The Metal is Too Thin
on January 16, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
This cabinet looks great. Drawers slide easily. Will work for my home use. However I think for the price the overall cabinet feels too thin flimsy not sturdy enough. Would not recommend this cabinet for business purpose.
Have a paper management problem? This is a great solution for your home office. The drawers are smooth and have high sides. Be sure to buy hanging file folders as well. I like the Pendaflex brand best. This file cabinet is not very pretty but it does the job well. We have it positioned at the edge of our large desk. It is doing double-duty as a magnetic bulletin board.
This cabinet replaces smaller and less sturdy models and I am looking forward to a clutter-free office. I wish it was about 2 inches less deep so I could fit it into my closet and could remove the drawers to make it lighter for moving. Eventually I plan to scan many of the files to reduce the paper clutter so another cabinet won't be needed. I bought mine on sale and online with free shipping and delivery so regard it as a good value.
It was made much better than I thought all the draws locked when closed didn't need the old metal racks to hold the hanging folder. And the price was great. Thank you
For the price I expected a piece of tin that would hold some papers. I was pleasantly surprised with the good quality ease of opening and sturdy design. You can't beat this unit for the money!
This is built with very thin sheet metal no internal frame or bracing and light-duty slides; and is packed with minimal protection. When unboxed it had multiple serious dents and inoperable drawers from damage either at the warehouse or when one end of the box fell 9 inches from my truck bed onto the flat tailgate as I unloaded it. The quality and packing of this product are very disappointing (given the price) and I don't have any confidence that the product is strong enough to function when the drawers are filled with files.
