I bought this filing cabinet on sale. Cheap. I was really surprised at how sturdy it was and how well everything moves and fits together. A good deal at full price. A steal on sale.
I had a Sauder double wide file cabinet that I owned for 15 years and was stuffed with all my paperwork that needs to be kept. However it did not survive our move well and finally fell apart. I was desperate for file cabinets to replace it and wanted something at a very low price. This model had the right price! I was able to transfer all my files into the new cabinets (I bought 2). Actually this surprised me because they looked smaller than what I had. The one problem that I have with them is: when the drawer is full you cannot see the files at the back. In order to see them or pull paper out of them I have to remove some front files to make room to slide the back files far enough forward to access them. Recommended for people that don't save everything!
The file cabinets came with bent drawers which was surprising given the box was intact. I put one handle on the drawer and tried to pull it out. The front panel of the drawer almost came off with nothing in it at all. This product is flimsy and overall useless.
The box was almost impossible to get open. One of the cabinets was damaged and had to be returned to the store While there I did pick up the caddy but forgot to use my 15% off coupon. Have not actually started to use the cabinet so cannot say. I would really like to know why your store will accept my checks but not my Credit Card????
You get what you pay for. This is an inexpensive filing cabinet that serves its intended purpose in my case. It's a very dull gray but it sure looks nice after I spray painted it. ;)
I like the convenience of having three drawers one to keep bills or current papers. I had searched everywhere for a perfect file cabinet that was reasonably priced and that locked. I found this file cabinet at Staples in La Mesa California. The sales person was wonderful he not only helped me put the file cabinet in the cart but he helped be place it in my van! I have learned what NOT to do: I previously purchased a file cabinet on-line...well I had to put it together and it was just junk! When I contacted the company they told me that because I put it together I would not be able to return it! Just what do I do with a file cabinet that the drawers won't close? Live and learn...this is something not to buy on-line.
