Picture your garage in your mind. Chances are, it has a pile of junk in the corner, miscellaneous stuff overflowing from mismatched shelves, large items leaning against the wall, and stacks of boxes covered in a layer of dust and dirt. Maybe you don’t even have room for your car, so it’s parked outside on the driveway.
This situation is all too common among homeowners. Our garages can easily become dysfunctional depositories for all our random belongings, with no rhyme or reason to the way they’re strewn about. That’s where we come in.
At Garage Solutions of Arizona, our ultimate goal is to help homeowners eliminate clutter and take back their garages. One of our most effective storage solutions is our garage cabinets, which allow you to stash your belongings out of sight and protect them from the elements. Keep reading to learn more about our melamine and metal cabinets and determine which option is right for you.
Melamine Cabinets for Your Garage
Melamine is made from particleboard or MDF with a resin-plastic veneer. While composite wood doesn’t always have the best reputation, don’t let that fool you — thanks to its durable outer coating, melamine is incredibly versatile and is known for its resistance to heat, stains, moisture, peeling, and chipping, making it perfect for garage cabinets.
Introducing Our New Metal Cabinets
In addition to our melamine cabinet options, we are proud to provide yet another innovative garage storage solution that will help you transform your garage into a productive paradise: metal cabinets. As a certified dealer of ProSlat products, we are excited to share the incredible benefits of metal cabinets with our customers.
Manufactured with 18-gauge steel treated with anti-rust zirconium and finished with a corrosion-resistant powder coat, our metal cabinets provide unmatched durability and ease of maintenance.
Choosing the Right Cabinets for Your Garage
While melamine and metal cabinets have many similarities, there are some things to consider when deciding between the two options.
Budget
If you’re working with a limited budget, melamine cabinets are a great way to enhance your garage without breaking the bank. Metal cabinets are generally more expensive; however, the exact cost depends on your chosen configurations, finishes, and add-ons.

Weight Capacity
If you plan to store heavy tools, paint cans, and equipment in your cabinets, it’s important to consider their weight capacity. Metal cabinets will typically be able to support a greater load, making them the ideal choice for weighty items. That doesn’t mean that melamine cabinets can’t support heavy loads, as well — if you opt for melamine, you just might have to be more thoughtful about evenly distributing larger items.
Aesthetics
Both our melamine and metal cabinets provide a wide range of customization options; however, if your goal is to imitate the look of wood, melamine is your best bet. While the LUX metal cabinets are designed to imitate the look and feel of high-end kitchen cabinets, they are still made of smooth, single-color metal. Our melamine cabinets, on the other hand, come in over a dozen different finishes, including imitation wood grain.
Additional Features
One of the biggest advantages of our metal cabinets is their unique features that go beyond standard cabinets, shelves, and drawers. The customizable modules and organizational accessories can take your metal cabinets to the next level. Add a sink base for convenient washing or a beverage center to store refreshing drinks within reach. The addition of a fridge, freezer, or pantry means you won’t have to stop working on your project to get a snack.
Customizable Storage
While our metal cabinets take the cake when it comes to extra features, both options provide customizable storage and optional accessories. Add a slat board as a backsplash and use hooks to keep your tools right where you need them, place trays or baskets in the drawers to organize small items, or place a neoprene mat on the countertop to protect it from spills and scratches. The organizational opportunities are endless!
