SONGMICS OMC016G01 Metal Storage Cabinet, 4 Doors, 5 Shelves, Lockable

For keeping tools, sports equipment or household supplies organised in one place, the SONGMICS OMC016G01 offers enclosed storage across two separate sections. It measures 40 x 80 x 180 cm and has four doors. Three of its five shelves can be adjusted or removed to suit different item sizes. Assembly requires an electric drill, which is not included.

Key points

The matte grey cabinet is made from alloy steel and designed for floor mounting. Its two sections make it easier to separate, for example, tools from gardening or sports items, while the doors keep stored belongings out of sight. In a home office, the same layout could be used for files and supplies, in a utility room, it could hold detergents and other household essentials.

Each shelf has a stated maximum static load capacity of 25 kg. That gives a useful guide when planning what to store, but it is a per-shelf limit rather than a total cabinet capacity. Three shelves are adjustable and removable, so taller items can be accommodated by changing the layout. Two locks are supplied, each with two keys, and an anti-tip bracket is included for wall attachment.

Buyer feedback commonly highlights the storage space, appearance and sense of sturdiness, with some saying the cabinet made a garage feel tidier. The locking mechanism is also described positively. Assembly feedback is not entirely uniform: while some buyers found the instructions clear and the build straightforward, others reported difficulty getting screws tight or components to fit securely. These reports are useful context, but they do not replace the product’s stated dimensions and load limits.

Practical tips

Before ordering, measure the intended floor area and check that there is room to open the doors and position the cabinet for wall attachment. The dimensions are 40 x 80 x 180 cm, and the stated weight is 40.7 kg, so plan where it will stand before assembly rather than treating it as a small portable organiser.

Allow for the assembly requirement: the manufacturer says an electric drill is needed, while the product details specify that it is not included. Follow the supplied instructions and use the included anti-tip bracket to attach the unit to a wall. When loading it, keep each shelf within its 25 kg maximum static capacity.

Getting the most from it

This cabinet suits a space where closed, divided storage is more useful than open shelving. For instance, a garage user could keep frequently used equipment in one section and less often used items in the other, while adjusting the shelves to fit the contents. Compared with a basic open rack, the doors and locks offer a more contained place for belongings, an open rack may be preferable when immediate access matters more than keeping items covered or secured.

It makes sense if you want a tall steel cabinet with adjustable storage and two lockable sections for a garage, study, laundry room or kitchen. The fixed overall dimensions and the stated shelf limit are important selection points, so match them to the space and items you plan to store. You may want to skip it if you need storage that can be assembled without an electric drill, as that tool is required and is not supplied.

Should you buy it?

The OMC016G01 is worth considering for organised, enclosed storage across several rooms, especially when adjustable shelves and locks matter more than open access. Its two-section layout, four doors and included anti-tip bracket give it a practical role as a dedicated storage unit. Choose it with a clear plan for its footprint, wall attachment and assembly, if your priority is a simple rack for quick access, an open shelving unit is a more direct fit.
