Filing cabinet

The cabinet itself is very nice and works well but the first one that was sent to me was dented so it had to be returned. The return was easy and fast. Luckily the second cabinet looked fine.
4 drawer letter cabinet good but made a little cheap

Received 4 drawer letter filing cabinet the next day as promised. Driver took it upstairs for me. It is exactly what we wanted The only thing it is made a little cheap I was expecting something a little more heavy duty but it's okay.
Sturdy nice light color draws slide decently. I subtracted one star because the divider for holding up the files if the drawer is filled less than fully is not attached to the drawer--it doesn't slide back and forth as it does on more expensive models but instead must be inserted by hand into holes along the sides of the drawer. This isn't a huge deal but it is mildly annoying. Since the unit is so inexpensive I expected some drawbacks and that's the only one I've found so far.
I desperately needed another filing cabinet for my fairly small church office. I already have a very large 5~drawer cabinet & 2 very small 2~draw cabinets. This 4~draw model was a perfect choice! And the pick~up at the store went smoothly because 2 employees placed the box into my car! A definite 5 star purchase! ~~~JMR from VF
Solid file cabinet. Drawers fully extend. Smooth rolling action. Lock feel secure enough - not 'Fort Knox' but not 'suitcase luggage' either - but locks are really just to keep the honest people honest. Shipping was quick and the unit arrive undamaged - very robust packaging. There is a space in the very front of the drawers where a file might 'fall' into but the file would have to be very thin and even then it doesn't fall down - just gets stuck in the front. I also had to hit the thumb catches of the draw with a little of WD-40's 'dry lubricant' version (the stuff for tools and tool steel) because their movement was kind of stiff and noisy. They now operate very smoothly and quietly. Neither of these point are really worth knocking a star off for.
I ordered this file cabinet on a Tuesday afternoon and it was at my door on Wednesday morning. Wow! I was very impressed with the speedy delivery. I have been recommending Staples to my friends. As for the cabinet itself I am much pleased with it. It accommodates both my hanging files and manila folders easily. The backer bars that keep the files to the front in a partially filled drawer are simple rods that attach in a series of holes in the side of the drawer. They may be a little clunky if you have to move them often but they do have the important advantage of taking almost no space unlike the sliders in my other cabinets. I also ordered the wheeled caddy so I can move the cabinet around when I need to. It assembled quickly and works well.
