Questions & Answers

Would a 70-pound person be able to stand on this? On top of it, there's a multifunction laser printer. ?

So, in my opinion. There isn't any assurance. But all I can say is that I built a double tear oak bench to place on top, with one cabinet on each end underneath 6 feet apart/ and a two by four frame on top with a lot of stuff (radio gear) on the shelves placed on top, and it worked perfectly. To distribute the weight, I'd suggest rigging boards on top of the cabinet first.

Are drawers designed to be hung or do they have a bottom?

The drawers do, in fact, have bottoms. It's just a normal filing cabinet. Without the use of an insert, hanging folders can be used.

How far do the wheels protrude from the bottom (I'd like to lower the height by removing the wheels so that it will fit under my desk)?

Our cabinets are fantastic - we have a lot of them. The wheels are completely obscured. I took a measurement of one of ours and it appears to be 27 inches long. Wheels are 5 inches long. Because the wheels are inset beneath the vehicle, I'm guessing that removing them would only result in a 1/2-inch difference in height.

Is it easy to open and close the drawers?

Yes, they've met my expectations. I built a bench on top of them to use as a support, and they still work well.

Excellent craftsmanship
5/5

I couldn't decide whether I wanted to save money or have a high-quality cabinet. Because so many of these have mixed reviews, I didn't want to waste my money on something that wouldn't last. br>br>This guy is exactly what I was looking for. It's delivered completely assembled, including wheels. There were no dings or scratches due to the careful packaging. It's a sturdy metal cabinet that doesn't topple over when the top drawer is pulled out. Even though the drawers are fully extended, it does not tip. It comes with a lock and key, which I have yet to use. It was simple to remove from the box and transport to my office. br>br>If you're torn between saving a few bucks and investing in this one, spend the extra cash here. This is what comes to mind when you think of a filing cabinet.

Excellent value for money
5/5

I was hoping for a two-bedroom apartment. I needed a drawer locking cabinet that was sturdy and stable enough to last a long time, and it had to fit snugly under the upper section of my two-story house. desk with a flat surface I'd seen cheaper models and, of course, many more at higher prices, but this one had decent reviews, so I decided to take a chance. It's just what I was looking for. It arrived on time and in perfect condition, as promised. It's sturdy enough to withstand a lot of use, has a low 'profile' with no protruding handles, locks securely, and fits exactly where I need it. It's a great deal for the money, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Exceptional quality
5/5

This file cabinet took the place of my previous two-drawer unit, and I must say, I could tell it was built much better from the moment I picked it up! It has some useful wheels, but they don't cause it to roll around when you open the drawers. The drawers glide open with ease, and I am completely satisfied with this cabinet! In the near future, I'll most likely purchase another. br>Secure your purchase! Merritt (br>br>Merritt (br>Merritt (br>Merritt (.

It's solid and well-designed
5/5

First and foremost - the shipping and handling Any damage would have to come from a direct hit on the side. Very well guarded - It's hard for me to believe that anyone got this damaged. If that's the case, it had to happen while the person was being transported. br>Once it's unpacked, all you have to do is admire the structure and how it glides along on its wheels. The drawers are full extension (which is more expensive - see below). However, not having space inside the drawer that you can't use is well worth it. ) Opening the drawers is simple because each drawer has a pull-open area at the very top. I would buy it again if I had the opportunity.

Overall, it was a good experience
3/5

Despite my concerns about packaging and handling damage, the item arrived in perfect condition. It's compatible with my Viewables® Quick-Release System. Tabs should be folded. Labels. Only one design flaw is that the drawer's first file folder can become stuck in a tiny gap on the drawer side frame and cannot be slid out unless it is pulled up. In a design studio, who would think of that? I'll use the tape to repair it!.

It should be stored in the closet
3/5

This file cabinet has let me down big time. I bought it after reading a lot of good things about it, but now I'm wondering if poor quality is what we've come to expect as consumers. First, despite being well packaged, it arrived dented on the side in two places. It's flimsy, and the drawers are prone to becoming stuck. They are not easily slid. The drawer front pieces, as well as the cabinet itself, are out of alignment (apparently because the screw holes were not drilled in the proper location). It's something I'd like to get back. My wife does not want to go through the hassle of returning it and having to buy a new file cabinet, so I may keep it. That's probably a score for Hirsh (which is why I gave it two stars instead of one). We'll probably keep it in a closet because she thinks these things don't matter because it's a filing cabinet and not furniture. Given these flaws, I would have expected it to cost half as much as it did, and I would have been happy to keep it if that was the case. I've attached a photo to demonstrate the dent and drawer alignment; please accept my apologies for the poor quality of the photo. I was expecting an apology for the poor quality of the file cabinet.

Pros: It's nice, but for a corporate price, it feels like it's consumer-grade
4/5


- -br>-br>-br>-br>-b resembling the design of my officebr>- Organizes files well and has deep drawersbr>- Both of the drawers are locked. br>- dependablebr>- The smooth operation of ball bearing drawersbr>br>Cons:
- Metal is thin and flimsy, with a low gauge. br>br>Overall: I was in the process of replacing one that I had purchased from Walmart. The metal gauge on this one and the one from Walmart is the same. This one has much better bearings, but I believe it should have been heavier duty for the price.

GREAT PRODUCT, BUT CHEAPER ELSEWHERE
3/5

The item in question is in perfect condition. My issue is that when I ordered it on Amazon, it was dropshipped to a wholesale location where it can be found for nearly $30 LESS, without specifying where. A simple search of the product will turn up a wholesale location that begins with C and ends with O.
