Purchased the Vertical Office Cabinet approx. a month ago to replace a similar item which was no longer functional. Arrived the following day in perfect order. Impressed by the quality of the product as well as the smooth operation of the drawers as well as the locking mechanism. Good value for the price paid & would definitely recommend to those looking for a cabinet required for small office requirements.
Solid worth the little extra to have product that will give years of service. I have a cheaper one that does not have as much space and is always tipping over.
After looking at several vertical file cabinets on line I thought the best deal for my use was this particular file to fit my needs. I wanted a cabinet that was four drawers high in the realm of 27" deep and letter style. The area I was putting this file in was a little less than 24" wide so this was just the right fit. It took a little experimenting to find the right maneuver to remove the drawers for easier transport to its final resting spot once I had it in the house. I could not find any directions to perform this task. The file "followers" that keep the files upright are a poor design.
We are average height but this allows us to access the top drawer easily as opposed to the 5 drawer models. It locks which is important for client confidentiality. The depth adjusters are different but work just fine.
This file cabinet is fine for personal or small business use. It will easily hold several years worth of files and paperwork. The drawers open and close evenly and no assembly is required. File folders can be added immediately and no additional racks are needed. We haven't used the lock feature yet but keys were included. Putty color is fairly neutral and works well in most rooms. Each drawer has a box to add a label (if needed) We had it delivered which made the whole purchasing experience easy.
Every file cabinet I have ever bought has had a solid metal back stop for the files to make sure they stay upright and don't move. This has a skinny piece of metal like a thin wire that you put behind the file. It is difficult to make it work properly and if I had seen it before I never would have bought this item. I have considered returning it. I absolutely hate this feature.
