I snagged this to supplement my existing two cheapo 2-drawer metal file cabinets that werent really cutting it. The drawers didnt open all the way and the capacity was too small. Each drawer on this cabinet is a little larger than 2 drawers on those smaller metal file cabinets. Its a great upgrade. The assembly was frustrating in spots, and theres two sets of screws that are 3mm apart in size that I mixed up. Thanks to extras, that didnt adversely impact the finished product. I got it in a walnut finish and it looks very nice. It might not be as durable as a commercial 2-drawer lateral file, but I think its a great home office solution that also adds some nice desk space. I noticed metal file cabinets were crazy expensive, and for the money I get significantly more storage. Also, I assembled it solo, which you can do, but two people would probably make parts of this easier.
Some holes misaligned, but solid once assembled
