Well for one it isnt wood it has a wood looking finish on it that cracks off when you are putting in the screws. Nothing visible in the end but it was a little concerning when I started. Its more like particle board. Pay attention to the pictures, they are easier than the limited written directions. It took me 2.5 hours to complete. Also, pay special attention when installing the filing cabinet guides that attach to the inside panels of the cabinet. They need to be perfectly spaced on each side or the bottom drawer will be off center. All the holes were in the right place, all of pieces were there and it looks great.
Cabinet assembled well until I got to the drawers. Both top drawers are identical and use the same numbered pieces, but one of the fronts was incorrectly drilled at the factory. I am unable to complete assemble due to this. I have contacted the seller and will upgrade this review if they correct the problem with a replacement part.
UPDATE: I contacted the seller and they offered to send a replacement part. Instead I used the good part as a guide by taping it to the defective part, and drilled the proper holes into the bad part. The affected part was at the back of the drawer so the modification is unnoticeable. The drawer assembled fine after that. Seller gave me a partial refund for my trouble. All in all they seem like a good company with occasional manufacturing hiccups. I would buy from them again.
Pretty good overall, but the bottom drawer with the wheel-though logical-is somewhat cumbersome.
Be sure to STUDY the instructions, especially the drawer track systems.
This is a solid product. It came with a few nicks but the issue was immediately addressed by their excellent customer service. I would definitely deal with this company again.
After a long annoying back and forth with USPS, I finally have my cabinet!
Very easy to assemble. I like that the tracks for the drawers come already on the pieces. That is the part I hate most about a lot of things I have to put together.
I seem to have over screwed a piece on (see pictures), but it doesnt affect anything as far as closing and opening drawers. Its not as perfect as the pictures look but a very frustrated me put this together so Im happy I didnt break more stuff.
A couple of things with installation that I did not like are the metal pieces you screw on that help lock the drawers in. I couldnt get the screws to go in just right. One metal thing has a crooked screw. The other was the lock. Adding the lock was very easy. It doesnt shake and isnt loose, but the screw on one side goes in at a slant and I could not fix it at all.
The cabinet doesnt wobble, isnt uneven, nor are the pieces just falling apart. I was a little scared reading a review about how terribly cheap this is.
It definitely is cheaper, but its sturdy and it does what its intended for.
Other than the installation things and the delivery issues I had I love the cabinet. I finally have a place for my printer and my gaming room/office is really coming together.
Just accept the fact that it will take a little while (1 or 2 hours) to put together because it has a lot of parts, but it is not actually difficult to put together. The drawers sometimes catch on eachother but thats really no big deal for me, can be easily adjusted. Looks really nice. Wish the top two drawers were a little bigger/deeper.

Almost big enough
The size of the this is just a bit to small. Im using it to store negatives and camera supplies. Wish the draws could fully come out.
Nice looking filing cabinet

Cabinet
The file cabinet is great. Delivery was a little confused even though I emailed a message to have the delivery person contact me directly.
A solid product with excellent customer service.

Takes a while to put together, but comes together easily
