IMO, the Akro-Mils cabinets are much better if you can find them in your area. For one thing they stack nicely, and securely. While KMart is selling the "Stack"-on brand, they do not stack at all. They slide right off of each other. A slight bump (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.market.shopping)

I think these are by Akro-Mills, the company that everyone raves over. This seems to be a really good deal. I'm going by my SuperK today to try to get some. Here is a pic of the ad. Buy one get one free. (URL) BEN GATRELLE (24 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.market.shopping)
