Great Filing Cabinet

We ordered this filing cabinet for our office. Nice thing was it came fully assembled all we had to do was attach the handles. We love that it has two normal sized cabinets for hanging file folders and organization as well as the top drawer which is a great size for storing your basic office supplies so they are handy when you need them. Also the middle drawer features a lock only down side is it will only lock the top and middle drawer not the bottom drawer but that was no problem for us. We would highly recommend this product.
We purchased this file cabinet as something to set in the corner and hold files. We did not expect it to be this sturdy and durable. We like how heavy duty it is for the price. Would defiantely recommend.
It's not bad but it's not great either. The drawers don't open and close smoothly but they do close tightly which is important to me. I wish the drawers would open a bit more than they do because it makes it hard to reach the files in the back of the drawers and it seems to move a bit and not stay "squared" even though I don't move it around. Overall I'd purchase it again. The convenience of being able to get it from Staples instead of having to drive further for a lower price is a trade I'm willing to make.
This cabinet is fine for the purpose it is to be used for as far as size and amount of material to be stored in it. How ever I think it would be more useful if it had wheels so it could be movable.
This side file cabinet is AWESOME. I love how the top two drawers lock with one key but the bottom compartment is still accessible if I want to keep less-secure stuff in it. It works really well but the only thing I would change is that it opens more. Its a little hard to reach some of the files in the back half of the middle drawer. Other than that I love it and it was a great price
I already had 2 of these file cabinets but needed 2 more for all my computer files and household items with guarantees. If it's guaranteed I save all the paperwork so I know right where to find it if needed. As for computer files most programs do NOT come with manuals anymore. IF you want to read up on something you have to print it out yourself and file it! It makes life so much easier when things are in order.
I was in need of two cabinets that were ess than 26" in height to fit under a table. The cabinets will not get daily use but will be opened once or twice a month. The options available to meet both needs are very limited. I also did not want to spend $120+ per cabinet. Again options are fairly limited. The construction of this cabinet is average (certainly not intended for daily use) and meets my needs. If you are looking for a cabinet you will be getting into daily or multiple times a day this would not be a good choice. If your intended purpose is filing or reviewing a needed for once or twice a month then these are a great inexpensive choice.
