This 2-drawer cabinet is just the right size to fit under my L-shaped desk. It fits easily under the printer side with room to spare! Now all those receipts, tax papers, etc can be neatly stashed...along with my cigar stash!
I needed drawers to fit in my recently remodeled closet. I live in an old house and was trying to make an odd closet functional. All other items that I considered were either too wide for the space or did not give the depth measurement at all. I really did not want to buy this product and wanted something nicer. However, since this item has metal drawer slides and I knew that I could make the drawers nicer if I needed to, I went ahead and got them. I have had drawers with just the groove on the side as a drawer slide. I would not recommend anything like that unless the drawers are made of solid wood. The drawer slides that are included are of good quality. The drawers come with plastic drawer pulls but I replaced those to make the drawers nicer. I stuck with the same shape drawer pull as the ones provided because of the tight space in my closet. I thought the rounded pulls would be safer if you bump into them in passing.
The are the perfect size for the space that I had. I had 11 inch depth from the wall to the doorway and about 25 inches between the wall and the hanging clothes area. The measurements are 12 inches deep 24 and 1/8 inch wide. Each set of 2 drawers are 15 and 3/4 inches high... my 3 sets together were 47 and 1/2 inches high I was going to put them on a shoe shelf I had, but it made it too tall so I made a single shelf under it and it turned out perfectly. The inside measurements are 22 1/2 inch Wide and 10 1/4 inch deep the inside height is 6 1/4 inch on the front and 4 1/8 inch sides and back.
When putting together something as cheaply made as this you will need to take your time and put them together step by step. Use of hand held screwdriver will sometimes have a better result than use of power tools. Slowly start screws at the proper angle. Starting screws too quickly can cause the hole to widen and loss of laminate coating in the area when the screw slips out of place because you where rushing. I would always add a SMALL amount of glue to the predrilled holes(larger holes, not the ones for the drawer slides), sides that are connected together and the groove for the drawer bottom to add some extra strength to the final product. Wipe away and glue drips with damp cloth. Dont over wet the cloth since the drawer bottom is essentially cardboard.
There was one drawer that had a broken area under the groove for the bottom of the drawer. I was not expecting perfection for an item this cheap and was happy that it was a small area on only one of the 6 drawers. I did fix the area even though it may have been okay without a fix. However since I own an old house and have leaned from experience that it is easier to fix it now than to possibly have a problem later, I went ahead and fixed it. I cut a couple of broken shims to size, glued them together then glued them into the broken area that I had chiseled out and cleaned up.
This dresser is easy to assembly as the instruction is very clear and they even have the codes printed on the pieces so that you match with the instruction. With similar price, the drawer I bought from did not have the metal drawer railing, but this one has metal drawer railings which casue the sliding open of the drawers much easier. The wood quaility is not outstanding but is acceptable.
This drawer was easy to assemble but be careful when nailing the backing. It can be close to the edge and the nail jams right through this lightweight material. I will be stacking it on top of another drawer so I can cover the parts that were botched. I will be using it to store toiletries and some face towels. Heavier items make cause bowing after a while. Overall, satisfied with my purchase.
The metal handles are an upgrade from my prior file cabinet where the plastic handles broke off. Nice-looking and sturdy solution for in-home file storage at a decent price.
Very well packaged -- despite some damage to the exterior box the item itself was in good shape.
I liked assembling it -- took my time and did a little at a time over a day. Went together very smoothly. Just, its a lot. If you like assembling furniture, and I do, then you are in for a lot of fun. With the drawers and everything, I wanted to make sure every screw went in straight and all of that. But it works well, the drawers move smoothly.

Great for home office
Only thing I didnt like about this product is the plastic handles other than that no complaints
Fits in tight spaces!
This 2-drawer cabinet is just the right size to fit under my L-shaped desk. It fits easily under the printer side with room to spare! Now all those receipts, tax papers, etc can be neatly stashed...along with my cigar stash!
Fits like a glove!
All I had to do is put the handles on. Fits perfect, looks great!

Delivered securely, delicate material

Good solution for in-home file storage
The metal handles are an upgrade from my prior file cabinet where the plastic handles broke off. Nice-looking and sturdy solution for in-home file storage at a decent price.
