If you need a solid file cabinet, get it now!
I'm a retired office furniture buyer and have seen a lot of junk in my years. The quality of this file for the money far surpasses any budget furniture I've seen. If you can use a solid and really good quality file, I'd get this one for sure.

Unsafe tip over danger
Made of lightweight sheet metal, cabinet easily tips with both drawers open. It can tip even just having the bottom drawer open with slight weight imbalance. No anti-tip wall anchor provided.

Damaged when received twice
First delivery, the box was damaged but we hoped the item would be fine. Opened it to find it damaged. Did an exchange hoping the first was bad luck but when the second order came, the box was fine but the cabinet was also damaged and would not open. Decided to just return the item instead of trying a 3rd time since I need a file cabinet and cannot keep waiting.

The cabinet arrived with a dent in the side which I could have lived with. It was the sharp, bent, damaged pieces of metal with missing paint in two places that ruined it. The filing cabinet was well pa...

Great File Cabinet
These are exactly what I was looking for. I purchased 2 and they hold an extensive amount of sheet music, books and other files! The only tricky thing is that some of the hanging file folders don’t quite slide as easily, but I like the fact that they hang on the drawer instead of the metal piece that breaks easily! If you’re looking for functional over aesthetics, I rec...

Surprising Quality
I was impressed with the quality of this product. Being it is a Staples product, and not a name brand like HON, I was not expecting greatness. Really happy I saved $200-$300 and bought from Staples.

Quick & Efficient!
Placing the order was fluid and cohesive and the item was delivered on time and as promised. The faculty member (the item was for a university faculty member to be used in his office) was very pleased and satisfied. Thank you!

Miguel did an excellent job bringing in the bulky, heavy two drawer file cabinet up stairs to the porch, and then up to the second floor. He was a mensch & SO helpful to us getting the file up to my study!

Fell off the truck
This is a great little file cabinet. I have purchased 2 previously. However, when I took this one out of the box, it was clear that it had been dropped as one of the back corners was crushed and the back had a large bulge. I didn't have the time to send back or exchange so I took a hammer to the protruding metal to smooth it out. Fortunately it is on the back corner ...
