I was in Costco yesterday and had a look at this tool cabinet.

Looks like it has a little microwave in it for your Ginsters pasty...

my tool chest combo is Teng. The quality is good, sturdy and the drawers run really smooth on the bearings.

Or there's this webdeal from Halfrauds.

That's the top cabinet and bottom trolley for 150 quid .... bargain! (lasts until today)

Not worth the money in my opinion. The drawers don't run well. Save your money and buy the black Industrial version.
Cheers, Clive.

I've got the Halfords black trolley tool cabinet and the red one sitting on top. I've had them for years and they both seem to work equally well.

Clive, I do agree to a certain extent. If they were full price then they would be overpriced.
I picked a set up on the way home last night and for 150 quid for the 2, I think it represents decent value. I've used many a tool chest at work over the years and have seen many bearing railed drawer collapse and leave a pile of balls on the floor rendering the whole thing useless.
So for a squirt of grease every now and then and being mindful not to fill a single draw with a ruck of heavy spanners. I think it'll do me just fine.
Much better than budget options from other manufacturers (including my name sake .. Clarke)
