18" Deep 2 Drawer Metal File Cabinet

I bought this to replace my filing snap-n-store boxes with something sturdy, to have lockable storage to house files pertaining to a thesis I did, to have a place to put my printer, and to have a filing cabinet that would complement the decor in my room. The filing cabinet came already put together, with only the handles that needed to be attached. There were no dents or nicks in the cabinet. Attaching the handles went smoothly; the screws were all the right size. The white color is very clean and minimalistic. I love the sleek curve that the handles have. It really gives the cabinet a modern feel.The drawers house standing files perfectly, but some of my documents would not fit because they were slightly bigger than the width of the standing files. The drawers are a pretty good size, but don't come out all the way, so you would have to reach underneath the top to access files that are in the small space at the back of the drawer. The cabinet can become top-heavy, meaning it would be best to place your most heaviest items in the bottom drawer, rather than the top, or have the files equally distributed in weight. The files I had in my bottom drawer happened to be heavier than the ones in the top drawer, which kept the cabinet from tilting forward when both drawers were open.As for the locking function of the cabinet, I would say that it does its job. It's not super secure, as it looks like you can easily jimmy the drawers open with enough force, but it's not a major concern for me. The metal is also thin on this cabinet. Even so, I believe this a good cabinet for the price and great for casual use. I totally recommend it.

This is a small, lightweight cabinet that is probably going to be fine for light duty in a home office. It tips forward when the upper drawer is opened so we put a 10-pound barbell in the lower drawer to stabilize it. This means a even smaller capacity for filing. It's just barely enough for our purposes but marginal. I probably wouldn't have bought it if I'd been in a bricks and mortar store.

ORGANIZATION is so powerful. My pet peeve is looking for "things"especially a piece of paper or a receipt for tax purposes or just in life period. I am journey, my life "roots" so this unit is metal, fits under my work desk, deep, functional and it LOCKS. Also for my scrapbook entry items, organizing patterns and pieces, bible study, and college degree searches, ... I love the color, blends into my walls, and its discretely out of the way, private, and secure. I love it.

Good product at good price

I was skeptical about the shade of white this "pearl white" file cabinet was going to be, I was afraid it was going to be a old yellow-white looking color but I was pleased to see that it was a nice real white color. The item was shipped mostly assembled, I only had to put on the cabinet handles which wasn't hard with a handy phillips screwdriver. Pretty sturdy, very pleased with this purchase and might buy another one in the future to stack on top. I purchased 2 packs of AmazonBasics Hanging File Folders - Letter Size (25 Pack) - Assorted Colors and they fit well and will be plenty enough for both cabinets.

I like that all I had to do was put the handles on this when it came and that it was easy to do. This is a perfect cabinet to keep my important papers and paid bills in. It looks good and is very sturdy. Perfect addition to my craft room where I also pay my bills.

Ordered two of these about a year apart. The metal is pretty flimsy but the price is right and the unit is compact and functional. It's enough for our home filing needs, because we only open a drawer for something maybe once every week or two, but it wouldn't stand up to regularly daily use.

I should have paid more attention to the dimensions and the description that it is intended for “occasional” file retrieval. The cabinet, while perfect in miniature size, is not for daily, or even practical use. The contents of the drawers are only accessible to about 12”, leaving the remaining 6” very hard to reach. The overall height, while making for a cute, little cabinet, is not very practical for accessibility. My cabinet also did not come with a key for the lock. Overall, I am very disappointed, but it’s my fault for not paying more attention to the details.
