I love this lil guy!
I had an old filing cabinet that was busted and I wanted something that could roll around, but also have 2 filing drawers with some extra storage. This was SO perfect. It is easy to roll around even when full, has plenty of space and looks really nice. The drawers roll out very smooth.
My only issues with it are more aesthetic.
/The top drawer is very metallic and rough inside, so I needed a drawer divider.
/The Black paint scraped off a lil when I placed another metal object on it (hole puncher).
/The top drawer has a weird setup. The place where hanging files hook on too bend near the front of the drawer, so when I filled it up, the first few folders kept getting stuck
I have had it for over 6 months and it is practically new still.
I ordered 2 of this item b/c I was looking for file cabinets that locked and had wheels. The shipment arrived as promised and in good condition. However, when I went to put the casters on I realized there were no pre/drilled holes in the cabinet that the casters would screw in to / very disappointed. I have no way to attach the casters in the front and will be returning the cabinets. Otherwise these would have worked perfectly for my needs.
This item was exactly as described. The drawer was actually a little deeper than I thought it would be. Great because that was a real selling point for me. This is not a low end file cabinet, not is it high end. It is what I would call your standard office file cabinet with a bonus drawer and the perfect size to fit under a computer desk if it needed to be. I purchased two of them.
Cabinet arrive in very good condition and safe. Was very Pleased with the way this order want. Cabinet make/up could have been made of a heavier Sheet metal But it will work fine. Thank You all for your service.
Sincerely

Light weight cabinet. The light gauge drawers are pressed with a corrigation at the bottom of each side of the draw to stop sway. This makes it a very tight fit to get documents and hanging folders all the way down.
Do not purchase this if you are planing on loading it up. The light weight brackets that are supplied for you to attach the back wheels bow easily making the cabinet tilt heavily back and sideways. I dont think the two small screws supplied for holding the front wheels would last if you moved the cabinet more than a few times.
I have used my existing cabinet as a place for my copier and have filled it to capacity with no problem, hence in part the need for a new one. This one tilted with just one draw half full and the the copier on it. This due to flimsy wheel brackets supplied to attach the wheels at the back. Problem solved by removing the wheels and buying a regular file caddy as they have a much more sturdy frame to support the cabinet and evenly distribute the weight. Mush quicker and easier than shipping it back. If I had know this was so poorly designed i would have brought a less expensive cabinet and a seperate caddy.
For light filing it is works well the pencil draw on top is ideal for storing a ream of paper and printer supplies.
I was disappointed that this file cabinet did not fit legal sized hanging folders. I had to transfer all of my files to new letter sized hanging file folders. Also, the drawers do not pull open all the way out, so the folders in the back are not accessible. I think that for storing papers, this cabinet will be fine, but for everyday use (i.e. constantly opening and closing drawers and accessing all folders)this will not cut it. Also, the action of the drawers is not very smooth, so I am hesitant to continually open and close them. Overall, the cabinet is ok. I cant say its bad or good, just ok.
