If you want something heavier and more sturdy I would go somewhere else, but this is just what I needed to organize my school work and other files. It has a lock and key option for the bottom drawer, but I dont really use it.
A bit tough to attach handles, but it serves the purpose. I know the reason the drawers dont fully extend, but it means you should leave room to slide files forward to access those in the back.
This is probably one of the best buys for my office. Lay all the pieces out and read the directions. Piece of advice for anyone putting wood together with fasteners....always reinforce with wood glue! This is a piece thats is supposed to hold weight and its also particle board. Use glue!!!
Directions were very good and easy to follow. They said two people were necessary for assembly. It would have been easier putting the drawers in if I had had a helper but I managed without even though Im 75 and female. Its perfect for my small space.
Its a little frustrating to assemble because the pieces and hardware did not come labeled and the manual is short and not descriptive. Some pieces came scratched and broken. I had to glue a broken piece back onto one of the drawer sides. The drawers are very short and wont be able to fit much clothes which is what I bought it for. The drawers are about 4 inches tall so it cant fit much. I used an Xbox controller for scale so you can picture its size.
bought 2, recd both 1 wk after ordering. We just put these together so dont know how theyll hold up, but they assembled perfectly thanks to the advice about the rails from another reviewer; took 2 people about 2 hrs for the first and 1.5 hrs for the second. the drawers aligned perfectly and I was so pleasantly surprised at how good they look. It feels sturdy, the drawers glide perfectly and theres room for lots of files.
Considering the price, you really cant go wrong if theyre the style youre looking for. Very happy with this purchase.
The box looked like it was beat up and re-sealed a bunch of times. Hardware bag inside was open and it had missing glides. Costumer service was nice and they send me replacement glides but took a while to arrive. Cabinet itself was in good condition and instructions were easy to understand.

VERY HARD TO ASSEMBLE
My husband said this is very hard to assemble. I looked at the directions and I know I could never assemble it by myself. They are beautiful, though.
Read before !
