Great file cabinet!

Met my needs and got a great price for this particular color/design. It seems like it will last awhile and the lock feature is just an addeded bonus. When buying I bought 2 as I thought only the bottom drawer locked and I wanted to put crayons in markers in them out of reach from my toddler who can get into most everything else. Both drawers actually locked when you lock the bottom one into place for anyone who may be looking for only one drawer to lock at a time or may be in my similar situation and looking for something that will lock both at once.
You can't complain at this price. I needed additional space for my out of date records. The legal size files just fit if put in sideways. The cabinet came without a set of keys but customer service quickly responded and the manufacturer promptly mailed me a set within the week.
It was a tough search for a basic inexpensive file cabinet that would fit underneath my L-shaped desk as most were taller than the 26" clearance that was available. The small footprint of this fine piece also kept it from interfering with my desk chair while I work yet remained conveniently accessible only a chair-turn away. The drawers open smoothly. The only drawback of this cabinet is that it is so light that until it is filled the entire cabinet may slide forward when a drawer is opened depending on the surface that it is sitting on. Mine is a bare smooth floor.
File cabinet is more of a stylish type. The material is NOT heavy at all. I was able to lift on my own with out hesitation (female 5" 3' 130lbs.) It does come with keys and a lock to keep private but i am not sure how reliable it would be. It is not one of those heavy duty metal kind of cabinets. If you are looking for an extremely confidential file cabinet i would opt out of this one. If it is for your everyday docs then i would definitely recommend.
The filing cabinet looked very nice. However it was not made to hold heavy loads. The sheet metal is lightly build. It's very light in weight so it was easy to bring home. Great for simple file storage. The lock is a plus along with the top drawer that also locks.
