When I got it and Found Really so little to assemble I thought GREAT But the SCREWS to ATTACH the HANDLE to THE DRAWERS are so TINY that I have spent over 3 hrs just TRYING to get them to STAY in the hole so I could tighten them and be finished. I still have no handles attached so I am really not to Thrilled. Let me explaine I am a small woman without LARGE Hands So my question is How to Larger People get those ity Bitty screws attached without losing your MINDS. Ghat's the Million Dollar Question. I guess I need NOW to go to the Hardware Store and BUTY two MORE LONGER SCREWS. Price was Great Box was great as it fit a Chair I was sending to my Gr Grandsons and had not been able to find. Just alot of packing materisl to keep it from moving.
I find this to be a perfectly functional file cabinet for a really good price. The drawers slide easily and sit flush when closed. The only issue is the screws for the handles are slightly too big so if you tighten them too much you will get a tiny discoloration in the handle where the screw is. I would consider using smaller screws if you have some.
Met my needs and got a great price for this particular color/design. It seems like it will last awhile and the lock feature is just an addeded bonus. When buying I bought 2 as I thought only the bottom drawer locked and I wanted to put crayons in markers in them out of reach from my toddler who can get into most everything else. Both drawers actually locked when you lock the bottom one into place for anyone who may be looking for only one drawer to lock at a time or may be in my similar situation and looking for something that will lock both at once.
This file cabinet is built to be very sturdy. Made of graphite and grey in color it's a beautiful addition to an office rather than a typical "black" two drawer metal filing cabinet. It's use for either buiness or personal makes it a very good choice. We have two and use one for business and one for our personal files and it suits both very well. As stated the design will fit in with any decor from regular officespace to home office to warehouse or anywhere else this cabinet may need to be used.
There is one thing that could have made this cabinet a total homerun. And that's if the lock locked all the drawers not just the top two. But besides that one detail I can not complain!
I go this for my son who is trying to organize all the papers he is accumulating (now that he is a young adult). I also gave him a box of file folders and hanging folders. It is just what he needed to get a handle on all the papers one begins to accumulate as they begin setting up their life.
