iDEAL PSB-PSMCT: stainless steel, a lockable cabinet, and it arrives assembled

Two things separate this mixing station from a bench with a cupboard under it. The first is the material: heavy-duty stainless steel, which matters in a paint room because the solvents used to clean a bench are the same solvents that strip a painted finish and start rust underneath it. The second is on the packing list rather than the spec sheet — it ships fully assembled. There is no flat pack, no fastener bag and no afternoon lost to a build.

The rest is a working layout: a large lockable storage cabinet, two side drawers and storage bins, a 34" table height, and a 46" x 20" mixing top with a 1.25" retaining fence running round three sides.

Will It Fit?

• Footprint and height. Overall size is 47.25" wide, 20.5" deep and 35" tall. Because it arrives built, that overall size is also the size that has to come through your door and along your corridor — measure the route, not just the destination.
• Working height. The table sits at 34". Stand at your current mixing bench and compare; a mixing station that is even an inch or two off is one people stop using.
• Weight and floor. 125 lbs shipped. No fixings and no power are required, so any sound, level floor in a ventilated area will take it.
• The top. The feature list calls the mixing area 46" x 20"; the specification block measures the usable work top fractionally smaller once the fence is accounted for. If you are fitting this into an alcove, work from the overall size above rather than from the top dimension.

Measuring your space, your access route and your ventilation is the customer's responsibility — but tell us the constraint and we will tell you whether this unit clears it.

Why the retaining fence is the detail to notice

A 1.25" fence on three sides sounds like trim. In a mixing room it is loss prevention. Toner bottles, mixing cups, stir sticks and scales all live on that surface, the surface is usually crowded, and a knocked bottle that goes over the edge is a spill on the floor and a cleanup with the solvent you were about to use. The fence stops the roll before it becomes a pour. Three sides rather than four keeps the working edge open, so you can still sweep waste off the front into a bin.

Storage that locks, drawers that separate

The large storage cabinet locks. That is straightforward and worth stating plainly: paint materials are expensive, portable and, in some jurisdictions, subject to storage rules of their own. Two side drawers and storage bins keep the small consumables — strainers, sticks, tape, mixing cups — off the mixing surface and out of the cabinet where the tins live. The practical value is not capacity, it is separation: the things you reach for every ten minutes stop competing for space with the things you reach for twice a day.

Built for a paint room, not a general workshop

Stainless steel construction, a fenced top and a lockable base are a specification aimed at one job. A general-purpose steel bench in a mixing area picks up solvent damage, then surface rust, then it starts contaminating the work — and a contaminated mix is a re-spray, which costs more than the bench did. Stainless takes the cleaning regime a paint room actually runs.

Perfect For

• Collision and refinish shops setting up or upgrading a dedicated mixing room.
• Dealership body shops that need lockable storage for materials as much as a place to mix them.
• Custom, restoration and motorcycle painters working in a smaller space where one unit has to be both store and bench.
• Industrial and fleet finishing operations where the cleaning regime would destroy a painted bench.

What's in the Box

The unit as described, assembled: the stainless cabinet and mixing table, the lockable storage cabinet, two side drawers with storage bins, and the 1.25" retaining fence fitted to three sides of the top. Nothing to build, and no tools, scales or mixing equipment are included — those are yours. Ask us if you want the shipping contents confirmed in writing before ordering.

Specifications

On listings and approvals, stated plainly

No third-party listing or approval of any kind is claimed in the published data for this unit, and it is worth being clear that a mixing bench is not a fire-rated or flammables-rated storage cabinet unless it says so — this one does not. Paint and solvent storage is regulated in many places, by local fire code and sometimes by an insurer. Check what applies to your room before you decide what will live inside the cabinet.

Shipping and delivery

Freight is quoted live at checkout for the lower 48 states. Assembled goods ship crated and travel on a freight carrier, so plan for it: have a way to take the crate off the truck or elect terminal collection instead, expect a residential fee on a home address, and inspect the crate at the kerb. Damage must be written on the delivery receipt before you sign — on an assembled stainless unit, a dented panel is exactly the kind of thing that is obvious in daylight and impossible to claim for afterwards.

Warranty

We publish the claims route for iDEAL products rather than a term of our own. Ask before you buy and we will confirm the current warranty in writing on your order. If something does go wrong, do not dismantle the affected part before the claim is opened — a drawer slide or a lock assessed in place is a straightforward claim; the same part in pieces in a bin is not.
