That is SHIT by comparisson.. The industrial one has proper latching and locking drawers, roller bearings and its afuck sight bigger than that  cabinet and top box is 5foot+ tall.
I've got one of those tool boxes for putting sand paper and painting stuff in.. I'll take a photo of them together

The chest is about 50cm tall and the cabinet is 85cm + wheels so its nearly 1.5 meters about 5 foot.. Open the lid and its 6 foot

You can get the red 7 drawer top and bottom boxes for £199.99. Whats the difference other than the colour?
Edit: and the fact ones called professional and the others called industrial

The biggest difference is the roller bearing draw runners. You need to feel both to describe the difference but you can definately tell which are the better quality.

Ahhh might go have a play in Halfords then IMO though if you want something half decent for your home then why not get the red one? or if your after high end quality why not just buy Mac Tools, Snap-on, Teng?

The quality is as good as Mac and in some respects Snap-on, you get a life time guarentee too..
The drawers them selves are on roller bearings as ian says and no matter how much is in them they open smooth as silk.. Also the drawers latch shut unlike the professional ones.

To give you an idea of size, cabinet:
Chest:

Its just the chest I've got for sale.. I'll take a photo of the ones down the workshop.. It weighs nearly 40kg EMTPY! I cant even pick it up.
I've got this one for sale for £160 if anyone is interested.

My dad got 2 of them for work (The red ones), Hes had them for about 6 or 7 years now and he says they still work like new. They've been bashed around a bit and are covered in paint and filler dust and even had vans backed into them.
Think most of them where he works have gone off snap on and onto these as there a cheaper alternative and have the same quality.
