You get what you pay for. This is an inexpensive filing cabinet that serves its intended purpose in my case. It's a very dull gray but it sure looks nice after I spray painted it. ;)
This file cabinet is perfect for our needs for a home office. Easy assembly sturdy drawers slide with ease. Best thing is you do not need to purchase any extra hang rails. Top drawer is perfect for hiding away your adding machine stapler or anything else you want off of your desk when not in use. We are planning on purchasing another one.
I purchased three of these files after moving and having less cabinet space in my new home office. These files were easy to assemble with only handle to install. Although not built with heavy gauge steel there are strong enough for file storage. I think they are an excellent buy at the price I paid.
Of course it is lightweight and not full suspension- you pay a lot more for that- but it is crisp in design and sturdy. It is a dark grey without markings and attractive- i.e. innocuous. The lock is on the bottom drawer- oddly but that means you are locking one drawer to another rather than to the chest. That makes it a deterrent- not a safe lock. It doesn't have glides for legal size folders only letter size but it is slotted on sides for glides. I am using it only for letter size filing so I am not concerned. I think AFTER you look at it you could find the right kind of legal glides.
This is just what I needed for my private practice working out of my home. I like the fact that I can lock it which is essential. The price was right and it is not the heaviest metal but good enough for my purposes.
