"It took a lot to put this together. I would go to office depot or staples or office max to get one that I didnt have to put together. I looks nice but seems top heavy when loading files"

Oxford File Cabinet
Date:March 24, 2013
"Cabinets were received with a ton of styrofoam packaging, required due to the many individual pieces which make up these cabinets. Assembly is not difficult but three hands are needed to prevent damage. Threaded rods for slide pull were poor on both cabinets I bought, requiring replacement as the threads were too damaged to use. Glossy black finish will probably not do if you have an aversion to fingerprints."

Nice looking, but could be built better
Date:March 8, 2013
"Ok, so the look of it got me to buy this. File cabinets look like "no fun" office cabinets and this one looks like a nice piece of furniture for your office. That is why I bought it after an extensive Google search. I took it all out of the box carefully, and followed the instructions to the letter. Tip: install the slides on the inside of the cabinet in the pre-drilled holes before putting the sides together (it will save you from being sort of a contortionist). So, after I got the heavy thing together (MDS press board is heavy as steel), the slides didn't slide very good. Some of the pre-drilled holes were a little off. I bought new self closing drawer slides, installed them, and now it opens and closes nicely. Last comment: it dents and scratches easily, so don't let the cats near it and pick up some paint for touchup."

A good deal overall...
Date:March 5, 2013
"Purchased for my home office. Assembly was fine except for the drawer glides. Some of the holes were not drilled. My husband did them himself however it resulted in an uneven drawer that won't fully close. It is u forth ate given that the piece is solid beyond that. A little more quality control would have brought 5 stars. It's a nice piece just ensure you have a back up plan or handy man!"

Mr. Fix-it Couldn't Put it Together
Date:January 19, 2013
"The roller track on the bottom shelf was tweaked and I need to order a replacement.
The pull-out shelf holes where the rollout track was installed left the shelf sticking out 1/2"and will need to be redrilled and fixed before it will be operational.
It's still incomplete and I have to have "Mr. Fix-it" back to complete it. Definitely furniture NOT for people with little to no experience in this area."

"the pull out shelf does not pull out very easily. i would say it is very hard to pull out if you can get it out at all. also, I had to fill the bottom drawer first if not the whole cabinet tipped over."

Looks nice but horrible to assemble
Date:August 21, 2012
"Now that it's assembled I am happy with it, but it is an absolute nightmare to assemble. Some of the assembly instructions even appear to be out of order. It took me 3 hours to put together. Makes Ikea look easy by comparison. Still couldn't get the top shelf to work properly. That said, it is an attractive file cabinet for the price, and I could not find anything comparable in this price range."

Is what it is
Date:August 3, 2012
"This is an okay, moderately priced piece. The only complaint I have is that it took almost 2 months to be shipped to me. Everytime Ii checked on the order status, it said that one had been pulled from stock for shipping. It was a gift which ended up being VERY belated."

"The face of the pull out was damaged and had to be glued together and it does not pull out or go back in easily. The file drawers are not as deep as I had hoped so I have to find alternative places to store extra files."

"This cabinet is not easy to assemble but once assembled it looks great! The drawers stuck a bit and had to use some silicone to make them slide easier. We changed the knobs as well and now it fits perfect in our office."

Good Value for the Money
Date:April 25, 2012
"The finished product is very good. Assembly is required. There are quite a few pieces taking a couple of hours to put together. However, the directions are very good making assembly easy. The pieces and holes lined up perfectly for me; I read another review where the writer said the holes did not line up. This was not the case for me. The holes are drilled for the pieces to only go properly one way. If a piece is reversed, the holes will not line up. The drawers and pull-out shelf slide nicely on ball bearing slides. The assembled cabinet is sturdy and the painted surfaces mate well and look good. Would recommend as a moderately priced piece of office furniture that is also very practical and nice appearing."

Difficult assembly
Date:April 5, 2012
"I purchased this file cabinet thinking it was already assembled (I didn't read the description well) and should have known by the price. Once it is assembled, it looks really nice. My husband complained about the holes not lining up and that it was difficult to put together."

Nice file cabinet
Date:March 30, 2012
"This file cabinet is heavy and looks great. There are adjustable slots for letter and legal size files. The instructions for assembly required some studying and lacked detail, and the last step of adding the small pencil drawer runner requires very small hands. Over-all, I would recommend this file cabinet as it's of good quality and really adds to your decor."

Nice but needed some tweaking
Date:November 9, 2011
"Quality and tips:
1) The wood quality and veneer sheen is very nice for the price.
2) Have a drill with a small drill bit handy. For each of the drawers, I had to re-measure, mark and drill all 3 tiny holes on one side of the drawer. I was glad one side of each drawer was drilled properly.
3) Assembly instructions could be improved. I recommend putting gliders onto the wood portions before it is assembled and standing. Sooo much easier that way with this unit.
4) The slide-out shelf only slides out about 10", but supports more than I thought it would because of metal glider systems (that are appropriately greased for smooth activity after breaking in).
5) The bottom of the drawers are just like the back, but with clear calk I added holding it in place, the drawer is usable to hold bedside items. For the second unit, I will be adding thin (paint-stirring stick or thinner) to the underside of the drawers for support.
6) I'm pretty sure mine was a return, because I found a cam already shoved into one of the holes. Not good.

I assembled it in about 3 hours.
I got the Merlot color; the color may be a little more red than you might expect, but that worked for me and my other cherry furnishings.
I like the unit. I bought 2 of them in one order so they could be bedside tables to match the height of the top of the mattress -- hard to find nice tables about 30" high. The drilling of holes and adding calk did not make me happy, but the final result is beautiful.
Of course they went on sale a day or so after I purchased them. Lol, my luck."
