overall a neat little file cabinet--but things to know

Here are some points that I wish had been in other reviews: 1. The bottom (file) drawer has metal bars embedded in the tops of all four sides. This means that you have office file cabinet-like racks for hanging files--letter or legal. You do not need an additional rack in order to use hanging files. This was a wonderful surprise! 2. The two top drawers have actual storage space that is only 2" deep. This was not so wonderful. I wished they were deeper. But the cabinet is very compact. 3. All the drawers have professional metal mechanisms that I have seen in office filing cabinets. So far that means they move in and out easily. 4. Putting the wheels on requires some real patience--the holes for the screws are small and so are the screws. You may have to put the cabinet upside down to get a good angle for attaching them but the cabinet is heavy so righting it can be challenging. 5. The first cabinet I received from Staples had to be replaced because there was a chip on the top. Gladly they got one out to me the next day. The second cabinet still had blemishes including a small cracked area on the bottom but since they were invisible I just let it go. Staples it's really important to check merchandise before sending it. And definitely the customer should check before trashing the package supplies. 6. I asked about the company that produced the cabinet. I was told it was assembled overseas. It was shipped from China. 7. I really appreciated the help I received from the Staples department that was apparently tasked with handling repairs but I was referred to them before the purchase and I asked lots of questions. They were very persistent in the search for my answers. I would recommend it if none of the above bothers you.

Nice Small Filing Cabinet - Not Easy to Assemble

This is a nice small moderately expensive filing cabinet. I had difficulty getting the screws to go into the drawer handles. I eventually got them in all the way but buggered up some screw heads in doing so.

Well made and functional file cabinet. The 2 pre-drilled pilot holes help with attachment of each wheel HOWEVER each wheel mechanism accommodates 4 total screws (all are provided) and without pilot holes for the other 2 screws for each wheel it is very difficult to penetrate with just a screw driver. You must use a screwdriver because there not enough room (bad angle) to use a drill - at least my drill. Good News: the wheels function fine with only 2 screws holding them on the bottom of my cabinet. I can't imagine why they didn't provide 4 pilot holes for each wheel?? In any event I now have extra screws to use on other projects.

The file cabinet is a little smaller than I expected it would be and the drawers are not deep. Ultimately it gets the job done. My biggest issue was my cabinet look like maybe someone had returned it. It had a few dents on it and looked a bit dirty.

I am very happy with my new Union & Scale Essentials 3-Drawer Vertical File Cabinet. It is built well and was easy to finish assembly all I needed to do was attach the wheels and handles.

Was thrilled that it was all assembled Only had to put on wheels and drawer handles. Very solid nice finish and drawers glide very smoothly. I also really appreciated that the delivery person brought it to my door and helped to push it inside my apartment. Well done!
