The filing cabinet looked very nice. However it was not made to hold heavy loads. The sheet metal is lightly build. It's very light in weight so it was easy to bring home. Great for simple file storage. The lock is a plus along with the top drawer that also locks.
File cabinet is more of a stylish type. The material is NOT heavy at all. I was able to lift on my own with out hesitation (female 5" 3' 130lbs.) It does come with keys and a lock to keep private but i am not sure how reliable it would be. It is not one of those heavy duty metal kind of cabinets. If you are looking for an extremely confidential file cabinet i would opt out of this one. If it is for your everyday docs then i would definitely recommend.
Was in the market for a new file cabinet. My old 20 year old one was falling apart. One of drawers sliding rack fell apart. I had a tough time opening the drawer. Took me a half hour to get it open with a large screw driver and a hammer. Any way I went to my near by Staples store and low and behold they one on sale. Just what I needed a 3 drawer metal file cabnet at a very fair price. Staples to the rescue. I ve been shopping at this Staples store since they opened. The checkout lady was very helpful to me and I told so. Thank Staples.
This file cabinet is built to be very sturdy. Made of graphite and grey in color it's a beautiful addition to an office rather than a typical "black" two drawer metal filing cabinet. It's use for either buiness or personal makes it a very good choice. We have two and use one for business and one for our personal files and it suits both very well. As stated the design will fit in with any decor from regular officespace to home office to warehouse or anywhere else this cabinet may need to be used.
