Some stuff is and some stuff isn't. I got a tool cart from them after shopping around for a while. The harbor freight one was cheaper and built much better than the craftsman, kobalt, husky, and northern tool carts I looked at. The tool cart has all the nice features.... greasable wheels with brakes, a handle, a side shelf, locking drawers/top lid, the finger latches on the drawers that stop the drawers from opening when you roll the cart around, hydraulic lift struts, and ball bearing drawers. When i say it's built well, I mean it. Even with my 200lbs+ of tools in it I can still sit on one of the drawers without a problem. There isn't a single part on it that is flimsy or weak. I have absolutely 100% no regrets about buying it. They have some cheaper models of tool carts that aren't worth half the price they're selling them for, but the one I got and one or two others they carry are top notch. You just have to know what your getting when you buy something from harbor freight.
