I got this US PRO TOOLS chest from eBay , a few months ago, very pleased with it, quality seems very good, especially given the cost of it! Cracking value I reckon. Too early to comment on long term robustness, but looking at it, I don't see a problem.
Simply couldn't justify big brand name boxes, so these fit the bill, and the budget, the feedback was good, and I'm certainly not disappointed

Halfords industrial chests are excellent. Wait till they're on offer, normally about 50% off

I know you are going to think they are rubbish because of the price but I have had one for over 3 years and it's been excellent.

Be nice to have a floor good enough to roll one first!

I have a couple of different sized SGS cabinets and like Grassman, I only hesitate to tell others about them because of their relatively low cost. Best appreciated by those of us who don't enjoy spending money, or don't want a bright red cabinet. They paint them any color you like - as long as you like black.

Some of them you are just paying a premium for the name!
I've the Halfords industrial ones... We'll built.. Big difference between the quality their elcheapo better and industrial ones.
Get a Trade card... Always half priceish then!
Edited to add Trade prices seems to be up.
Last one I bought , Top box was 260 in the shop 120 Trade card... It's now 200 trade card.
I think it depends on offers running etc.
Saw a nice setup in Costco a few months back as well... Seemed well built for the price.

US PRO TOOLS here and I like it.
Also got a rolling cabinet with drawers from Grant Engineering in NI. Well built and they would be prepared to do something bespoke, I'd guess.

Ive got a snap on roll cab at home and a Halfords topbox I lift in the pickup if I need them when out and about. Can get some decent boxes second hand on eBay.

One tip. Get a set of these and attach to the sides or back and stick bulky tools on there.
