Very attractive cabinet; sturdy with roomy drawers. Able to fit more files per drawer than my previous cabinet which was flimsy and files always got stuck. In fact I went from 4 drawers to two with this purchase. Drawers slide open quite easily. It was a little more expensive than what I wanted to spend but I certainly got what I paid for - a great cabinet.
This cabinet comes with a wire file keeper that you can position so that the hanging file folders don't slip backward in a partially filled drawer. It's a simple design compared to others I've seen - but very effective and easy to use.Cardboard "feet" that the product is shipped with are very useful for keeping your floor from being scratched while moving the cabinet into position - you might want to hold onto them!
Use the file cabinet for personal files; I use hanging file folders.Inside drawers are made so you don't need steel file framesCabinet made out of is flimsey material; the file came dented on one side but it would have been too much trouble to bring it back to the store & have another one shipped which could have come in worse condition. For the price I paid [$] was way too much for the poor construction of material it's made from.
Cabinet drawer dimensions allow standard binders to be stored with binding visible for easy filing and access. Take note of cabinet depth to ensure a good fit.
The drawer construction is much more flimsy than older previously purchased cabinets. The wire drawer organizers are a real step down from past sliding brackets in past file cabinets
I purchased this filing cabinet for our church choir room to organize and file music. When we finally worked the filing cabinet up the stairs and into the room and unpacked it from the box there was a medium size dent in the back corner and a small dent in the front of the cabinet. The drawers still work so we are not trying to drag it back to the store. It just does not look the best. I did call the store the following morning so they would be aware of the problem and check any other cabinet in the same shipment.
