     Turning to  FIGS. 35-70 , various components, features, and configurations are shown that may be used with any embodiment discussed herein. With reference to  FIGS. 35-36 , a flat shelf  140   c  is shown that may be used in any of the embodiments of cabinet disclosed herein. The flat shelf  140   c  may be engaged with the cabinet using perforations  134   a ,  134   b  in the cabinet (e.g., using “L” or hook shaped engagement tabs that insert into a protrusion), pins and recesses, screws and holes, magnets, welding, adhesion, or any other attachment mechanism as would be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art in light of the present disclosure. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 37-39 , a foldable shelf  140   a  is shown that may be used in any of the embodiments of cabinet disclosed herein. In the depicted embodiment, the foldable shelf  140   a  includes two foldable panels  162  supported by a frame  164  comprising one or more lateral support bars  166 , with the panels pivoting about a rear hinge  168 . The support bars  166  may include a flange  170  (also referred to as a lip) that projects inwardly to support the weight of the panels  162  and objects thereon in combination with the hinge  168 . In some embodiments the lateral support bars  166  may form an “E” shaped frame to allow two or more foldable panels  162  to be supported thereon. The depicted embodiment also includes a hole  172  on each panel  162  proximate the center support bar. The holes  172  may be used to lift the panel  162  (e.g., a user may insert their finger into the holes). The shelves  140   a  may be supported by engaging the perforated openings  134   a ,  134   b  within the cabinet as discussed herein (e.g., “L” or hook shaped engagement tabs that insert into a protrusion), pins and recesses, magnets, screws and holes, welding, adhesion, or any other attachment mechanism as would be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art in light of the present disclosure. 
       FIG. 39  shows two pairs of foldable shelves  140   a  with the left-most panel  162  in an upright or stowed position to demonstrate how a large item may be loaded into the cabinet (e.g., resting on the floor and extending up past the lateral support bars of an upwardly stowed shelf). As described herein, any of the shelves may be used in combination with other style shelves and bins. For example,  FIG. 39  also shows three flat shelves  140   c  according to the embodiment of  FIGS. 35-36 . Any number of foldable panels  162  may be used in a single shelf  140   a  to allow the users&#39; desired width of storage area. In some embodiments, the various reconfigurable shelves disclosed herein may save the user time by allowing flexible adaptation of the storage space without removing or repositioning an entire shelf. In some embodiments, a magnet may be used to hold the foldable shelf panel  162  in an upright position at 90 degrees or greater relative to the downward, in-use position. In some embodiments, the magnet may be disposed on the cabinet wall above the shelf&#39;s lateral supports  166 . Any of the shelves disclosed herein may be mounted to the cabinet via, for example, protrusions engaging a openings  134   a ,  134   b  in the cabinet (e.g., using “L” or hook shaped engagement tabs that insert into a protrusion), pins and recesses, screws and holes, magnets, welding, adhesion, or any other attachment mechanism as would be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art in light of the present disclosure. 
       FIGS. 40-44  illustrate an example shelf  140   d  with a pull-out work surface  126   f  (also referred to as a secondary work surface or drawer cover) and drawer  124   g  is shown. In the depicted embodiment, the right side of the shelf includes a drawer  124   g  for holding items therein (e.g., as shown in  FIG. 42 ). In some embodiments, the shelf may further include a secondary work surface  126   f  that slides atop the drawer beneath the shelf surface. A user may pull a tab  174  on the front edge of the secondary work surface  126   f  to slide the work surface out for the user (e.g., to the deployed position shown in  FIG. 41 ). Similarly, the user may push the tab  174  of the secondary work surface  126   f  back to reveal the drawer contents beneath. In some embodiments, a recess or other pulling element may be used, or no pulling element may be used. 
     In some embodiments, as described herein with respect to the secondary work surfaces, the secondary work surface  126   f  may be engaged with and slide along the drawer  124   g  or may be attached to the cabinet separately. For example, in the embodiment shown in  FIGS. 40-42 , the secondary work surface  126   f  is configured to travel in tracks  176  defined at an upper edge of the left and right sides of the drawer  124   g . In some embodiments, a flange  178  (e.g., a raised lip) of the drawer  124   g  may limit the travel of the secondary work surface  126   f  to prevent the secondary work surface from traveling beyond an end of the drawer. 
