Nice add-on
Delivery was relatively quick. All assembly was required but as with virtually all Weber products, directions are straight forward and clearly illustrated. Strangely, the two door cabinet magnets arrived broken but after a phone call and and email to Weber both were sent along without hesitation. The cabinets are a very nice add-on and they allow me a place to store an extra tank as well as all the other grilling gear.
Adds tons of storage... But it's not exactly well designed.
Got a terrific deal on this cabinet...about three hundred and fifty bucks delivered. Put it together in about one afternoon... Maybe four hours with breaks. We love the extra storage.
The item is not without problems however:
- the magnets that are designed to keep the doors closed arrived broken.
- the design leaves sharp screws sticking out inside the cabinets. This seems extremely unsafe particularly for kids.
- once installed the new door on either side of the cabinets is not flush with the door next to it leaving a gap of a quarter inch or so. This will make the cabinets a haven for spiders and other things we don't necessarily want living in our BBQ.
I am going to add caps to the screws and maybe even some weather stripping. I'm also hoping Weber comes through with replacement magnets..
Wonderful Addition!

For the first time, I have no concern over where to put my food or my tongs.
2/8/2013: A couple of months later, my review is unchanged except to add even more enthusiasm for these extensions. I also want to add that the door gap that one reviewer complained about is necessary for the swing of opening the grill doors. There also are some minor space anomalies that might be overcome by making the extension doors taller, but that would have interrupted the continuous line of the door tops. I think this design is better.
Every person's use will be different, but I've found that I now mostly leave the side burner cover unused, my tools (tongs, spatula, etc. -- including a ceramic tool rest my...
