This is a solid file cabinet with a matte black finish that is quality. The drawer hardward is nicely polished and the release button works smoothly. The drawer construction is tight no "looseness" or noisy action but a very smooth slide to the drawer. The cabinet comes with a built in lock and key that works fine. There are four interior "braces" that slide smoothly into slots in the drawer to position files and prevent them sliding within the drawer when it is closed or opened.
