Default Cabinet Suggestions

We're remodeling one side of the shop and have room for a storage/workcenter area. What Im thinking is about 15 feet long, 3 or 4 tall storage cabinets and a table with cabinets under (maybe some with drawers instead) and a few hanging cabinets above.

Does anyone have any company recommendations. I would love something US made to help out our economy however am looking into the 5K and under category. Some companies that sell cabinets can't tell me anything about the manufacturer of them and I'd rather not go in blindfolded.

Suggestions?

I don't have any recommendations for manufactures, but what i wanted to say, was when you do try to get fold up doors, i put cabinets in our garage that the doors fold up and in, and its turned out much nicer then my previous fold out units, i wont go back!

I saw these guys at SEMA. The product looked really nice and the website claims they are proudly made in the USA.

Rich folks LOL Kidding. I would love to be able to afford the Lista cabinets, they are the best. I unfortunately have to go the sears route. I have a few of the roller bearing drawer cabinets in my garage and I love them. I also have some without the bearing slides. They are sturdy but when over loaded they are a B to pull in and out.

The bearing slides can hold oh, at least a hundred pounds or more and pull out easily. Lift the handle to unlock and one finger slides a hundred pounds of tooling out no sweat. I like the sears brand but would never buy the non-bearing slides again. JR
