Filing Cabinet
on September 21, 2026
Posted by: Steph
This filing cabinet is not working purchasing. The drawers only open half ways. The cabinet doesn’t seem very sturdy. The key is hard to turn. I have only had it a few days so I know the lock won’t hold up long. I am returning it and getting a better one.

Good value and size for small home offices

Good 4-drawer filing cabinet for the relatively small size of my home office. The safety feature that prevents opening more than one drawer is smart and works well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very cheap, crushed top and scratched

Picked up 2 in store. One is crushed on top like someone sat on it. Idk if I can even place a printer on top they feel like they’ll cave in with any weight at all.

Bought a black one as white one not in stock ! Put the black one in a 'not-so-obvious- place where its color lends a sense of decoy! Put the white on in a similar place where its color does same. Neither item seems easy to access and tends to detour from a qik grab! Besides, they are not big yet not so small! All that is to say these cabinets lock the top small and the first larger drawer beneath small. They store sensitive frequently used items. When I run off for a couple days, these cabinets seems great for a quick desk clear, lock and go. Would be great if the bottom (third regular sized) drawer also locked BUT I shall work around.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The drawers are so hard to open and close. I have tried multiple things like closing all and trying to open 1, but that does not work either. Not sure how to get the drawers to work properly

It sucks. I would never buy a cabinet witjhout see one in person again. It isn't very deep. can hardly get drawers open. and when you put files in that scrap against above drawer. I rate it a minus 10

The filing cabinet is small and attractive for a home office. The white color is nice and the top drawer is useful for scissors, pens, or hanging file folder tabs.
However, the drawers are lightweight and not made for heavy use like a commercial filing cabinet. Perfect for my home office though since I needed a little extra filing space.
I would recommend this to a friend!
