This is definitely one of those times where you Get what you pay for. For almost $80, you get a light weight, two drawer steel cabinet. Its a very light weight steel however, and while it does have a lock, it wouldnt stop anyone from getting into it who really wants in. The material is so long that when you open the drawer, the drawer face actually bends outward slightly at the handle when pulling on it.
That said, for home use, its not bad. It holds a lot more files in one drawer than the little file tote I had been using for my important documents. I can lock it up and keep unwanted hands and eyes from getting into it without my permission, and theres plenty of room to add more to it. The best part, is that its the same height as the printer stand that I had been using, so I just expended my home office work space without losing any physical space at all.
Note: Thin material.
That said, this was an easy build. The instructions/diagrams are intuitive and should be easily understood. As for build quality, I have 35 lbs of dense, concentrated weight on the top of my drawer and, though the top panel slightly flexes, the drawers still close. The tapped holes arent the best, but they are positioned well enough. The holes allow enough margin for error for less precise users or those that speed through the build with a drill.
The draws are smaller than I expected I ordered 2 was going to send one back but it wasnt worth it because I wouldve been charged to return if I had it picked up or not and its too heavy for me to carry! I like the draws theyre just too small for what I needed. Good for small items like socks, underwear, paperwork etc.

Perfect for home office
Perfect for the home office. Easy to move around. I like that the unit cams with a duplicate key. Very thoughtful.
Good for light home use

great small filing cabinet
I needed a small filing cabinet to organize all the papers around the house. This one has been great in our home office.
Great solution for my needs.
Recieved all the parts, was easy to assemble and suited my needs
Conveniently compact, easy assembly

Good for SMALL ITEMS!!
