We used this cabinet for our files. The drawers were deep enough to handle our tax returns and medical files. It feels great to have those files organized and out of the way.
We have purchased several products, they are great and easy to assemble. They look great when finished! The big complaint is packaging and delivery. Sometimes the boxes arrive in terrible shape and the items are damaged. The company immediately rectifies this by sending new pieces. This happened to us only once out of 3 desk, 2 counsels and two computer drawers. But most of the boxes were damaged badly! Luckily the pieces werent.
I love the look. Putting it together was a job! And as careful as I was screwing in the pieces the particle board just crumbled. My husband had to fix and make it work. Luckily its on the inside (not visible) or I would have had to return and start over.
I love the cabinet. The drawers are bigger than I expected and the wood looks really nice. I bought it for my home office. It looks exactly as the picture the vendor has posted online.
However, it was very difficult for me to assemble. It took me 4.5 hours. To be fair, I assembled it by myself with a hand screwdriver. So do yourself a favor and follow the directions, get a buddy and an electric screwdriver.
My two file cabinet looks professional side by side, yet also decorative for my den. It is sturdy, drawers slide in and out smoothly, and drawers self lock so only one opens at a time. Thank you. Pat
Perfect cabinet for extra storage. Easy to assemble and very sturdy. I was missing some screws for my handles but a quick email to the company had them to me within a few days. They have great and quick customer service!
The cabinet serves its purpose well. It is in a back office, and its plain looks are appropriate there. It is certainly not intended to be a show piece, after all. It was not the easiest to assemble, but patience makes things go better.
Although well packaged in its shipping box, my unit came with an important structural component severely cracked, unfortunately. The cracked piece (see photos) is the bottom cross piece at the front that stabilizes the sides at the bottom. The engineers of this cabinet ought to change this piece to make it much more robust. Because I didnt want to ship the whole thing back (quite heavy), I used wood glue and some solid wood stripping to reinforce the cracked piece and use it anyhow. Works OK.
I do not like that the cabinet drawers are each connected to the sliding rails only by FOUR TINY SCREWS into pressboard. That is extremely weak construction engineering. It means that, if you want this cabinet to last, youd best treat it as if it were a delicate antique. No jerking or twisting or overloading the drawers and slamming them back closed unless you want to turn your cabinet into a pile of junk. Treat it nice and it will do fine.

Came damaged but still like it
The Devais file cabinet is worth every penny. The cabinet is sturdy enough for all our files.

Be extremely cautious when putting together

Well worth the cost, I am very happy with this purchase.
