I'm pulling the trigger on this for my garage. I'm OK with the poverty "Bold" series.

Nothing wrong with the Bold, I just really want the ability to keep moto gear and large odd shaped tools behind closed doors. I did a lot of hand wringing over the additional cost.

In your case, it's worth the extra cost IMO. I don't have lots of gear and odd shaped things to store...mostly just odds and ends like car care crap, paint, and basic normal tools.

This forum is dangerous... I'm trying not to consider a garage revamp.

that setup,

I've been doing hodgepodge storage solutions in garages for years...and since I'm starting fresh, might as well do it right for once.

Congrats on the cabinets they look huge.

Yeah, they’re yuuge

Pro tip 1. Don’t do this shit in the rain

Tip 2. Don’t unpack this shit by yourself

Tip 3. Pay for the installation services (if available)

(I didn’t follow any of that advise)

I just got the call that mine are ready to be delivered. These are good tips.

I don’t know how yours are getting delivered - however, mine were delivered via freight carrier (R & L carriers) via 53’ semi-trailer with a lift gate. The driver and I had to maneuver the pallets and pallet jack and struggled to get one of the pallets over the lip on the driveway, so just a heads up. If you’re driveway is sloped you’re SOL and they’ll leave the pallets at the end of the drive, or you’ll have to schedule another method of delivery.

If you haven’t watched NewAge’s unboxing vid, it’s pretty helpful. Cabinets and shelves will be inside the big cabinets, so empty all of that before tipping the cabinets off of the pallets.

The cabinets themselves are super nice. Really impressed with the build quality. The tool boxes I ordered are nice as well. Overall, I’m super happy with the products. However they should spend some time sorting through their home delivery carriers process - I think they’d serve themselves a bit better to find carriers that can provide a “white glove” style service.

Yea, Roadrunner freight is delivering...scheduled for Monday.

I do have a lip at the end of the driveway and a slope...so I guess I'm fucked. I also will have to somehow move everything by myself from the street to the garage. Maybe I can lay them into my truck bed somehow...

Load the pallet into the truck bed off the freight truck.

POintless bed coming in to save the day.

Can a pallet fit between ze wheel wells though?

I don't know if they can, but I'll ask.

I use my pointless bed all the time. I guess I'm the only person.

I don't even care if it fits between the wheel wells...I just need to move the pallet down my driveway ~100 feet should fit with the tailgate down well enough for that purpose.

If the driver will wait for each pallet while you do that, that seems like the way to go, that will be way easier than a fucking pallet jack uphill

[troyguitar]

Rent an open uhaul trailer for the day. Unload pallets directly onto that.

YO!

[ChrisoftheNorth]

Could work too...but I'm not sure it's much easier than the truck bed. I have no idea how many pallets I'm getting

Yeah I was assuming a bunch of pallets.

They apparently nest the small cabinets into the bigger ones...which could result in two or three pallets tops.

Realistically, it'll be 10 and they'll only drop them on the street because of the incline of my driveway apron and I'll be moving each piece individually to the garage in my truck while it's snowing/raining.

Lay cabinets on a creeper, one of the ones with the big rubber tires, and tow them with buckbuck

Worse case that that you can tip cabinets into the bed of the truck
