Drawers Hard To Open
I looked for a cabinet this certain height, so that it would fit under my desk. It fits great, but I can't get the drawers to open, and once I get them open, it's hard to get them to close. They seem to get hung up /stuck on the edge where the little roller is located. I like the cabinet, but can't use it if the drawers don't work properly.

Not What I Expected for the Price
I am disappointed in this lateral file cabinet. For the price, I thought I would be getting one that is much more substantial and user-friendly than this one. The cabinet is heavy but flimsy in that it easily tips forward when one of the drawers is opened. I've had to shim the front of it up a lot to keep the cabinet from tipping forward...attaching it to a wall is not an option for me. The drawers do not open fully enough for my handling my files, which are laterally situated. In fact, I have, more than once, scraped my hand and wrist on the sharp metal above each drawer in my attempt to access (remove and reinstall) my hanging file folders as well as my files (tabbed folders for such). I cannot find the optional kit to install the file folders in a front-to-back configuration. All in all, I would NOT recommend this lateral file cabinet.

Good but the metal handle one is better
Bought this item for use in the hospital. We have been using it for many months and the cabinet works well. It locks and the drawers slide nice. We went to buy more of them and got the one with metal handles by Realspace so by accident I got to compare the two products. The metal handle one has much easier sliding of the drawers and a much sturdier feel. But the real space pro one (metal handle) one is much more expensive than this one (the realspec plastic handle one).
I am not saying this one is bad. It is not. In fact we have been using it for many months without any problems. If you are on a budget, this one is great. If you don't mind spending more money, check out the real space metal handle one.

Great for the money
I have researched just about every 30" lateral file available on the market. For the money, there is nothing better. Shipping was fast. Product is solid and looks nice. I bought my first Realspace from office depot about 2 years ago and have been pleased. Only negative i have found is that the top drawer (which gets the most use) has started to "catch" a little at full extension. 3/4 extension is no issue at all. This item is well built and has fairly good slides. I wouldn't say it's as good as a HON, but like I said, for the money you can't beat it. :)
