This cabinet is flimsy unstable & doesn’t lock properly. In the lock position you are able to get at least one drawer slightly open; i.e. you can see the first files. It’s great if you have nothing confidential & don’t mind it tipping over if you open the drawer to where you can access the files at the back of the drawer. It’s true that you get what you pay for. Other than that it’s a rather nice looking cabinet. (We bought it in white.) My recommendation would be to spend more money & invest in a commercial grade file.
