Aloha!
I prefer metal cabinets. True, they don't have that "earthy" appeal as
wood does but it works. All museums have switch to metal over the years
because of the affects of Byne's Disease. And my cabinets are all Sears
Craftman tool cabinets. Had them for +20yrs now & no problems. When Tucker
was still alive he recommended Craftsman steel cabinets because the steel
gauge used was very thick & the over-all cost was very affordable. One
turn of the key locks everything & i stack them since most are modulated
in nature.

I've seen metal map cabinets that are well made & are ideal storage
lockers. Vidmar seems to be the prefered choice. But i still prefer
Craftsman brand. And the black "foam-like" drawer liners that Sears sells
will not break down or tarnish the shells they contact. Also when stacking
use a rubber mat between units. Craftsman sells a mat just for this that
works wonders.
