Good value for the money
We didn't want to spend a lot of money, but we wanted a file cabinet that looked nice and met out filing needs.
From what I researched, this turned out to be the biggest bang for the buck.
Assembly was a little challenging but there was also a toll-free number offered in instructions for assistance. Extra screws/nails were furnished which was nice (just in case one was lost or damaged during our assembly process).

Time Consuming but Satisfying
We regularly put together purchases. Thankfully my 12 year old son helped me - because it took a lot longer than I expected. I agree with some of the earlier posts about complexity of drawings and instructions - but they are hard to write. My wife really likes the way it looks. I am concerned about its durability but time will tell. I figured it was a low risk option for $115 and replaced prior cabinets that were constructed even more poorly.

Horrible Quality
I purchased this because I wanted something that would look nicer in my office than a metal filing cabinet. When I saw it in the store, it had a nice appearance and a lot of storage space so I thought it was just what I was looking for. Once I got it home, however, I found the quality of the materials to be extremely poor.
During construction, one of the "support" beams collapsed under its own weight when the particle board it was attached to ripped off. Once I got that glued back together (an overnight process as the glue had to dry) and finished the rest of construction, one of the metal runners for the drawers promptly fell apart when I tried to insert the drawers. Finally, when I fixed that and got the drawers into place, the front of the bottom drawer came off when I tried to open it when, you guessed it, the particle board the ripped off. At this point, I gave up and decided to just buy the ugly metal filing cabinet that I was trying to avoid in the first place.
I would not recommend the product to anyone.

Solid Quality
I was very happy with the quality of this filing cabinet. The packaging was designed to protect all of the pieces, there was an extra of each fastener, and the construction was very sturdy. For a self-assembled wood filing cabinet, this exceeded my expectations for stability and durability. It may not be a steel cabinet, but it's the next best thing.
