DEVAISE 3 Drawer Wood Mobile File Cabinet, Rolling Filing Cabinet for Letter/A4 Size, Printer Stand for Home Office, Black

I was looking for a wooden under-desk cabinet with drawers. Solid wood options turned out to be crazy expensive ($300 at a minimum). This plastic-laminate-covered particleboard cabinet for around $95 was a great option. As other reviews have noted, the construction does take a couple of hours. I disagree with the comments about the instructions being confusing. I found the graphics-based guidance to be extremely clear. The parts are all labeled with stickers that match the drawings. All the hardware comes in labeled plastic bags (with extras of each type of screw, dowel, etc., in case you drop one and can't find it, as always happens). Once again, the instructions clearly label which type of hardware, and how many of each, to use in each step. I suspect the folks who had trouble with assembly were in a rush. I covered a table with a couple of towels to protect it and the cabinet parts, and laid all the pieces out in numerical order. That let me sit up during the process. If I'd done it on the floor, bending over for a hour or more would have been a backbreaker! Make sure you use a properly sized screwdriver. I used an electric drill with a screw bit, which speeded things up. The kit included a small, cheap screwdriver, that I think would have resulted in some stripped screwheads and a sore wrist. I was careful to screw things slowly and had absolutely no problems with the particleboard or fasteners. The finished product is very sturdy. Everything lined up perfectly.

This was the exact type of filing cabinet I was looking for in dimensions and look. The quality is good once it's finally put together and works. However, the instructions were not very clear and it was a huge under taking to put together - prob took me a few hours as I had to undo some of the screws I put in wrong and then that can mess things up. Once everything was assembled the drawers did not close securely and middle drawer was stuck and made the top two drawers not pull in and out smoothly. I contacted the manufacturer and they were very helpful and responsive in trying to trouble shoot the issue which ended up needing me to drill new holes as the ones weren't placed at the correct level that came with the unit. They gave me a diagram to show me where to put the new holes but I am not that handy and had to hire a handyman to do that part for me and fix the unit. I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 3 since they did refund me some money that almost covered the handyman cost to come out and fix it. So whatever the price is, just add on what a handyman would cost to put it together and save yourself time you'll never get back, ha.

This cabinet goes very well with my existing white Melamine office furniture. I found it easy to assemble if you take your time. All parts fit together well. If you are not familiar with KD (knocked down) furniture there are some simple rules to follow. Do not use any kind of power tools. If you use a powered screwdriver to install the posts that join the sections you may strip out the holes. Instead, use firm downward pressure on a screwdriver while screwing in the posts. It will be easy. The kit includes extra fasteners in case you lose one. The instruction manual is clear, but make sure you identify all the parts. Some are similar, but not identical. There was only one confusing instruction on installing the back panel. It is a little tricky to install the bottom drawer on the rails. Take it slow. If you get anything wrong, you can always unscrew the part and do it over. My favorite feature of the cabinet is that the lower file drawer includes a caster that will prevent a fully-laden drawer from tipping over when opened.

This is the first time I came across so many problems with assembly. The instruction to me was adequate. Since I read most of the other reviews regarding this product, I made sure that will be addressed. There was hole alignment issue on the slider. The holes to mount the center caster was totally off. I drilled out the holes close to the edge of the panel as not to crack the piece when installing the screw. If you use the holes designated to mount the slider, you will not be able to make any adjustment, therefore you will have issues with the drawers not being able to close as it should. Instead, make another hole where there is a vertical oval opening on the slider. Only the front needs to change. One of the screw that came with the handle was just too short. The biggest problem was with the slider for the bottom drawer. It seemed to be binding and before I could even use it, the ball bearings fell out. I tried to install the bearing back, however many actually came out of the hole , and therefore the bearing will not stay in place. I was very disappointed with this product and contemplated returning it. However, it would be such a hassle to get it to the UPS store, therefore I tried replacing the bottom slider with a bottom mount roller slider that I got from Home Depot. That did the job perfectly. If Devaise or Amazon is reading this feedback, I hope they would compensate for this trouble.

I've given this a 4 in some areas because there's nothing that can really make something like this "easy" to assemble. I did not attempt this myself. HOWEVER my handyman said that the pictoral directions were clear and straightforward, and nothing was skipped. There are extra screws and connector pieces; every bag is labeled with numbers and letters. This was a replacement that had to fit a specific space underneath a desk- so I didn't have much choice in cabinet. It looks nice (the medium deep wood color is lovely) BUT the bottom of the drawers are flimsier than they were on my 25-year-old one: they're about a 1/4" instead of 1/2" board. Hopefully it will bear the weight of all the stuff I have. I got my old desk as a set when I had next to no money- why is it so hard to find a simple, similar one that's made well? Just a question for the universe.

The item is a little darker in color than what is showing on Amazon if you are trying to match it with other furniture. The cabinet is very sturdy & well built & works well. I would certainly buy it again.

me gusto, es un buen producto
