Update to below review
I have changed this to 4 stars. I was screwing the wheels on by hand. Once my husband used his drill to screw in the front wheel screws, it was all good. I really like it!
Original review
I just received my LLR17427 SOHO Mobile Cabinet, Black (copied so everyone knows what item Im reviewing). It was packaged great, and all parts were there.
I dont leave reviews often, but I felt this was worth it. If nothing else, so that the company might correct the issue for future customers.
This item would likely have gotten 5 stars if not for the screws not fitting. Thats kind of a big deal. Prior to buying, I read in another review that they didnt fit, but have also read they fit great, so i gambled.
The back screws fit perfectly, and the castors were simple as can be to put on the back. However, the front screws were the same size as the back, and the holes in the cabinet are just too small! (I will not return. Ill have my husband get smaller screws).
As you can see in the photo, I tried to force screw the screw in (without the castor) to widen it so that i would be able to screw the castor on. That wasnt working, because I could feel as i was putting pressure I was going to strip the screw. That would have done me no good either.
I flipped it upward without castors, and it stood sturdy. I opened the drawers. They are nice and smooth. The handles are nice and easy to grab. However, while it locks nice and easy, it only locks the top 2 drawers. Obviously that leaves the bottom file drawer without a lock.
Some were curious as to how far the drawer comes out. It is 17 front to back on the inside, and it pulls out 12, leaving 5 inside. For those of you like me, I took pics to see it. I marked it in red where the back of the drawer is, due to the glare and the angle of my photo. It will absolutely not be a problem. Its a great feature so as to keep it from tipping, and I will be able to easily get to the files in the back.
Ill just use it without the castors until I get proper screws. There is no point in returning it, as this was the ONLY 3 drawer, on castors, that i could find with both bottom drawers being for files. I want this style of cabinet, so if all others are without castors, I might as well just keep this one without castors until hubby can get correct sized screws.
Hope this review helped someone. Sorry about the length, but I tried to be as thorough as possible. Happy filing!
P.S. My apologies, but i do not have an option to add the photos that i took and mentioned in my review.
Front screws dont fit / but the rest is good!