     In some embodiments, the drawer  124   g  may ride on one or more sliding elements  180  (e.g., rails or tracks), which sliding elements may be connected to the underside of the upper surface of the shelf  140  in some embodiments. 
     In some embodiments, the secondary work surface  126   f  (also referred to as a drawer cover) may lock in a closed position via one or more locking elements to prevent unwanted access to the drawer. Any number of drawers may be used in a single shelf  140   d  to allow the users&#39; desired storage area. With reference to  FIG. 43 , a cabinet is shown having a shelf  140   d  with two pull out secondary work surfaces  126   f  and drawers  124   g  as described herein. The depicted secondary work surfaces  126   f  are positioned near work surface height for ease of use (e.g., within the middle third or the middle fifth of the height of the tall cabinet), and in some embodiments, the secondary work surfaces  126   f  and the shelves  140   d  may be modularly disposed at any height. In some embodiments, the secondary work surfaces (e.g., secondary work surface  126   f ) may be positioned at any height, and preferably from 28 inches to 28 inches from the floor. 
       FIG. 44  shows example embodiments of the drawer configurations that include multiple layers of drawers  124   g  and work surfaces  126   f  beneath a shelf. In some embodiments, the lower drawers  124   g  may slide along sliding elements  180  connected to the bottoms of the upper drawers  124   g  such that both sets of drawers may be opened simultaneously to define a collective secondary work surface  126   f  that includes both drawers. In some embodiments, the lower drawer may slide along the under the shelf as a singular cabinet-width storage compartment, such that it affords a long continuous extendable work surface. Similarly, horizontally separated drawers may be opened simultaneously to define an extended secondary work surface. For example, the layered pull-out design shown in  FIG. 44  may expand to reveal four secondary work surfaces  126   f  simultaneously. 
       FIGS. 45-48  show example half shelves  140   b  according to some embodiments disclosed herein. As shown from  FIGS. 45-17 , a slidable portion  182  (e.g., approximately half of the upper surface area of the shelf) of the shelf retracts beneath a portion of the remaining, fixed portion  184  of the shelf  140   b  to leave an open space over roughly half of the surface area of the shelf. The open space left by the half shelf may allow large items from the shelf below to extend up past the half shelf and/or may allow clearance for bins and items stored on the door panels when closed. The half shelf  140   b  may prevent the various bins or tool holders mounted to the inside of the door from causing interference inside the cabinet when the doors are closed. 
     In some embodiments, the fixed portion  184  of the half shelves  140   b  may have lateral supports  186  that support the slidable portion  182  on either side, and guide tracks  188  on the lateral supports guide the slidable portion between a deployed position and a retracted position (e.g., via engagement between pins or protrusions on the slidable portion and the tracks). In the deployed position, the slidable portion  182  may be disposed at or below a height of the fixed portion  184 . During retraction, the slidable portion  182  may move downward and rearward beneath the stationary half panel (e.g., following the tracks  188  shown in  FIG. 47 ), such that the two portions are disposed at the same height or substantially the same height when the full surface area of the shelf  140   b  is in use.  FIG. 48  depicts three example half shelves  140   b  in a cabinet with the slidable portions  182  in a retracted position to accommodate paint cans on the fixed portion  184  and large objects in the void left by the retraction of the slidable portion  182 . In some embodiments, two or more half shelves  140   b  may be used in a vertical row (e.g., similar to the foldable shelf  140   a  embodiment discussed above). In some embodiments, as illustrated in  FIG. 48 , the voids of the half shelves  140   b  may be aligned vertically to facilitate larger items extending vertically past multiple shelves. In some embodiments, the half shelves  140   b  may be staggered vertically between the left and right sides of the cabinet (e.g., the vertical position of the left-side half shelves is between the vertical position of the right-side half shelves). In some embodiments, the half shelves  140   b  may be vertically or horizontally aligned. 
       FIGS. 49-57  depict embodiments of a cabinet using a plurality of accessory storage bins  132   a - 132   d ,  132   f  for various small parts and tools.

In operation, the distal supporting portion  218  of the locking foot  208  may further be configured with a lower surface (e.g., the flat surface depicted in  FIGS. 64B-64C ) capable of supporting the cabinet on ground. 
