I just bought my first HF box, the red 5-Drawer Service Cart and man that thing is stout! I'd put it up against any of my old-school Craftsman boxes. I looked at the big boxes too and read a lot of reviews, the consensus seems to be that you can't go wrong um. Well made, strong and a steal for the $$$. The only complaint I've see relates to the matte finish as it is hard to keep clean. Go for it.
I bought one of these a year ago, and I don't regret it in the slightest. The only complaint I have relates to the drawer locking mechanism. If the top of the box isn't opened, the drawers won't open either. There have been more than a few times I was using the top of the box as a makeshift bench, and been unable to open a drawer without clearing off the top and opening it. I haven't gotten angry enough yet to try and modify it, so I don't know if its even possible. Still, not enough to warrant passing up on the box.
