VanEssential Overhead Soft-Sided Storage Cabinet 48"

Great product

Great cabinet for the price! Much sturdier than expected and installed easily using my Sprinter L-tracks. I love all the extra pockets and mounting points too.

The zippers and molé features are sturdy. The cabinet is more rigid than I expected but that is good because it seems like it will hold it's shape nicely. The installation was the only "con" for this product. It took two people. Also, it would be much easier to install the knobs without the shelves and interior pieces. The instructions indicated to install these parts first but it was quickly discovered that these are in the way. I will be ordering a second one of these for my van.

This is the third and most expensive brand of bag I have purchased off Amazon. It is a 48" long the, others were 36". For the increased price I would have expected a better alignment of the mounting points on the bag to the L track's 1" spacing. L track also purchased from Amazon. I was able to finally force the bag on to the L track mounting studs. I assume that after it is used it will stretch enough to allow the bags to be installed and removed without a major struggle but the first time was a real challenge. These mounting points are slotted in one direction to make them more versatile. Perhaps they got the slots oriented in the wrong direction?

After only about 3 zipper strokes, the stitching came undone that retains the zipper (on upper side) on the pocket located on the bottom of the cabinet. This was a manufacturing quality defect. Without the stitching the zipper can't operate however the pocket is still functional. I just can't close it off. This was disappointing because there are six mesh pockets on the bottom, but only one pocket with a zipper. I was happy to have the zipper, because I figured I could put things in there securely, but no more zipper😢. Otherwise I found this semi-rigid cabinet to be a great solution for a lightweight (15lbs) cabinet in my van. Rather than using expensive L-track mounting hardware intended by manufacturer, I used $10 worth of 6 ft cam Buckle tie down straps (4 straps) and strategically located carabiners on the MOLLE loops to retain it in my Ford Transit. L-track is expensive and it also requires quite a bit of work to mount it in the van. There would be no place to attach the L track without some other kind of features such as paneling or brackets.

Item arrived & there is no way to mount the storage. No where in the description did it say it wouldn’t come with everything needed. Pretty bummed as I needed this for a trip.