     With continued reference to  FIGS. 64B-64C , the locking element  210  may be secured to a bottom surface of a top wall  138   b  of the lower cabinet unit (e.g., the cabinet shown in  FIG. 64A ), such as by welding, screwing, or other attachment means such that the locking element  210  extends downwardly from the bottom surface of the top wall. The locking element  210  may be accessed via an opening in the top wall  138   b  of the lower cabinet unit. In the depicted embodiment, the locking element  210  includes two angled support arms  222  extending inwardly towards each other from a proximal portion  224  of the locking element to the distal portion  226  of the locking element. The distal portion  226  may extend between respective distal ends of each of the two angled support arms  222 . The proximal portion  224  may define flanges extending from each of the angled support arms  222 . The locking element  210  may further comprise openings  230  for receiving the pin member  212  therethrough. In the depicted embodiment, the locking foot  208  and the locking element  210  may have the same, matching shapes, and they may be oriented in the same orientation during engagement, which orientations are shown in  FIGS. 64B-64C . 
     In the embodiment depicted in  FIG. 64B , the pin member  212  comprises a bolt  232  and nut  234  for securing the two cabinet units together via the locking foot  208  and locking element  210 . To lock the two cabinets, the locking foot  308  may be inserted into the opening  220  in the top wall of the lower cabinet unit to nest between the angled support arms  222  of the locking element  210 , which may cause the openings  228 ,  230  in the locking foot and locking element to align. Once aligned, the bolt  232  may be inserted through all four openings and the nut secured on the opposite side to hold the cabinet units together. 
     In the embodiment depicted in  FIG. 64C , the pin member  212  comprises two pin caps  236  disposed on a rod  238 . In the depicted embodiment, the rod  238  is secured to a center flange  240  mounted to the distal supporting portion  218  of the locking foot  208 . Springs  244  may engage the center flange  240  and the proximal ends of the pin caps  236  to urge the pin caps outwardly. During engagement, the upper cabinet unit may be secured to the lower cabinet unit by inserting the locking foot  208  into the opening  220  in the top wall of the lower cabinet unit. The pin caps  236  may naturally extend through the openings  228  in the locking foot  208  and may be urged inwardly towards the center flange  240  by the user and/or the contour of the angled support arms  222  of the locking element  210 . The pin caps  236  may then snap through the openings  230  in the locking element  210  when the openings  228 ,  230  in the locking foot  208  and locking element  210  align. To unlock the cabinet units, the process may be reversed by the user compressing the pin caps  236  until the locking foot  208  releases the locking element  210 . The locking foot  208  may also comprise one or more outer flanges  242  for guiding and limiting the motion of the pin caps  236  as shown in  FIG. 64C . 
     The pin member may include other engaging elements, such as a pin, clip, magnet, screw, tab, or other removable fastener. 
     As discussed herein, any combination of the disclosed cabinets and related components may be made as an individual unit, either with a unitary structure or a modular structure. In some embodiments, the attachment mechanisms depicted in  FIGS. 64A-64C  may be used to allow a user to later assemble to cabinets that have been manufactured and purchased separately. In some embodiments, the work surface may attach via the same connector shown in  FIGS. 64A-64C . In the embodiments disclosed herein, the modular cabinet  104  may be sold as a single item (e.g., 2 parts connected) but allow the individual purchaser to reconfigure the unit (or multiple units) to create new configurations specific to their garage, shop or place of business. For example, multiple lower sections could be positioned to erect a work table/island, or the two top halves used on either side of a single bottom half to make a miter saw station. 
       FIG. 65  depicts an example two axis door hinge  154  according to some embodiments. The depicted hinge  154  may be used with any of the door embodiments shown and described herein. The depicted hinge  154  includes two offset axes of rotation  246 ,  248  (depicted as dashed lines) about which the door can rotate through the door&#39;s range of motion. The hinge may be configured to rotate 90 degrees or more from the closed position (e.g., the position shown in the first image of  FIG. 65 ) on the cabinet frame to the open position (e.g., the position shown in the last, bottom image of  FIG. 65 ). The two-axis hinge  154  may prevent interference with the frame of the cabinet when the door is opened to its fullest extent. 
