Like the filing cabinet but you can’t open both drawers if full at the same time will tip towards you. This will work well for my application. If you need to open often may not recommend this one.

I should have known that a low price meant low quality. The bottom drawer easily jumps off track and I get grease on me each time I fix it. I have to unload the drawer completely to get it back on track. The lock wouldn't keep a two year old out!!
I need an inexpensive hanging file cabinet and thought this would fit the bill. Unfortunately it is super flimsy. The drawers are not on built-in guides so if you put too many files into a draw if will take the cabinet out of square when you open the drawer. Then the draw will fll off the little bit of track. The draw will fall into the one below it. Have "fun" getting it back on track. Not recommended.
I'd only recommend this for an occasional home user. The construction is just OK with rather lightweight metal and plastic non-roller slides and the lock could be easily forced. Of course for 35 bucks (sale) it's a decent value. The biggest issue is that the drawers' pull out stops leave about 5 inches of file space still inside the cabinet so with a full drawer the only way to access files back there would be to remove about 5 inches worth up front slide the files forward then put things back when done. Also note that if you don't have files equally distributed between the top and bottom drawers the cabinet will tip forward when the loaded drawer is pulled out.
