Yes sir, it is a Harbor freight. Although it has some minor issues, its still the best bang for the buck for home shop use. Heres my advice based on experience. When you buy it Google "Harbor Freight Code" This is a 10% off coupon that is NOT on Harbor freights site. Its a third party site but HF will honor it even if the item is on sale. Trust me, i use it every time I buy at HF.

When you get it buy a couple roll of weather stripping. What comes with it is not enough. Once assembled mask a line around every seam and seal it with a small bead of silicone. Its still going to leak some, but this reduces it considerable.

Initially I bout the HF 5hp shop vac as a dust recovery system. It does ok, but I plan to buy the dedicated dust recovery system since the shop vac failed. No, I never buy warranty so I cant take it back.

Consider an LED light for inside. The fluorescent that comes with it is marginal.

With all that said, would I buy it again? Compared to the commercial quality units at twice the price, yes I would. My philosophy is if you make a living with your tools buy Snap-on. If your a weekend mechanic Craftsman, Husky, and Gear Wrench work just fine.

Theres no doubt that HF quality is questionable on many items, but this cabinet offers great bang for the buck.