     In any of the embodiments discussed herein, the doors of cabinet may be outwardly located from the front edge of the cabinet housing to allow for the doors to open greater than 90 degrees. The two-axis door hinge  154  may facilitate greater accessibility of the cabinets by allowing the doors to open wider than would otherwise be achieve if the door resides within (or planar to) the surrounding cabinet housing. In some embodiments, the resulting visual frame of the cabinet can be seen when standing in front of the unit even though it is backwardly offset from the door. 
     The left side of the depicted hinge  154  further includes a rapid assembler device  250  which allows quick installation of the door. The pin  254  and spring  252  of the rapid assembler device  250  mates into a female slot of the converse shape in the frame of the door to quickly connect the door to the cabinet while avoiding awkward handling issues and time-consuming fasteners. For example, a tip of the pin may engage with a hole in the door in some embodiments. Although the spring  252  is depicted extending through the frame of the rapid assembler device, it may be compressed between the frame and the tab  258  to urge the pin  254 . In some embodiments, another connector, such as a plate, arm, or other connecting element, may be used instead of the rapid assembler device to allow the door to pivot about the second axis. In the embodiment of  FIG. 65 , the hinge  154  includes a plate  256  configured to attach to the cabinet and a tab  258  configured to insert into the door and be actuatable by a user. The plate  256  includes a hinge joint  262  configured to define the first axis  246 . A body  160  of the hinge  154  then connects to the plate  256  at the hinge joint  262 . 
     The second axis of rotation  248  is defined at an intersection of the frame of the rapid assembler device  150  and the body  260  (e.g., the rapid assembler device  150  rotates about the axis  248  between the right-most image and the lower-most image of  FIG. 65 ). The second axis of rotation  248  is then spaced from and parallel to the first axis  246  in the depicted embodiment. 
     With reference to  FIG. 71 , a top-down diagram of the hinge  154  connected to the cabinet and door is shown. In the depicted view, the rapid assembler device  250  connects the hinge  154  and the door and rotates about the second axis  248  relative to the body  260 , and the body  260  rotates about the first axis  246  relative to the plate  256 , which plate is connected to the cabinet. 
     Turning to  FIGS. 66-70 , an example drawer configuration is shown according to some embodiments discussed herein. With reference to  FIG. 66  a large drawer  124   h  is shown as part of a modular cabinet  104 , and the drawer may be used in any cabinet unit configuration disclosed herein, or as its own unit. The depicted large drawer  124   h  extends the full height of the drawer unit and includes one or more sliding drawer features within it. With reference to  FIG. 68 , the large drawer  124   h  may include a rack  264  configured to slide relative to a body  268  of the drawer on one or more sliding elements  266  attached to the body. One or more accessory storage bins  132   g  may be disposed on the rack  264 . In some embodiments, one or more drawers may be attached to the body  268  of the drawer via the sliding elements  266 . The sliding drawer features may move with the large drawer body  268  and/or may move independently as described herein. The large drawer  124   h  may be attached to the surrounding cabinet via one or more sliding elements  270  (e.g., drawer glides as disclosed with respect to any drawer embodiment herein). The inner, sliding drawer features (e.g., the rack  264  and the accessory storage bins  132   g ) may attach only to the large drawer in some embodiments (e.g., via the sliding elements  266 . In some embodiments, the large drawer unit  124   h  may be a modular cabinet unit used as described with respect to the other cabinet units described herein. 
     With reference to  FIGS. 67-70 , the internal components of example large drawers are shown. With reference to  FIG. 68 , the drawer may include a small tray  132   g , a large tray  132   g , a wire rack  264 , and an outer large drawer body  268 . With reference to  FIG. 67 , the small tray  132   g  may slide right or left within the large tray and may include repositionable dividers  272 . The large tray  132   g  may rest on top of the wire shelf and may have handles on the right and left sides for easy removal and positioning. The large tray  132   g  may also include repositionable dividers  272  and may include a foam pad insert in the bottom. The wire rack  264  may be connected to the large drawer body  268  to hold the removable trays  132   g  discussed above. The wire rack  264  may telescope into the cabinet to allow user access to the lower portion of the large drawer (e.g., as shown in  FIG. 66 ). For example,  FIGS. 69 and 70  show the wire rack  264  in each of the respective inward and outward positions for allowing or restricting access to the lower large drawer. 
     Each of the aforementioned units, components, and features may be incorporated in whole or in part into any of the embodiments described herein. For example, a single, horizontal shelf may include two or more of the various shelf configurations described herein.
