Never buy this!

I bought this to secure my personal files and supplies in my office. The drawers are very flimsy and with only half of a drawer filled are almost impossible to open. The drawers when locked can easily to forced open.
The only thing you have to attach are the handles. Fits well in small home office space and ideal price for a business that is just starting out and doesn't have the capital to slurge on office needs.
This is a dud to say the least. Stay far far away of this flimsy thing. I am getting a 4-drawer HON right now and throwing this thing in the garbage. BTW I have only had it 6 months and so far the handles broke off the top drawer is so flimsy it bent on the 2nd opening. Drawers don't even open or close anymore.
The lock never worked from day one because of the flimsy construction. The metal is thin and prone to bending. Internal edges are sharp and can cut you. Unit tips forward when you open the top drawer. Do yourself a favor pay a little more and get a better cabinet!
For what I intended to use this product it's suitable. I only needed something to contain my paper work in an orderly fashion. However I was disappointed after purchasing this product when I found the handles included were nothing at all like what was shown on the box. I was lured to believe they would match the color and design of the cabinet itself only to find that was far from the truth. The lock also has no point. Sure it's functional but it's more for asthetic value than any real security measure.
My husband and I purchased the cabinets so we can organize our files. We were happy cabinets arrived in a timely fashion. However one of them were bent in two places. [...]
