I guess you get what you pay for. Drawers won't stay on track. Locking mechanism doesn't work correctly. Cannot fill the drawers. Cheaply made but I started using it too late so I can't return it. Tips easily.
I do like the file cabinet and ordered the wheels for it and like them as well.I had a real hard time putting the handles on the drawers of the file cabinet.I would recommend the cabinet and order the wheels for it if you are going to move it around.
The metal on these is adequate. As I was affixing the handles I saw that they are a potential weak spot and I went right out and bought washers. I highly recommend you use washers to help prevent the handles from pulling out of the metal. Also they are cheap but adequate so just get in the habit of using gentle movements to open & close the drawers and I think they will last a long time. It is true that the drawers don't have rollers but they slide very smoothly. I personally went to the brick and mortar store to see if the $100 model would have rollers and it does not! So you could spend a lot more money and get drawers with the exact same mechanism. It's true that the drawers don't pull out all the way. You just have to plan and put less-used files in the back like last year's taxes or medical records. I was glad to get file cabinets I didn't have to assemble for quite a low price. I like the 2 drawer style because I can handle the boxes move them etc. plus you can put stuff on the top surface.
