"This item has its good and bad qualities. First, it's very attractive and definitely a complimentary piece in my living room. It hides its purpose as a filing cabinet nicely and the quality of the exposed wood (top, sides, drawer faces) is great. Surely looks like an expensive piece.
But, then there are the negatives...
Assembly was difficult. The directions are slightly cryptic (although they tried). They do provide you with extra hardware, THANK GOD, because the particle board used to make the drawers is so cheap that the screws go in... and keep turning. Would be very easy to just pull pieces apart, regardless of whether they are screwed together. I ended up using extra screws wherever I could. Assembly was also made difficult due to the fact that the directions say to screw pieces together that you can't get to. For example, you have to insert the bottom drawer before screwing it in... but then you can't get to the back of it to secure it in place! Getting the face of the bottom drawer on was also nearly impossible. The directions tell you to assemble it a certain way, but the holes are missing and the directions are incorrect. I had to drill my own holes and use the extra screws they provided to fasten the drawer face on... like I said, thank God they provided extra hardware."
