Im using this as a bedside table because it was the right height and I wanted drawers in it. It works perfectly for that and since I can lock the wheels it doesnt roll around. I love the size of the drawers and I dont have to have a cluttered bedside table now. Also, since the bottom drawer is a file drawer, its perfect for storing papers.
Putting it together wasnt much of a problem except that some of the screws stopped actually going in and just spun. This made the drawers very hard to open and close because theyd get stuck on the screws. I had to get someone to use a power tool to try and get them in. That helped and I can open and close the drawers now without fighting with them, but they still arent perfectly smooth.
I am shocked and appalled by this product. I slaved for hours struggling to put it together because the instructions are in Chinese. However, it is sturdy. To build it was a journey and I learned a lot about myself.
Works great as a filing cabinet under the desk. I like the overall esthetics . I was very impressed by both the precision of assembly and clarity of instructions. Assembly took 2 hrs. I ended up not using wheels, otherwise it wouldnt fit under my desk. Put it on a 3/8 piece of plywood so that the bottom drawer is not dragging on the carpet. The top lock locks all 3 drawers. If it was more sturdy it would be 5 stars, especially if the outer walls were made of thicker MDF.
Time-consuming to assemble but attractive, fairly sturdy, and functional. Drawers slide well; wheels work well. Love the gray color. If you need all shallow drawers, this is worth the cost. However, if you are flexible on drawers, Id consider IKEA first. IKEAs Alex cabinet is easy to assemble and only costs a little more. That said, Im satisfied with this product enough that I will likely buy another.
I ordered this for my new workspace and it turned out nicely except that when I got the end of the building process, the pre-drilled hole on one of the handle given was stripped so the screw wouldnt actually thread into to stay on and secure the handle fully. I ended up placing a piece of tape over the screw so that it would stay in place. Its also just your standard fabricated wood with flimsy-ish bottoms so if you dont intend on putting in a bunch of heavy stuff, youll be good. Overall, not bad. Similar to putting together something from Ikea.
Would have given a 5th star, but some of the part bags are open, and a few unseen pieces have signs of wear and tear from use. (Including one of the wheels)

Assembly and instructions is very precise. Could be more sturdy.

A thousand screws
It will take you a long time to assemble.
Functions, with tweaks
Predrilled holes were positioned so that drawers will not fully close. Drilled new holes myself, but would have been nice to not have to do.
A challenge to assemble but mostly worth it

Four Stars
I like it. Solid, sturdy construction. However, it is not assembled at all.
A drill will come in handy

4/5 Some parts may not be new
