  I moved recently and had some small filing cabinets that needed to be moved downstairs (and subsequently back upstairs). I was amazed at how heavy the near-empty, cheap sheet metal cabinets were, until I saw the giant paver stones bolted to the inside back wall to give them support when the drawers are open.

    I guarantee the salespeople said the weight meant they were built well

    As someone who moves filing cabinets a fair bit for my job, this is actually super common, I see it all the time

  Modern ranges/stoves do this also, and some of them even have the concrete blocks bolted to the outside where you can see them. Albeit on the back.

    My dishwasher does as well, it’s a model on wheels and for the first couple of weeks it left flakes of concrete everywhere when I moved it.

  Some higher end models have a cast iron weights instead.

    Some cheaper models have two little people from New Jersey in them.

        Yeah, you gotta keep stuffing lasagna and deli meats in your washing machine or else it’ll start to wobble.

  Why don’t they just have a basin that fills with water? Would be much easier for moving.

  Those who don’t know; have never moved.
