I needed something to put old job folders in and this does do that. But they are poorly made and if used on a daily basis they wouldn't hold up. Ok for old stuff I guess........

My 3 drawer metal storage cabinet is of good quality. Very stable. Good strong hardware. Nice and roomy.

I am returning this file cabinet because it it so flimsy. The side rails are made of plastic and fall off their glides each time you open the drawer. Terrible construction - a tin foil box.

the handles were in the inside. I understand they need to be protected but they were screwed extremely tight. They were so tight I almost cried I did not have the strength to unscrew them to turn the handles around correctly.

This cabinet is made of thin gage steel but seems sturdy enough for infrequently accessing files. It has raw sheet metal seams exposed on the underside which are a great risk for use in a room with hardwood floors. The frame on the underside is not amenable to attaching glides so I laid a piece of particle board under mine. One of my handles had a screw or tap broken off in its screw hole preventing me from attaching it to the drawer. A week after contacting customer service a replacement hasn't arrived yet. Be careful to only open 1 drawer at a time or the cabinet will tip forward. The cabinet has an open bottom so I can't lay counterweights in it. The lock is really chintzy and can be easily defeated with a screwdriver or butter knife. It'll do ok to hold my files until next year's tax time but I wouldn't recommend it for a home office where files must be accessed multiple times a day.

I was disappointed that to stabilize it has to be anchor bolted to a wall. Living in a mobile home this will make a hole in the wall. I had expected better quality from Staples having purchased file cabinets used from office supply companies years ago.
