or review on the extra wide version which is just making me a little curious if there is anyone on here that maybe could tell me about their experience with these. I have been between husky and NewAge and it seems like both have bad reviews with shipping/returns and fully damaged or dented products but many of these reviews are years old. My father has a new age proline which is a sturdy quality so my other question is this a similar feel to new age quality (husky regularly states 19 or 20gauge steel, not sure why 2 different gauges) My one gripe with the linked sets is I would prefer 2 x 5 drawer tool cabinets but they only sell that 3 piece extra wide with the double doors and I do not have the space to just purchase 2 of the 4 piece sets. On top of that the standalone tool drawer is out of stock.

TLDR; has anyone bought the extra wide sets? Is the quality comparable to newage pro series? If I purchased a regular wide and extra wide set to combine would it not lineup heighth wise? Is there still shipping/returns/damage issues with husky and newage?

Thought I would share my portable workshop setup. I'm mostly dewalt. Had to make this because I needed something I could take to a site and stay in/work from as I build. Quite cozy tbh.

Hello reddit world. Long time user. First timer interact'r (so you know this is serious).

I've recently become the tenant of a lovely little space all of my own. Technically it's an office, but I'm going for more of a workshop / garage vibe, with a nice tech command centre, and espresso set up.

It's 4.3m * 4.1m, I'm unsure how to approach it, and looking for suggestions.

The space is mine for at least 10 years, so I'm in no rush to finish everything immediately, and would like to move section by section.

I've done a temporary tool set up so that I have the bits on hand I need to do the job, but there's at least 2 more boxes of tools and accessories still to come up.

My first port of call is to get some kind of peg board set up for the power tools running top to the bottom on the "shelf" wall, and another on the perpendicular wall for hand tools.

The simplest option seems to be this as it can be formatted and added to as desired https://www.amazon.ie/Amazon-Basics-Rectangular-Metal-Pegboard/dp/B08PDX8MLZ

I'll probably repaint the other walls back to white as a base, and let the aesthetic carry the decorating load.

Putting it into a single sentence, it would be "I'm just making my Casey Neistat's carefully curated crazy office" (don't like the guy, do like his office).

Befores are attached, along with some inspo.

What regrets do you have? What would you do if you were doing it all again?

There's not much budget for this so it'll be likely done piecemeal DIY.
