Verified Purchase:Yes
You can only use 2/3rds of the drawer. They dont open far enough to make the back 1/3 of the drawer useful. Hanging file folders get stuck in the front of the drawer because of the faulty construction of the cabinet. Would not purchase again.
Lightning fast shipping. Well packed and arrived in flawless condition. It’s a very nice piece of sub-$100 furniture. And if you level set expectations based on the price you’ll find this to be an incredible value.
I bought mainly because it came with casters which were easy to attach.Overall good quality for home office.Only issue is the locking mechanism seems little less quality. When locked if you try to open either drawer opposite corner from key lock pulls out some gives impression anyway would be easy to just pull open.
This cabinet is flimsy unstable & doesn’t lock properly. In the lock position you are able to get at least one drawer slightly open; i.e. you can see the first files. It’s great if you have nothing confidential & don’t mind it tipping over if you open the drawer to where you can access the files at the back of the drawer. It’s true that you get what you pay for. Other than that it’s a rather nice looking cabinet. (We bought it in white.) My recommendation would be to spend more money & invest in a commercial grade file.
Made of light weight sheet metal; definitely not office grade but I'm guessing it will hold up ok for relatively light home use. It came assembled with the exception of adding the wheels and handles. One wheel and screws were missing but customer service took care of that right away and I had them within a couple days. (Strangely they didn't have parts available so they sent a whole file cabinet and had me take out the parts I needed and send the second cabinet back. I suspect it wasn't the first time and soon someone else will receive a cabinet with a missing wheel. But problem solved regardless.)
