DEVAISE Wood File Cabinet, 3 Drawer Lateral Filing Cabinet Black

It’s a great, sturdy little cabinet. It took me a few hours to build, but I built it solo and took my time. The written instructions are a bit confusing, but using the build video in tandem made it much easier, once it started coming together it became very self explanatory. The measurements were exactly as advertised, I needed it to fit in a tight spot and it fit perfectly. Treat it like any other pressed wood furniture and it should hold up over the years.

Needed a cart large enough to put printer and three internet-access devices on top. The drawers are a plus, including one for letter or A4 hanging files. The open half has a shelf that is adjustable, holding a UPS and the electronics it is connected to. Assembly was clear and easy, although it took an evening for one person. A short Philips screwdriver is included, but it was more comfortable to use a normal-length one from our toolbox. (Or a power tool - there are a LOT of screws.)

I have assembled many pieces of furniture over the years or I would not have been able to assemble this from the instructions. The pictures were extremely helpful. Also, the assembler needs to take care and time or the pre-drilled holes will be stripped and the pressed board surrounding it broken. Even taking my time the completed table was slightly wobbly. It looks great, though. And I will be the only one using and it will not be moved around a lot, so it will be ok for me. I will not fill the shelves with paper stock as I had planned.

Good quality, easy assembly and everything functions well

Fell apart upon assembly. assembly was extremely long and towards the end some of the pieces broke. Wanted to return but they aren’t providing me with a new box (original shipped box was damaged during delivery) so now in order to get my money back I have to disassemble and purchase a new box and then return. In order words not only did I lose time on this order, but I also lost money as well. Not a functional product. Not easy to use. Can not in good conscience recommend to anyone. I hope this helps you make buying decisionsz

Honestly, I was looking at so many units I think I totally mixed up the reviews and which piece they went to. Having said that, lets move forward as I purchased 2 of these and I want to mention that I put together A TON of furniture. Pros: LOTS of extra pieces of basically everything at the end of building this unit. I have never seen this. BUT, it does make you wonder if you’ve missed something. So they are generous there! Arrived on time and basically no damage upon arrival. The drawers do glide into place perfectly. Cons: This is NOT well made! Handles are of the cheapest plastic quality, but are well aligned. Little pieces of pointy plastic attached that I had to break off. I’ll buy better ones off Amazon. The directions - COME ON!! I wear glasses for reading, BUT I constantly had to ask SIRI to turn on my magnifier. The #’s were in the tiniest size they could find. I zoomed in so you could see, but this made it very hard to figure things out. The directions need a “re haul,” as it’s a guessing game. I’ve put together furniture with drawers, so I knew about the “CL” etc, but there was NO mention of parts “E” or “D” and the “CL”, etc. on these guide runners. For novice people who are putting these together, they would have been lost. These instructions are mostly pictures and looking at numbers, but everything is very small. This booklet should be bigger, and also the print to accommodate ALL kinds of people putting together this furniture. I consider myself a very advanced type person when putting together furniture, and had a rough time with the first one. The panels are flimsy and the drawers (my recommendation) can NOT hold heavy items. The wheels are cheaply made and the when screwing in items, the “laminate” is very inconsistent as about 20% of the screws just keep spinning. The cam bolts are cheaply made and a pain to work with. The white plastic pieces that go on the back to help stabilize the slide in boards are pretty much useless. The only saving grace is that I won’t be moving these units and using them for sewing and my Cricut. This is not what I would call a super stable unit and needs work in that department. It does not roll easily, so will stay put under new work tables I’ve purchased for my hobbies. I need 2 more units, but unfortunately can’t buy these. These units should be priced more in the $50 range for the quality they are…..otherwise they need to think about revamping the instruction booklet to making it user friendly, which it is not (and I’ve seen them all!). This is one of the worst unfortunately. It’s an average unit, and instead of providing SO many extra pieces, I think making the unit a better piece, and clarifying instructions and larger type (user friendly) would be better. By doing so, I think they would have a much better product!

I've put a thousand of these sort of things together in my lifetime and this was among the best. Except for IKEA, I'd say this was the best and most sturdy. The instructions were OK but could be better; I had to re-do part of it because some unclear instructions. That said, the value of what you get for the price is really good. But the best part was the unexpected level of customer service I received. The handles on my unit would not screw in properly. So I followed the instructions to email customer service not expecting much. But to my surprise, I received a response within 48 hours and they took care of everything to my satisfaction. They even had to politely bug me to get back to them so they could fix my problem - THEY followed up with ME! I'd buy from them again.

This is just the perfect height a d width for my small wlak in office.
