I selected this two-drawer file cabinet based on reviews. Then I realized, it was only going into a closet to be accessed rarely (just home files). Did I really need an old-fashioned metal one? So compared prices with single-drawer totes, stackable plastic files, etc. Those were almost as expensive as this tried and true product. Sold! It is exactly as described. Maybe a bit thinner metal than Grandpas original from 1947, but looks the same and IS sturdy. Ignore the reviews about difficulty installing the handles. Absolute snap! Perhaps they used the wrong screwdriver head. One complaint others had is correct: the drawers do NOT pull out all the way. So if it were jammed full, you could not access files in the back without removing a few from the front. That said, if you currently have two packed drawers of files, its either time to purge -- or graduate to a three-drawer. This product line is the way to go!
Excellent value
