They are probably powder coated rather than painted, which is a
meaningful distinction. The powder coating stands up pretty good to
having tools banged into it, which happens all the time.
I bought the "basic" level one for my garage. My dad bought the
"fancy ball bearing" one for his house workshop.
I like the ball bearing drawers but never felt it was worth the money
in an automotive shop where tools are big and dirty and such. Mine open
really easily.
I bought that thin foam padding to put on the bottom of the drawers,
and I think that helps a lot. Just cut it with scissors and drop it in.
Makes everything neater and quieter and tooks stay where you put them no
matter how hard you slam the drawer.
