New Age Garage Cabinets at Costco: What You Need to Know
NewAge Products garage cabinets appear at Costco periodically as seasonal and limited-time deals, typically priced 15-25% below what you'd pay on NewAge's own website or at other retailers. The sets usually include 2-4 piece configurations of their Bold or Pro Series lines and are worth buying if you catch the deal. The catch is that Costco's garage cabinet selection rotates and isn't always available.
If you're specifically looking for NewAge from Costco, you'll need to either check Costco's website regularly or visit a warehouse store during the fall and spring home improvement seasons when garage products are more commonly featured. I'll cover exactly what Costco typically offers, how these sets compare to what you'd get elsewhere, and whether the savings are actually worth waiting for.
What NewAge Products Makes
NewAge Products is a Canadian company that makes modular steel garage cabinet systems. Their two main lines for garage use are the Bold Series (their entry level) and the Pro Series (their mid-to-upper tier). They also make a more premium "Garage Pro" line with stainless steel tops and different finish options.
All NewAge cabinets use a similar construction: cold-rolled steel body panels with a powder coat finish, soft-close hinges on the doors, and adjustable shelves inside. The gauge of steel varies by line, with the Pro Series using slightly heavier construction than Bold.
The cabinets are known for a clean, modern aesthetic. The Pro Series in particular has become popular with homeowners who want their garage to look sharp, with choices like midnight black, navy blue, and graphite in a shaker-style door profile.
Pro Series vs. Bold Series
Pro Series: 24-gauge steel body, solid 1-inch thick work surface on the workbench unit, stainless steel top option, full-extension soft-close drawers, 6 adjustable leveling feet, padlock-ready handles. Sets run $1,400-2,500 on NewAge's website depending on the number of pieces.
Bold Series: Similar construction but thinner gauge steel, simpler door profile, lower price. Sets run $800-1,500. Functionally good for most homeowners, though the Pro Series feels noticeably more solid when you open the doors and drawers.
What Costco Typically Offers
Costco's NewAge cabinet sets are most commonly from the Bold Series or entry-level Pro configurations. Typical Costco sets include:
- 3-piece sets: Two base cabinets plus one wall cabinet, around $800-1,000 at Costco
- 4-piece sets: Two base cabinets, one wall cabinet, one tall cabinet or workbench, around $1,100-1,400
- Occasional floor-display closeouts with more pieces at deep discounts
The exact availability depends on Costco's buying cycle. Garage products tend to show up at Costco in late winter (February-March) when people are thinking about spring home projects, and in fall.
Costco also periodically carries NewAge Products through Costco.com even when warehouse locations don't have them in stock. The online version often ships directly from NewAge and may have a wider selection of configurations than what appears in the warehouse.
How Costco Pricing Compares
NewAge doesn't consistently list the same products everywhere, so direct price comparisons can be tricky. But the pattern I've seen is:
- A Bold Series 3-piece set that retails around $1,000-1,100 on Amazon or NewAge.com often shows up at Costco for $799-899
- A Pro Series 4-piece set that lists at $1,600-1,800 appears at Costco for $1,300-1,450 when available
The savings are real, typically $150-300 per set. Combined with Costco's return policy (generally very generous on furniture and cabinets), it's a good deal if the timing works.

The Costco Shopping Logistics
There are some practical things to know about buying garage cabinets at Costco.
Inventory varies by location: Not every Costco carries garage cabinets at the same time. The warehouse club's inventory system means your local store may have different items than the store across town. Checking Costco.com is your best way to see current national availability.
Warehouse floor models: If Costco has garage cabinets on the warehouse floor, they're usually selling the actual floor display model at some point, not ordering from a back storeroom. What you see is what's available.
Return policy: Costco's return policy is generous, and they've historically accepted returns on furniture and home goods including garage cabinets. But it's worth understanding that returning a 200+ pound cabinet set to a Costco warehouse is logistically difficult. Make sure you're happy with your purchase before opening everything.
Cash & Carry: Costco garage cabinet sets are typically sold as-is for cash and carry. You load them into your vehicle yourself. A 3-piece NewAge set fits in a large SUV or truck bed if you can fit the boxes. Otherwise you'll need a rental truck or a friend with a pickup.
Alternatives If You Can't Find the Costco Deal
If the Costco timing doesn't work out, here are comparable options.
Amazon: NewAge Products sells directly on Amazon with regular sales. Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday typically bring 20-30% discounts on garage cabinet sets.
NewAge website direct: They run sales periodically (especially spring and fall) with packages that include free shipping. Free shipping on a 200-pound cabinet set is worth $100-200 in actual freight cost.
Sam's Club: Sam's Club carries some garage cabinet brands (often different from Costco) and is worth checking if you have a membership.
Home Depot: Husky and Gladiator brands are available through Home Depot and both run comparable in quality to NewAge Bold Series at similar price points.

Are New Age Cabinets at Costco Actually Worth It?
For most homeowners, yes. NewAge makes a genuinely solid cabinet that looks much better than basic Husky or entry-level metal shelving, and the Costco pricing makes the premium more palatable.
The main limitation is that it's 24-gauge steel, not the heavier 20 or 18-gauge you'd get from professional-grade products. For a homeowner storing tools, seasonal gear, and cleaning supplies, that's plenty. For a working mechanic loading cabinets daily with heavy tools, you'd want to look at professional shop cabinets.
The soft-close hardware and clean aesthetics hold up well over years of use, and NewAge's customer service is responsive if you get damaged pieces in shipping.
FAQ
Does Costco carry the NewAge Pro Series or just the Bold Series? Both have appeared at Costco, but the Bold Series or entry-level Pro configurations are more common. Full Pro Series sets with stainless tops are less frequently seen in the warehouse. Costco.com sometimes carries a broader range than the physical warehouse.
Can I add more cabinets to a Costco NewAge set later? Yes. NewAge sells individual cabinets through their website and on Amazon. Since they use a consistent design across the Bold and Pro lines, you can add matching pieces to a Costco set. Be sure to match the color and product line.
How long does NewAge cabinet shipping take if I order from Costco.com? Direct shipping through Costco.com for large garage cabinets typically takes 1-3 weeks. The cabinets ship via freight carrier, not standard UPS or FedEx. You'll receive a delivery appointment call rather than just a doorstep drop.
Do NewAge cabinets at Costco come fully assembled? No. They come flat-packed and require assembly. Most sets take 3-4 hours for two people. The instructions are clear and tools required are minimal (usually just a rubber mallet and a screwdriver).
Buying Strategy
The smartest approach is to check Costco.com now to see if NewAge sets are currently listed, then check back monthly if they're not. If you find a deal, pull the trigger. If you've been waiting more than 2-3 months without seeing the deal come up, just buy from Amazon or NewAge direct during a sale. The time you spend waiting rarely saves enough money to be worth it.
