Looks good, fairly well made and ample storage space. Keep in mind this only has one drawer to hold hanging files so if your looking for a filing cabinet this aint it. The instructions that comes with it leave a lot to be desired and some of the hardware for the drawers were incorrectly marked, but after some cursing and and deep breaths I got it figured out. The build will go quicker with a power screwdriver but jut be careful you only get a couple of extra screws (be careful not to strip the head). Nice wheel on the front of the file drawer so it dont tip over. It will do the job that I bought it for. Put the wheels on last....
Returned once I saw all the pieces required for assembly. Thats my fault/issue, not the products. Im sure it would have looked nice put together, but for the price, was not worth the effort of putting together. Ended up paying a fraction of the cost for something different that was already put together.
To be fair, I’m no expert in assembling things of this kind, but it was definitely a challenge. Took about three hours and if everything isn’t aligned perfectly, it is a mess. Was able to assemble the structure itself and it felt quite sturdy. The drawers catch a little despite following directions completely and trying to ensure the screws into the particle board were as flat as possible. Bottom drawer will not sit flush despite repeated attempts. Being a novice in putting things like this together, I gave it an extra star assuming the difficulties were on my end. It is a nice little cabinet though. One other thing to keep in mind is that the drawer bottoms feel like thick cardboard, not wood or even particle board, so I wouldn’t purchase if you plan on placing very heavy items inside of it. Also the fifth wheel on the front of the file cabinet drawer seems unnecessary, but I put it on anyway.
Ordered product came with duplicate side panels for one side of the cabinet and none for the other side. Sent photo of the duplicate panels to the supplier/manufacturer through requesting the missing panel. Without argument they promptly sent me a whole new cabinet. Solved the side panel problem but hate to waste the other parts that will not be used. Maybe I can adapt them for some other use. Note that this is not Ikea simplicity in design and assembly but I liked that they included extra screws, etc. in case you lose any.
So this thing is very solid and price is decent for the size. That being said, if you purchase it, be advised you are looking at about 2 or more hours of assembly time. Each of the 7 drawers is made of 7 different pieces you need to assemble. I would not recommend doing this without an electric screwdriver or drill with screwdriver bits.
Overall a good item but be advised it is a major pain to put together.

A little hiccup quickly solved.
