While I did not expect a thick outer wall on this file cabinet I was surprised to see how thin it was. Felt like a soda can. The right side had a lot of small dents and one huge dent. The shipping box was undamaged so we did not see the damage until we unboxed it. I ended up taking the drawers out and pushing the dents back out as best I could.
Mine arrived in a pristine carton with no dings or dents. Cabinet is solidly-built as evidenced by it's weight. Drawers close easily and firmly with a click and all of them lock. Far better than the old one I got at a big box department store years ago that would dent with ease. Highly recommended.
