That box looks very similar to the Canadian Beach toolbox offerings from years ago. Great classic look.

Wow, I've never seen a top box style chest like that.
That format is quite interesting to me.

I like the looks of that box. But not having a full width drawer kills it for me.

Those are awesome boxes..............except for all the wasted space that could be filled with a drawer vs. the unneeded  front covers.

Those drawers are about 15-1/2" deep which is way to small.

I like the top box but that roller layout is really crappy.

Interesting boxes with a non contemporary layout. Have not seen them before. Where are they made and have they been around for a long time?

OK, I see white has coverage down under but didn't see they were available here. Are they?

I was wondering about that myself. The box is probably manufactured in China (using a distinct Beach Toolbox company design style), and may be branded under a different name in the US.

It's nice, and I agree with GF, looks very much likes Beach.

But, and dare I say it, seems you'd be better off going Harbor Freight.

I like that top chest but since I don't measure in M&Ms I don't know how big it is.
