Harbor Freight -VS- Home Depot ( Yukon - VS - Husky ) 46" 9-Drawer Workstations

I found this great site while doing a search to find a comparison of both of these exact models. One thing about this review I see that is possibly in error: The review states that the bottom drawers on the Husky #763089 only have one slider. However, I think the Husky model has been re-designed so that it appears much more similar to the Yukon. If you look at the current listing for the Husky: Husky 46 in. 9-Drawer Mobile Workbench with Solid Wood Top, Black-7440946R - The Home Depot and scroll down the page to the pictures that show the drawers open, you will see that it shows the lower drawers having dual sliders. Also, the top does not appear to be held in place by raised metal sides as the one in this review. Finally, the current ad for the Husky lists the height as 37", not 39" as reflected in this video. I am going to go to Home Depot today and look at the current incarnation of the Husky 763089 - I suspect it is now much closer to the Yukon than when this video was made.

UPDATE: I went to HD yesterday and put eyes on their version of the chest in the video. They must have changed it since this video because this model now has the top bolted down like the HF version and also has 2 sliders on the lower drawer like the HF version. I also opened the top drawer and look at the bottom side of the top of the cabinet and it did have the welded reinforcement member like the HF version in the video. In short, I think the Husky workstation from HD item #763089 is now virtually identical to the Yukon version from HF. It is likely made by the same manufacturer but just re-badged for each seller.

By the way ended up not getting it after all. Instead I bought their Husky 52 inch 13-drawer tool chest (I'll attempt to attach a picture).
