overall a neat little file cabinet--but things to know

Here are some points that I wish had been in other reviews: 1. The bottom (file) drawer has metal bars embedded in the tops of all four sides. This means that you have office file cabinet-like racks for hanging files--letter or legal. You do not need an additional rack in order to use hanging files. This was a wonderful surprise! 2. The two top drawers have actual storage space that is only 2" deep. This was not so wonderful. I wished they were deeper. But the cabinet is very compact. 3. All the drawers have professional metal mechanisms that I have seen in office filing cabinets. So far that means they move in and out easily. 4. Putting the wheels on requires some real patience--the holes for the screws are small and so are the screws. You may have to put the cabinet upside down to get a good angle for attaching them but the cabinet is heavy so righting it can be challenging. 5. The first cabinet I received from Staples had to be replaced because there was a chip on the top. Gladly they got one out to me the next day. The second cabinet still had blemishes including a small cracked area on the bottom but since they were invisible I just let it go. Staples it's really important to check merchandise before sending it. And definitely the customer should check before trashing the package supplies. 6. I asked about the company that produced the cabinet. I was told it was assembled overseas. It was shipped from China. 7. I really appreciated the help I received from the Staples department that was apparently tasked with handling repairs but I was referred to them before the purchase and I asked lots of questions. They were very persistent in the search for my answers. I would recommend it if none of the above bothers you.

Finally I have a clean desk at home! The cabinet is well priced and looks as advertised. The only minor criticism is that the bottom file drawer does not close flat against the frame.

This cabinet is great! The cabinet came mostly assembled. Just add the casters and drawer pulls and your done. It’s a bit heavy but that works well since you don’t have the problem lighter cabinets have where you try to pull open the drawer and either the cabinet moves or starts to tip over.

I had to get a replacement immediately. Somehow while getting the handles and casters out of the drawers to install the track on the main file drawer broke. As soon as I had screwed in the last screw for the casters and tried to open the main drawer I found that I could not. I had to immediately remove the screws and attempt to get it back in the box. Thankfully UPS was able to pick it up from my apartment and I received a replacement the next day. I'm doubtful of how long it will last but it gets the job done right now for what I need.

This filing cabinet was just perfect for my office and fit in exactly like I needed it to. I didn't need the wheels as it was going under a desk so the height was perfect and the handles were very easy to install.

Purchased to replace another cabinet and this was perfect. Minimal effort to get the hardware on and have it ready for use in less than 30 minutes. It’s roomy and fits in perfectly in my desk nook. Would certainly recommend!

Nice white wood finish and fits with other furniture in the den. Easy to assemble but my only grip is there are no instructions on how to remove the drawers. I couldn't lift the box in came in so opened it pealed back the top and bottom and removed the cardboard. Took awhile to figure out how the drawers are removed from from the runners--one "clip" is pushed up and the other side is pushed down and they easily slip off the runners. Instructions for that should be included. With the drawers removed I could lift the body and move it so I could install the wheel sets.
