A cheap and flimsy file cabinet
on February 2, 2010
Posted by: Paula K.
I bought this file cabinet for long term storage which may be it's only saving grace. I thought it looked decent and was ''good enough'' for my purposes. However the metal is very thin and bends with weight. One handle is loose all the time and the drawers don't pull out all the way. Underneath the metal is not polished-down so some exposed edges are sharp. The lock will keep out an infant but no one else. I wish I had spent more and got the Han unit.
Since I've moved I need to get organized. The filing cabinet I had held hanging file folders. This filing cabinet is specifically designed for those. Is that true of all filing cabinets now? The most difficult thing was attaching the handles. The screws were too small and it was somewhat awkward to secure them. Otherwise this filing cabinet fits the bill.
Perfect for a Small Home Office for long term low traffic storage. Not for heavy office use. Don't use it as a table. It's cheap it's basic it's a file cabinet. If you want full extension drawers and something you can park a Commercial Use Copier on get a Hirsh or Hon Cabinet. Mine holds all my music books and extra/old sheet music the drawers slide decent and fully loaded it seems a lot more stable. It holds stuff and you can't beat them for [$].
