My son wanted more space in his room so we got rid of his giant dresser and put these in his closet. It works great! They do have that strong wood odor, but theyre made of wood, so...
Pretty easy to put together. My hubby and I did two and it took about an hour - well, he did most of the work, I just handed him screws! All the pieces were there and holes were pre-drilled.
This product came damaged. Several dents in the pressed wood. The written instructions are difficult to follow, so I mainly looked off of the pictures. The holes in one of the last steps are off. Finished product is definitely not perfect.
Not bad for what it is, I didnt expect perfection and they do work, but there are some issues.
The instructions on installing the drawer sliders are less than clear. Couple that with the fact that the instructions call for installing the backer before the drawers and you can (like me) end up in a situation where you need to reverse a couple of sliders with no way to do so easily. I bought 2 of these, the first took 45 minutes to put together, the second less than 20 minutes.
The backer is nailed on. The backer is drastically smaller than the frame. The drawer set is made of melamine (particle board with plastic laminate). Anyone who has driven a nail into melamine to close to the edge knows the dangers of splitting and thats exactly what happened at the center top on the 2nd set I put together. I used that set as the bottom of the stack so no big deal for me, just beware of nail angle (toenail rhose things towards the inside).
My only serious complaint is with the thickness of the top. Its THIN. Like REALLY thin. The width of the unit is a hair under 24 with a top that is 1/2 thick. If these were made of actual wood thus wouldnt be an issue, but melamine isnt as strong as wood making the too less than capable of taking any weight without warping and blocking the top drawer from closing. I have a fairly small (32) flat screen TV, which weights very little and has a broad footprint (to spread the weight) on top of this unit and it warps the top enough to cause problems closing the top drawer. Increasing the thickness of the top to 3/4 material would have completely stopped the warping Im seeing.
Overall, not bad, but not great. A simple change in material thickness on the top alone would have made this a 5 item for my uses
It was delivered today and looks very good but the drawers handles are missing in the package. Can someone from or manufacturer send me the missing parts?
This is just like what you would find at your ordinary corporate office cubicle. It is off brand from the official ones but the materials are just as similar and lighter! It doesnt slam when you close it which I like. I feel like I can weld another one on top of this if I need to expand my file cabinet space in the future!
I am handicapped so it is difficult for me to go to a brick and mortar store. Hence this purchase. Nothing wrong with it at all except the price. And of course I had to assemble it. But it works perfect for my needs. So 5 stars for the product itself, 3 stars for the price.

Great Space Saver

Good product - but I had to create wooden pads to raise it off the floor.

Great Organizer
This is the perfect run-of-the-mill cabinet for a private home when you need to keep receipts, tax returns, prescriptions, etc. organized.
Good, not great

Missing parts (2 Drawer Handles)
It was delivered today and looks very good but the drawers handles are missing in the package. Can someone from or manufacturer send me the missing parts?
Great product. Just what I wanted!

Good little filing cabinet.
All you had to do with this when it came was to put on the drawer handles. It is exactly as advertised and exactly what I needed.
Pre assembled.
Somewhat sturdy, but a little wobbly when full.
Too expensive
