Only about 55 lbs more than the box I used to have back their.
I put foam padding under all parts that contact the floor. The over center latches keep the drawers from rattleing and take the weight off the rails when closed. Just thought I would put a post and some pictures.

Nice box, you probably could save some weight with 1/2" MDF. My second go around, im looking to see where weight can be saved.
