This is a funny thread -- and a good one...
Everybody has a different "budget"... so what is the "best" for one is way out of line for someone else.
Personally - my "shed" has some pretty decent tool cabinets and I've looked at lots of built ins - they're so dang nice - and many are ultra high quality... I just can't bring myself to splatter paint - grease - welding splatter - etc all over something like that "regardless" of my budget.
I figure when I get a little bit older (already the age of dirt) and quit banging and building - then I'll tile the floors and put in "beautiful things"... but then again - I'd probably just plaster decals all over them anyway!
