Since I purchased this I have had no problems with it. I dont use it daily and havent had it for very long (1 month) so I cannot really comment on its long term durability but I can say that everything functions as it should so far. One thing I can say is that the extra space that you get from the 26 1/2 inch depth cabinet (as opposed to an 18 1/2 inch depth file cabinet)really makes a HUGE difference in how much you can file away.
We use these to store small automotive parts so they are organized. This cabinet does fine for that. the metal is thin and flimsy but this is understandable for the price overall for the price this is the best I could find after many hours of shopping. First item arrived damaged (large dent at the bottom) so check them when they arrive to save yourself the headache of having to call and arrange them to be picked back up.
I am using this for personal filing. It has a nice "stopper wire frame" which can help keep the files upright in case you are only filling up half the space of the cabinet.
We purchased this cabiet to replace a lower end "cheap" model. The lock on the old cabinet was not secure at all. This new cabinet has an excellent locking system. Also the drawers operate very smooth on this new cabinet. A great purchase for any office/ home office enviroment.
