not what was expected

This filing cabinet is definitely not what I expected. It is very cheaply made. Even with each drawer filled to capacity it still rocks back and forth when you open the drawer. Definitely not worth the price I paid.
It arrived quickly but was dented when I opened the box. The front edge was severely dented and several places on one side were dented. I am ordering another one and returning this. Hopefully the next one will not be damaged.
Due to small spaces issues I needed a filing cabinet which I could put a 100lbs safe on. I read many other cabinet reviews which stated the metal was cheap/flimsy. I found this one and gave it a shot. It hold the safe on top without any issue and I haven't had any issues using the drawers. Very well built! I'd order it again if I needed to.
Delivered twice with damages. Rather flimsy sheet metal.

It was a decent sized cabinet but it was delivered several days late the first time and it was dented on 2 sides. I asked them to replace the item and the replacement was delivered a week later with worse dents. I returned the second one too. Very bad service for a chain that big!!
Thin Metal Cheaply Made No Reinforcement Poor Construction

This is a prime example of a substandard product marketed as commercial quality. The construction and design is very poor. Unlike the solid file cabinets we have all known and used this file is constructed of very thin metal. Thin metal is not only used for the exterior but the walls of the drawers are also far too thin for a quality product. The handles are riveted directly to the thin steel drawer fronts. I have seen these pull through the drawer front when opened with only a half full drawer. I was unable to find double walls or reinforcement anywhere in this cabinet. Do not waste time or money. Save a couple hundred dollars more and buy a real file cabinet. Unlike the Staples file cabinets of yesterday this is junk. Too many customers are unsatisfied yet they do not want to deal with returning a four drawer file. Do not make this mistake. Do not purchase this product.
