I don't recall the wood type and assembly method, but I can look if anyone's interested. When I wrote the book, we compared a variety of cabinets and the SS cab was hands down the most impressive.

That may be compared to kit cabs, but compared to a screwed and glued real cab, I don't think there is any comparison. How comfortable are you with just moving your SS cab around, and say putting it on a hand truck  and lugging it up a flight of stairs?

I don't have a SS cab, but have a variety of cabs that I obtained in a variety of conditions and I can say that anybody who tries to compare a cab that has been sitting in a remote location, subject to heavy abuse and neglect, possibly for decades, to a brand new HUO cab isn't making an appropriate comparison.

I own 10 or so real cabs too, and was including them in that comparison. It really is a well put together piece of kit. It is a flat pack assembly thingie though, so the actual arcade machines are quite likely the more sturdy, but the SS cab is solid through and through.  It's an entirely separate point from their business and business practices, which I won't comment on, but I've always liked the SS products.

And Cheffo's got a good point there.

Well I'm certainly not. I am however comparing it to a traditionally built screw and glue construction as opposed to outrigger\cam construction. It just doesn't hold up. Now, if you don't move it ever, and it's not used on location, I don't see a problem with home use only. A disclaimer should be mentioned however, especially in an objective review. Me, I prefer something a little more durable, just in case. Back in my apartment hopping days I can't count how many pieces of cheap particle board cam construction furniture didn't make it to the next place...
