I was excited to purchase this filing cabinet because I had a difficult time finding one that locked mulitple drawers and looked like a decent piece of office furniture. I read in the reviews that it was cumbersome to assemble, and I can tell you that my husband's frustration with this fully supports that notion. It took him nearly a day to assemble partly because we received instructions in Spanish, not English. Also, there are multiple parts that do not fit together well. As a result, the drawers needed to be adjusted quite a bit and I don't know if they will ever be perfect. Once I added my regularly-sized files, I had to shim up the front of the cabinet to avoid it trying to tip over when the bottom drawer is open. I am happy with the look and functionality of the cabinet, but at this price point it doesn't weigh out the frustration it takes to put it together and the fact that the parts don't fit together nicely. Two corners on the particle board for the backside were damaged as well, even though you will never see it. I just expected a little more for the amount of money I paid but it will work for a home office. I would hate to have to use it every day! The bottom of the drawers use particle board, and I laid some larger files there because they don't fit in the stand file hangers and the weight is supported just fine.
This file cabinet arrived with several damaged pieces. I have assembled several furniture products from Overstock and other companies without incident. The directions for assembly and the parts were horrible. Difficult to see parts, not clearly labled, and unable to see the positioning from the directions.
Product was poorly made. Instructions were terrible and also were wrong. I would never buy any product from this company again. It was a waste of my time and energy.
I will never buy the product again and not ever tell anyone to buy it. Cheap lock. every thing about it was way below any thin that should be on the market...
Product is very nice one assembled. It comes completely disassembled. The directions are a bit confusing and assembly takes some know how. Once assembled its very nice.
This is one of the most poorly manufactured pieces of furniture that I have ever put together. I'm pretty good at putting furniture together, but this took an entire day because so many pieces didn't actually fit - holes had to be adjusted, pieces had to be forced together to fit, etc. When we finally got it together, it managed to stay together for just a few months before drawers started coming apart and literally falling onto the drawers below. This is the biggest waste of money ever.
very satisfied with the product - would recommend to a friend
Summary: Drawers do not align Cabinet topples forward if one if the file drawers is filled and open File drawers may have a design flaw causing them to fall apart I purchased this file cabinet along with some Inval desks on behalf of the office I work for. The desks were as to be expected for the price- meaning they are particle board (standard in this price range), but sturdy and look nice. The cabinet however, looks OK, if you are willing to ignore the fact that the drawers do not align (the top 2 smaller drawers align with the frame, where to bottom large drawers sink in). But the bigger problem is how unstable it is once the drawers are filled with files. The cabinet is not heavy enough in the back, so we have to be careful when opening the drawers as it easily topples forward. In addition, the front of one of the bottom drawers dislodged causing it to fall apart when I was filing.
when you first assemble it which was fairly easy as the instructions weren't terrible it seems pretty flimsy. but when we filled the drawers up it seemed much more sturdy. the drawer slides were very good and sturdy. it was worth the price but i wouldn't have paid much more for it.
I am looking at the cabinet right now and shaking my head. I am not sure how much the cabinet is at fault or if all the blame falls directly on my husband. I was so excited when I went to purchase it. It was modern, not bulky looking at all and came with additional storage. It was packaged extremely well which is a good thing since it is very heavy. All of the hardware parts were put together in one plastic bag and there are a lot of individual pieces that needed to be separated. I was not there when my husband assembled the cabinet but I know that he did not go in order and skipped ahead to save some time since this was a long ordeal. DO NOT SKIP AHEAD. He caused himself grief as well as damage to my beautiful cabinet. DO NOT POUND IN THE HARDWARE. Tap lightly. The bottom cabinet is grotesque looking. There are no less then three areas that are damaged because he did not follow the directions exactly. It looks like someone took a chisel and dug out the areas. The file drawer above the damaged one does not close right at all. I do not know if that is a different issue or not. This cabinet caused a lot of stress and I had to promise my husband never to purchase another item online that needed assembly. That being said if he had followed the directions exactly things may have turned out differently.
