This cabinet lacks in convenience to pull the drawers out fully to allow access to files at the rear of the drawers. You have to extend your hand to the rear area of the drawer and pull those files forward to view or reach files at the back of the drawer. Other than this the cabinet stores files fine.
I knew this cabinet was deeper than my original but I didn't realize how much extra space that would give us. We were able to fit everything from our old file cabinet and 2 file boxes into the new one with plenty of room to spare. Awesome!
We bought three of these filing cabinets several years ago and have been completely satisfied with them. Ordered another one and happy to see the quality is much the same. Would order more if needed.
This file cabinet is pretty sturdy for use in a residence. It is not as heavy as a commercial grade cabinet but it is close so we feel it is definitely adequate for home use. It is not fireproof so you might want to consider that if that is a requirement for you.
