Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rubbermaid 7083 72-Inch Four-Shelf Double-Door Resin Storage Cabinet
Customer Review: Design needs some work.
Summary: 3 Stars
I had high hopes for this cabinet, and I bought the 4 door model as well. It went together easily enough, but when it was completely together, (and I followed the instructions to the letter) the doors did not exactly line up. They do close, but it would look much nicer if they were in proper alignment. The four door model did not seem to have this problem. It's just for the garage, but, still, I would have liked to see a better alignment of the doors.Customer Review: Designed for indoor use
Summary: 3 Stars
When I bought this cabinet I planned to use it outdoor to store my gardening tools and other stuffs like fertilizer and pesticide. Upon its arrival I discovered the unit wasn't exactly meant for outdoor use right out of the box.The problem is that the cabinet top is not watertight. After one night of rain there was quite a bit of water inside the cabinet. After some trials and errors I ended up solving the problem by gluing (using silicon) a piece of corrugated vinyl roofing panel on top of the cabinet. This seems to work fines. The roofing panel costs about $7 each at Home Depot. You can cut the panel with a pair of scissors to the right size. Be sure to cut it a little bigger, about an inch or two on each side to give extra protection from heavy rains.
The other reviewer mentioned that the doors are not lined up. This can be fixed by putting shims under the four bottom corners of cabinet. You need to experiment with this. By putting shims under differ "legs" you'll notice the alignments of the doors change.
Another thing about this cabinet is the shelves inside have slots, meaning that if there is a spill on the top shelf the fluid will get the shelves below very quickly.
This cabinet does have some pros, however: reasonably priced, shelving included, good storage capacity, and able to hold heavy stuffs. Assembly was straight forward, although somewhat tedious.
This cabinet is OK if you are using it in your garage and have a perfectly flat floor. If I were to do it again I probably would spend another $60-$80 more and get a different unit.
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
Instructions are printed on on side of box. This is your only manual for assembly. Plastic cut-outs that should have been scraped at mfg. plant left inside some parts. Tolerances for doors closing and openings allow too much play. Assembly instructions were poor. I do not reccommend.Customer Review: Disappointed

When fully assembled,not only did the doors not lineup correctly,but they were difficult to open. It appears that the holes were not drilled correctly and so the doors were misaligned. For almost $200,we expected a better product.Customer Review: Disappointed in the quality of this product
Summary: 2 Stars
We recently purchased this product and expected to find the kind of quality we have experienced from Rubbermaid in the past. As we began the assembly, it became clear that some pieces still had small, loose pieces rattling around inside them or still attached. Fortunately, we had a rubber mallet because assembly would have been impossible without the use of that tool. There were no printed instructions, only the pictures on the box where no parts were identified by letter. The 15 minute assembly time was not accurate. It took two adults about 45 minutes.
