This was easy to assemble. We had a few questions about the product and customer service was both responsive as well as easy to work with. Will buy again!
This was one of the best piece furniture I have ever bought online. It was EXTREMELY well packaged and incrediblely labled and organized. The quality of it is also insane, for the price, would have given more stars if I could.
Lastly, I also used wood glue (gorilla glue) for added support just to make sure this things will last for a few years.
I was a little concerned when the instructions recommended 2/3 people to put it together. I had no trouble at all when I did it myself. It seems very sturdy and looks great. My printer fits nicely on top and there is plenty of room for printer paper and ink cartridges,etc, in the top two drawers.
I ordered 4 of these desks for my and they are holding up well. They are sturdy and not wabbly like some others with the same look out there. Easy to assemble, I recommend using a drill instead of the simple allen wrench provided or it will take a lot longer. Some advice, you will need 2 people to move them as they cannot be slid across a floor or lifted from the desktop. A little cumbersome to move around but they are solid desks. The drawers slide in and out well and line up just right without hang/ups. The width is perfect for 2 monitors on a stand or risers.
This is probably not the simplest furniture piece to put together, but if you take your time and follow the instructions (which were very good, by the way), youll be fine. I had no issues whatsoever with assembly.
Overall, this is a well built piece that meets my needs. Panel fit is very good. The unit is well packaged, so I had no issues with broken parts. The drawers seem sturdy and all use real slides. The hanging file drawer at the bottom is quite useful. I like this cabinet a lot, but there are a couple of things that prevent me from rating it at 5 stars.
First, the rollers. If you intend to roll this unit around on a hard surfaced floor, youll be disappointed as they dont seem to be designed for hardwood flooring. I scooted more than rolled it into place. Thats not a deal breaker for me, as it will stay in one place.
The biggest issue for me was the drawer pulls. The have squared off edges that are very sharp. I cut my knuckle on one of the pulls as I was loading up the . I went to Home Depot and picked up some replacement handles for under 5.00 each (as shown in my photo). All smooth, no sharp edges now. Be warned that if you decide to replace the pulls, your selection is very limited as they use 3.75 (or 96mm) spacing. If youre picky about the drawer pulls, youll find a limited selection of styles.
I do recommend this unit, but you could probably find others at a lower price. The three drawers were the selling point for me.
The product sturdiness was not up to par for use with frequent activities or high traffic. Besides, my printer was a bit heavy and I was concerned that this File Cabinet combo would not last long.
I returned the unit, the vendor accepted the return and issued a full refund within days.
Would not hesitate to continue to buy from this vendor
My 10 year/old granddaughter and I put this together in a couple of hours one afternoon. We had a lot of fun doing this project together! It looks GOOD and Were proud.
Pro: Good instructions, we messed up a few times, but were always able to take apart, find our mistake, and then do it correctly. We both liked that everything lined up the way they should, ie the front boards had metal posts (ok we were total babes in the woods with this!) things that screwed in easily and the holes and metal disk things in the side boards actually lined up with those posts and fit together. Woo!
Cons: It may have been us, but when everything was put together I discover that though the file drawer is set for hanging folders when I put the Plastic Tabs on the folders they would rub on the bottom of the next drawer. So I ended up leaving off the plastic tabs and just used different colored hanging folders and stuck labels on directly on the folders. The regular file folders inserted into the hanging folders work fine.
I will definitely buy this cabinet again if I end up needing more drawer/file space under my L shaped desk.

Sturdily built but hard to assemble.
Part of the instructions was wrong and another was not clear.
Had to let everyone know!

Better than expected!

Home use is Okay. Not for use with heavy traffic
The product sturdiness was not up to par for use with frequent activities or high traffic. Besides, my printer was a bit heavy and I was concerned that this File Cabinet combo would not last long.
