Only assembly is to attach roller casters to bottom. For my application, I took wheels off when I realized that I had a size issue and the bottom of the file is smooth and slid easy. Locks easily. Thin steel but for fifty bucks, what do you want I bought another one for my wife after this came in and saw it. Black finish so under desk it sort of dissappears. Arrived without a scratch, Styrofoam padding about an inch thick and box is heavy cardboard. If it arrives damaged, the shippers fault, not the manufacturer.
Pros: price, drawers have tall sides so you can store stuff in them, not just files. Slides are sturdy. Drawer slides are very sturdy. As you can see I have it loaded and slide open and closed easy and feel very sturdy and solid.
Cons: its light weight steel, but its cheap so thats not really a con I guess. Otherwise none.
Only thing Id consider doing different is getting one with one file drawer, a thinner center storage drawer and a thicker pencil drawer rather than two file drawers, but thats my choice.
Update: Ordered a second one for the Mrs. and it arrived in perfect condition just like the other one. Both boxes were left on porch without a scratch on them.
Fantastic for the price
