DEVAISE3-Drawer Wood File Cabinet with Lock, Mobile Lateral Filing Cabinet, Printer Stand with Open Storage Shelves for Home Office, White

I was worried before buying after seeing a lot of reviews regarding difficulty of assembly. I thought the instructions were pretty clear and they also provided extra fasteners. However it did take me 4 hours nonstop (I was also reading the instructions pretty carefully each step) and I think partially might’ve been because the screwdriver it came with is kinda cheap so I think it might’ve gotten stripped along the way. Otherwise I like the compact size and the material seems sturdy enough although it’s got some cheaper backing. The only other thing I would mention is that the key only locks the top small drawer! I somehow missed that in the reviews and bought it because I wanted the large filing drawer to be locked as well. But that’s my fault for not reading properly I guess. Still looks nice anyway.

First off, the filing cabinet looks nice and is fairly sturdy. As for ease of assembly, it gave me some difficulty. Some of the holes I had to use a lot of force just to get the screws in. I had to press the end of the Screwdriver into my palm to get the screws in and almost stripped a couple of my screws. I ended up leaving those alone as long as I could get them far in enough to be functional since I couldn't get them flush with the surface. One of the areas that wasn't screwing in properly was the railing for the cabinet. I really struggled trying to get it remotely flush with the surface and it kept catching on the screw when I tried to put the drawer in. To install the railing, you had to flip back to the front of the directions to figure out how to take the pieces apart, after taking them apart you end up with sticky residue all over your hands. I ended up having to keep washing hands and ended up wearing disposable gloves during that installation to keep the sticky residue from getting all over the cabinet and my screwdriver. Also the holes in the directions for the railing didn't quite match and were confusing what I had so I ended up lining it up and choosing whichever holes seemed correct. I screwed it in as far as I could so that it was functional. The metal rods for the bottom filing cabinet keep shifting to the outer holes (I need them on the inner ones) when I was putting in my files until a got enough in that it had a little weight to keep them from shifting. Another issue is that if you put label tags on your files for your bottom drawer, they will catch and the drawer won't close all the way. A couple of wheels took some force to put in, I almost thought I was going to break something. The palm of my hand was aching and tender for the next 36hrs after installation. I have rheumatoid arthritis so if you have arthritis this might not be the best cabinet for you. Mine is manageable and I still have my grip strength but this will definitely cause problems for others.

Great quality, perfect size. Easy to install. Looks great in my office

I like this file cabinet. The only thing was I thought the drawer for the hanging files also locked and it does not. That was the main reason for my purchase so I was disappointed in only that.

The product looks but the bottom filing drawer would not push all the way in. I read the instructions carefully and it warns about this issue, but I could not get the drawer to push all the way in. Keep the box until you are satisfied, because if you have to return it...you cannot if you do not have the box.
