I purchased this unit to house my mother's financial records and my own investment quarterly statements. It is fine for this purpose. It fits nicely under the desk / table and is large enough to store many files. Care must be taken to prevent both drawers from opening at the same time or the unit will tend to fall forward. In other words it is not the heaviest sturdiest-made file cabinet I could have purchased but it is fine for my purposes and the price was right. I like it.
