Needs re-design
I realized at the outset that for $200, you would not get the same performance vs a fully welded/ assembled unit, which start at $369. I wanted it to store light items, so I thought this would be a good value. The design leaves much to be desired for the reasons cited by other reviewers. The problem is that with each pair of parts you assemble, there are no features to keep them locked together. After partial assembly, you need to stand the cabinet up and it falls apart. I finally resorted to using a 1/8 in diameter x 1/8 long pop rivet to pin each pair of components after they are slid together. In total, this required about 11 rivets and resulted in a very stable cabinet. The doors went together fine and the handle and door bolts are sufficient. Simple redesign could make this a good value product.

You are kidding me!
Assembled it, tried to move it and it collapsed. Reassmbled in place, fairly sturdy. Not as sturdy as cabs purchased assembled 2-3 years ago. Quite flimsy, could actually force it open, I haven't tried, afraid of the damage. I will use it for lighter stuff... Never purchase another....

Descent buy
I bought this for the shop. I do like that it has no nuts and bolts...but it might be easier to assemble if it had some nuts and bolts. I was surprised to find quite a bit of packaging and the steel and paint quality was good. It took our guys about a half hour to put together. Once assembled it is a good cabinet. It's not as good as an all welded cabinet, but serves its purpose.

Leaves a lot to be desired
Assembling this 72" Realspace storage cabinet was a "bear"--needed at least 3 people to get it up--almost impossible to keep it up while putting it together--the back panel comes in 2 pieces (not one), held together only with tabs, not screws. Kind of a flimsy cabinet, and I don't think you can actually put the weight claimed on each shelf. For lightweight things it's OK. There is NO door handle on left door as shown in picture.
