Buying a new rollaway & tool chest set

I'm looking to replace my 25 year old and undersized Craftsman rollaway & tool chest set with a bigger one. It's amazing how much these things cost, 2, 3 grand and up for some of them. I recently saw a Husky set at Home Depot which looks well made (has ball bearing drawer slides, etc) and is about the right size (9500 cu", 23 drawers). Seems a relative bargain at $700. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest any other sources of good quality/reasonably priced tool chests. Also, my understanding is that Husky is now the "house brand" for Home Depot. This wasn't always the case, I believe the brand was considered of decent quality in the past, I'm wondering if this has changed now that their strictly "HD".



TIA

Husky is now owned by MAC tools:

The boxes though are offshore imports, maybe they are sturdy for the price, but Sears are still made by Waterloo.

The oldest tool box manufacturer in the USA!

Stan-I've had several people mention these, so I finally went to the local Sam's Club (not a member so it's a PITA) to look at one. Unfortunately, the n*****ts had the display example locked & LOST the damned key, so I couldn't actually open the drawers (idiots) but the price was $652, and from what I could tell look very nicely made. I was able to get the web site for the company in that makes them,

The set is about the same size as the Husky one I was looking at, total weight for the pair is 430#, which I think speaks to their robustness.
