THE GOOD: The filing cabinet fits perfectly under my Winsome wood desk. The sheet metal is thicker than the metal file cabinets you see at Wally World. There are no drawer pulls to worry about installing or breaking, since the sheet metal is factory press molded into handles and the width allows for easy front hanging of letter file folders, after the spacer bar is inserted on the right. Also, the drawers slide smoothly on ball bearing glides and fully open to the end stops, which prevent the drawers from falling out onto your toes. The filing cabinet has wheels, so moving the cabinet around your office or bedroom is easy. The 5th wheel at the front works great at preventing tip overs when the drawers are fully extended. Finally, careful strategic packaging with foam, plastic, and hard cardboard allows for shipping, without damage.
THE BAD: The factory keys that come with the filing cabinet are terrible!!. The metal part is loosely encased in a cheap clear plastic that flexes and wobbles around on a hinge, which does not instill confidence in their longevity. I contacted the China manufacturer on Amazon e-mail, about getting regular metal keys, but they will only replace their factory broken keys with the same stupid clear plastic keys. I went to 2 different locksmiths and the blue and orange box stores, trying to get them to match/replace these plastic factory keys with metal keys and they could not find an equivalent keyway design. Luckily, I live in a big city and the 3rd locksmith shop found an equivalent key that’s all metal. Take the plastic factory key to your locksmith and tell them you want the key duplicated on an Ilco key blank #1674. It will cost about $7 for two metal keys. You can throw away the cheap China keys after verifying the Ilco keys work on your file cabinet lock. Another, bad thing is that the wheels are cheap plastic and may break when your moving and rolling them around on asphalt/concrete driveways.
Note: There are 2 versions of this filing cabinet: The “new black” and the “classic black.” The “classic black” allows you to hang your letter style hanging folders without a reducer bar, so you can view your files facing you. The “new black” requires a spacer bar on the the right side, so that your letter style folders can hang facing you, without falling. The “new black” has the cheaper roller plastic 5th wheel that goes under the front cabinet and costs $5 more, compared to the “classic black”; which has more of a circular round wheel. Also, the “new black” model is 2″ deeper for more filing space. You have to look at the Amazon pics closely to see which one you want, because the size specs are listed the same for both styles of filing cabinet, even though the “new black” model is larger.
THE UGLY: The metal part of the keys are encased in a thick clear plastic, which makes it hard to put metal key rings on them and they look ugly on D-ring key holders. Also, the wheels under the cabinet are little and cheap plastic. Luckily, the wheels have not broken on me yet, as other buyer’s have noted. You have to factor in an additional $7 (plus your time) to get all metal replacement keys, unless you can deal with the cheap China plastic keys.
Alternatively, there are other vendors that sell the same exact cabinet for less (under different names), but their cabinets ship from China and you have to pay shipping and foreign transaction fees. Plus, you risk having to contact the China sellers and shipping the product back if your cabinet arrives dented.
