I originally went into Staples to buy drawing chalk for my kids and some cardboard file boxes for storing files. I saw this file cabinet on sale and for almost the same price I would have paid for the cardboard boxes I could buy this! Much better deal it locks is easy to put handles on only downside is metal is not very heavy duty so no putting a printer or anything on top it would probably dent it. Besides that I think it is a great buy for the price and from my understanding from a sales associate it goes on sale every tax season.
I bought two of these file cabinets at once; upon opening them up I was quite disappointed in their quality. I did not bang or drop or hit the filing cabinet at all and as I was screwing on the handle and attempted to close the drawer it was sticking; after much looking and wondering why it was not closing I finally lifted the cabinet only to find that a rim had bent upwards and as a result the drawer would not close as it should! I was able to take my thumb and bend the rim back down and voila the drawer closed. So I'm a little disappointed.
My file cabinet arrived at my door within days after ordering. I immediately unpackaged it to find that it was in excellent condition. The only assembly required was screwing the handles on the drawers which was very easy. The cabinet fit into the space near my desk perfectly. The drawers open and close smoothly and the two keys which came with it work great with no problem. I know I will be satisfied and happy with my cabinet for years to come. The whole process of ordering on line from Staples was very favorable.
Bought a few of these to sit under a countertop in an office. Actually had them painted to match other items of furniture. Could not have asked for a better result! Note; these are not ultra-sturdy or reinforced for industrial applications but are perfectly adequate under normal office situations and you could not beat the price.
This filing cabinet is the perfect size for a home office. Tucks away perfectly in a closet. Easy slide drawers and lightweight but durable construction. Very reasonably priced. Good value.
