The product was missing two key fasteners and without them, it can no be assembled or used. Contacted the manufacturer asking them to send the two connectors.
They replied asking me to either wait 25 days for them to come from China or for ME to purchase a similar part from another seller on Amazon and then wait for reimbursement from them.
I rejected both remedies and am left with a $140.00 purchase that is rendered useless.
Additionally, the item is very difficult to put together as is broken down completely and the instructions are only drawings.
Wouldn’t recommend this item to anyone.

I purchase this to go next to my home office desk. It is affordable and the quality is in line with it. It was a bit of a pain to assemble, even as an IKEA pro 😉 Quality is fine for staying there and never moving. I think that the day I have to move it to another location it may not last very long.

The good: it arrived intact, no damage to the box or the wood pieces inside, with all parts and directions. It was a bit heavy, which is to be expected I guess. Now that it’s assembled, I’d say it looks good. Not great, but good. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. All pieces were present and seemed to go together properly. MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE TWO WHEELS WITH BRAKES ON THE FRONT OF THE UNIT. They are not marked in any way and it’s easy not to realize two of the five are different. The soft close hinges are a surprising and nice touch.
The meh: there are a lot of pieces. Many pieces of wood, plastic, metal, lots and lots of screws, dowels, and thingamajigs of varying sizes. Do yourself a favor, lay out all the bags of parts and do not dump them out, pick them one at a time from the bags as needed. It takes a lot of space to assemble this one. You need a large, relatively empty room, or maybe outside with a drop cloth down to protect the finish. Medium sturdiness and build quality. It feels like if you don’t roll it too much or use it super heavily it should last indefinitely. On the other hand it feels like one trip in a moving van would probably do it in.
The ugly: this is not my first rodeo. I recently helped my sister assemble a whole bedroom of flat pack furniture. This file cabinet took 2:42 to assemble. Yes, I said nearly THREE HOURS. There are so many screws y’all. So many. In the time it took to put this together I had helped my sister assemble the entire room of furniture AND stopped to eat lunch. This will take a while – clear your calendar, and maybe fix a drink beforehand. You’ll need it. And you have to be careful – the little metal cam lock posts are very difficult to screw in straight without cracking the particleboard. Probably the biggest flaw is the back. On most flat pack furniture of…shall we say…a Swedish background…the back is nailed on all the way around the outside of the frame to give the whole thing much more stability. This one has the back slide in, and in two pieces. It’s held in grooves, not attached to anything. So there is very little stability. You can probably set something moderately heavy on top but if it’s subject to any lateral load it’s not gonna last long. Rolling it around with something heavy on top is probably a bad idea.
So, am I happy? Sorta. It’s definitely affordable, looks okay, and will be a big improvement over piles of paper on the floor. But I probably would have aimed for something higher quality if it weren’t 2022, the year that everything is out of stock. But this one does have a certain ineffable quality now: that of doneness. Now where’s that drink?A

Down sized, this is much shorter, narrower and less wide than the desk & file cabinet I had. Looks much better too. Pleased with purchase. Note; this isn’t sturdy enough to hold lots of weight. File cabinet definitely isn’t super sturdy.

Instructions were pretty decent. Looks great, and seems to be sturdy. Fits the bill!

It took me approximately 4 1/2 hours to assemble. I must say they are the best directions I’ve ever used. It is pretty laid out. They tell you to use a screw driver but I also used my impact drill very carefully with no problem.
It’s very sturdy & pretty in color. I’d say they covered this assembly great!!!

I finally decided to treat myself to a new storage and filing cabinet after cramming everything into a small 2 drawer cabinet for decades. I am tiptoeing into the “real furniture” phase of life and need things to be good value, look good, and serve multiple functions. This cabinet hits on all of those marks, it fits all my files and my printer fits on top perfectly.
Assembly
This took some time and space to assemble, I took over the entire dining room floor for this project so I could lay all the pieces out. I’m also glad I read the comments from other people before I started, especially about not overtightening screws until the end. Overall it took me most of an evening and a few hours the next morning to get this finished, but two people could have done it a lot faster. The part that gave me the most trouble was anchoring down the top plank and getting it to snug up to the base, I got frustrated enough that I gave up and went to bed. Once I looked at it with fresh eyes and brains it finally connected. Everything lined up it was like zipping a zipper and fell into place instantly. It was smooth sailing after that and aside from that the instructions were clear and easy to follow if you are familiar with flat-pack furniture.

Two parts of No12 were broken.
So I could not assemble the product.
And there are “28 steps” to assemble the product.
I have assembled many products(furniture).
It is a bit difficult and more time is needed than you might expect.
But customer service contacted me and dealt with the issue.
So, I am satisfied the product and service.
If I have an opportunity to purchase furniture, I would like to consider utilizing this company.
