HPDMC Garage Storage Cabinet System 9-Pcs Workshop Set Garage Cabinets and Storage System with Steel Cabinet Drawers, Rolling Chest, Workbench, Pegboard for Garage Tool Organization, Black and Grey

Why I chose the HPDMC 9-piece system

I wanted a cohesive, no-drama storage solution that could command one wall of a two-car garage without feeling cobbled together. The HPDMC 9-piece system checked the right boxes on paper: two tall lockers, three uppers, a pair of base cabinets, a rolling 4-drawer chest, a 71-inch workbench, and three steel pegboard panels—built from cold-rolled steel with welded construction and a durable coating. After several weeks of setup and daily use, here’s how it actually stacks up.

Setup and installation

This is a freight-sized project. The system arrived palletized and heavy (a bit over 500 pounds total). Plan for a clear driveway, a second set of hands, and a basic assortment of tools: socket set, level, stud finder, impact driver, and a good tape measure. Inspect the shipment carefully before signing—big sets like this can have a tough trip, and it’s easier to resolve issues right away.

Unpacking was straightforward and the components were well-protected. I spent a long half day getting everything placed, leveled, and anchored. The long wall run is about 130 inches wide and 18.5 inches deep, which fits nicely along one wall of a standard two-car garage while leaving room to walk around vehicles. The tall lockers include adjustable leveling feet, which made it easy to compensate for my slightly sloped slab. The wall cabinets absolutely need to hit studs; mark those carefully and be patient getting them level across all three units.

The workbench and base cabinets went together cleanly. I recommend loosely fitting all fasteners first, then final-tightening after you confirm alignment and gaps. It’s doable solo, but you’ll save time and frustration with a helper for the uppers and bench alignment.

Build quality and design

The structure is cold-rolled steel with all-welded seams in key areas, and a hard-wearing coating that has already shrugged off a few accidental scuffs from lumber and a floor jack handle. Panel steel isn’t ultra-thick, but the framing and welds do the heavy lifting, and the whole setup feels solid when anchored. Doors align well once squared, and the locks are handy for keeping solvents and pricier tools out of reach. I wouldn’t call the locks high security, but they’re appropriately functional for a garage environment.

Fit and finish were better than I expected at this price tier: consistent paint, clean edges, and no misaligned holes. The overall look—black and gray—reads modern and subdued rather than shouty, which I appreciate. It looks like a unified system rather than mismatched pieces.

Storage and organization

• Tall lockers: Each has two doors and three adjustable shelves rated for 150 pounds. I loaded one locker with paint cans and bulk fastener organizers, and the other with power tool cases and seasonal gear. The shelves hold steady with minimal flex at practical loads. There’s enough vertical range to stand larger cases or a shop vac on the bottom.
• Base cabinets: The one-drawer bases under the workbench are good for frequently used hand tools, measuring gear, and consumables. Drawer action is smooth and confident, with no racking when fully loaded with sockets and drivers.
• Rolling chest: The four-drawer unit is the utility player. The casters roll freely, and the chest tucks under the bench or rolls out to the car when you’re doing a brake job. Drawers open fully enough to see the back row of tools without digging.

Overall, capacity punches above its footprint, and the mix of tall, base, and rolling storage makes it easy to keep “everyday” tools accessible and stash bulky items behind doors.

Workbench experience

The 71-inch work surface is the heart of the system. Mounted between the two base cabinets, it provides a stable platform for layout, small assembly, and tool tuning. It doesn’t pretend to be a heavy machinist bench, but for DIY, automotive, and woodworking prep work, it’s steady and rattle-free. I mounted a cordless tool charging strip along the back edge and still have room to work comfortably at the front.

The pegboard system

The three steel pegboard panels are a standout. They’re far more rigid than fiberboard pegboard, so you can hang heavier tools with confidence. The hole pattern on mine is compatible with standard 1/4- and 1/8-inch peg hooks as advertised, but I found the best results using “locking” style hooks designed for square-hole steel panels; they stay put and don’t wiggle free when you pull down heavier items. If you already own a pile of round-peg hooks, they’ll work, but plan to cherry-pick a few locking hooks for your most-used tools.

Day-to-day use

After loading it up and working out of it for several weeks, I’ve had a tidy setup that genuinely speeds up workflow. A few notes from daily use:

• The doors and drawers stay aligned if you take your time on the initial leveling and wall anchoring.
• The coating resists stains and cleans with a microfiber cloth; oil and dust don’t seem to cling.
• The rolling chest gets the most use—being able to bring it to the workpiece is a big upgrade over fixed drawers.
• With the weight of the system and proper anchoring, there’s no rocking or tinny panel vibration when closing doors.
• Pegboard keeps the bench clear; I mounted a row of drivers, pliers, and layout tools above the work area so nothing migrates to the surface.

What I’d change

• Delivery and handling: This is a large, heavy shipment. It’s not unique to HPDMC, but plan for freight-day logistics, space to stage components, and a helper.
• Pegboard hook clarity: Because the panels accept multiple hook styles, it would be helpful if the kit included a small starter set of locking hooks or clearer guidance on which types fit best.
• Panel stiffness in wide spans: While structurally sound, the broad door panels exhibit a bit of “oil can” flex if you press hard in the center. It’s cosmetic more than functional, but worth noting if you’re chasing a tank-like feel.

Who it’s for

• Homeowners and DIYers who want a cohesive storage wall that fits a standard two-car garage without custom fabrication.
• Light professional use in a small shop, detailing bay, or maintenance room where organization and locked storage matter.
• Anyone tired of mixing and matching standalone cabinets and ready to consolidate into a single, consistent system.

Who might look elsewhere: users who demand ultra-heavy-gauge steel cabinetry or modular systems designed for extreme industrial abuse. This set is sturdy and well-built, but it’s not a 300-pound-per-drawer, shop-hardened beast.

Maintenance and longevity

The coating has held up nicely so far, and the welded construction removes some of the rattle and looseness you see in purely flat-pack systems. Keep hinges and drawer slides clean, don’t overload shelves beyond their 150-pound rating, and you’ll likely get a long service life. I also recommend anchoring the tall lockers to the wall—not just for stability, but for safety if kids are around.

Final recommendation

I recommend the HPDMC 9-piece system for anyone wanting a complete, well-thought-out garage storage suite in a single purchase. It delivers a stable workbench, versatile closed and open storage, durable steel pegboard, and a mobile drawer unit, all in a footprint that suits a typical two-car garage. The build quality is solid for the category, the finish is durable, and the layout makes daily work more efficient. Factor in the realities of freight delivery, set aside a half day for installation with a helper, and budget for a few locking peg hooks, and you’ll end up with a clean, capable setup that brings order to a busy garage.
