It took a while but we finally have a filing cabinet

Verified Purchase:Yes
After a few days of hits and misses with the delivery people we finally received a cabinet the problem was it was damaged and unusable. After some phone calls and emails we did receive an undamaged cabinet and we now have filing space in the home office. This thing is pretty basic but it is functional and does what we want. Not exactly pleasing to the eye but we weren't looking for something chic and tasteful. For the price it's not too bad and it holds a lot of files.
We purchased a filing cabinet from Staples to go with the one we already had. It's a good quality filing cabinet. We have an identical one for at least seven years but needed a new one. It was delivered to my home 24 hours after I purchased it. This was terrific!
To say I am disappointed is an understatement. There are quite a few file cabinets available for $60 that are of similar quality to this one. This file cabinet is only suitable for light use. Inside the bottom drawer you will find two pieces that you can use if you have only a few files in the drawer. You must insert them in holes on the rails (not sliding obviously. If you have a child or pet be aware that opening the top drawer may cause the cabinet to tip over. If I had to do it over again I would NOT buy this cabinet. It will be my last office purchase from Staples!
Our organization purchased a Staples file cabinet years ago. We were trying to get the same exact one but this one is not as deep or sturdy as the first one we purchased. The drawers do not close all the way with a push like first cabinet. You must keep your hand on the drawer to close it all the way. Also it is not heavy & substantial like the other cabinet. It is very light weight & I can move it by myself without assistance. Hopefully it will not tip over when it is full of files & a drawer is open. However it will work for holding files.
