Instructions for these things are always like a puzzle and I weirdly enjoy them but it wasnt any worse than anything else Ive put together. Glad to have a file cabinet again. The negative is that two of the were broken. Inside where the wheel connects to the wheel cover it a little piece of plastic that holds it together and that part was broken on a wheel and another. Have to figure out how to get new ones sent. I will say, the are pretty weak sauce to begin with and probably shouldnt be used to support such a heavy piece of furniture in the first place. But, the cabinet is sturdy. The filet cabinet portion hadls ball bearing sliders and one ball bearing fell out on each side of the sliders too but doesnt seem to cause any problems with functionality.
The bottom drawer wont go in all the way like it is jammed. Otherwise for the price its a good size and not as cheap as other things we have gotten from other sites. Husband was able to assemble by himself
Arrived so quickly! Perfect condition. easy to install. Perfect size for under desk in small home . Drawers slide out easily, cabinet rolls easily. Rounded edges a great design and add to overall higher/end look. Finish is very nice, even paint job and no scratches. Top drawer has little pencil insert, helpful! Sought out this particular file cabinet after seeing it in a magine. Looks just as good in person as in the magine photo. Had been looking for a home cabinet for a long time, reluctant to get one that looked like it belonged in a corporate . So glad I got this , definitely worth it!
Update 2 days later: One drawback / lock mechanism appears to be defective. Top drawer locks, but the other lower drawers dont catch. Tried for at least 10/15 minutes to make all of them lock, nothing worked. Very disappointed. But too much trouble to re/box and return this large an item, will not return for a replacement. Recommend not buying if lock is important factor, unless youre willing to go through the hassle of returning should it not work. Final assessment: Not quite perfect condition.
Assembly took a little while only due to work schedule and available time to sit and read how to properly assemble this file cabinet. The only portion that was confusing was the rails for the bottom drawer. I did have an issue getting it to close, but it couldve been a screw head that wasnt flush. It went together as you can see. Also, if you have a ratchet type screwdriver, THAT is seriously beneficial as youre able to tighten with both hands. The fact that its press board concerned me, however none of the screws are long enough to penetrate through, so even if you tighten too hard, you cant see it buckling on the other side.
Overall, this file cabinet has worked well for me. Im pleased with the final result and satisfied its serving the purpose I need. Relatively easy assembly, Im possibly a little more mechanically inclined than some, but if I can figure it out, I feel confident just about anyone should be able to put this together.

Looks great
Good looking and good quality but it very hard to put together
Everything fit and works pending new from supplier.

Wonky drawer

Looks better than just a metal cabinet
