Very hard to tuck the back panel of the drawers in place. -
Couple of flaws. Good choice overall compared to paying $600+ for an assembled one. Color is great.Asemmbly went well until putting on the back panel of drawers. Because the protruding clutch of the side rail bar was a bit too long, there was not enough space for the back panel to slide into places ( 2 sides and bottom panel). I had to pry open the the holding hems of the side panels to insert the back panels. Some paint chipped off and too hard to press them flat again which is annoying. Not sure if it will rust later.Also, one corner of a side hem of the top panel bended outward which should be wrapping around the side panel snuggly. Tried to clamp it flat and some paint chipped off... Fortunately it is toward the back of one side, not obvous.

Great, inexpensive file cabinet. Easy to assemble.
It seems intimidating when you order a file cabinet and two boxes arrive, about 1/8th the size of the actual file cabinet... Assembly is fairly straightforward and seems much like putting together Ikea furniture. I'd say this was actually easier than assembling some of the Ikea furniture I've bought in the past.- The instructions start with assembling the drawers. However, I recommend assembling the cabinet first (so you have somewhere for the drawers to go once they're assembled).- The cabinet is lighter and easier to maneuver without the drawers, so first set up the cabinet where you want it, then install the drawers.- After you assemble the cabinet, before you insert the drawers, check the lock rail retaining screws. If any of these screws are loose, they may bind up with the drawers (particularly the plastic locking guide on the drawers), and this can mess up the cabinet and drawers.- The hanging folders bind up on the outer rails. I wish the company would crimp those outer rails a little better so the hanging folders can slide on them easier.- There are some rivets attached to hinges that hold the back of the file cabinet together. If the box was smashed a little in shipping, these rivets may have popped out. Be sure to push them back in if this happened (I was able to do this with a pair of needle nose pliers).Overall this is a really nice file cabinet and I'm impressed with how they were able to compress a file cabinet into such a small box.

Works great in my sewing room!!
Love this little drawer cabinet. It's the perfect addtion to my sewing space. I can store quilting rulers, manuals & sewing tools in it. It's the perfect fit for under my cutting table. It was missing the back piece but the company was very quick to send the missing part. The assembly was very easy.. I would buy it again.

Drawers are difficult to open and close
Easy to build and durable product. Drawers are not smooth. The very bottom drawers is impossible to open with one hand.

Sturdy Product but Frustrating Assembly
I was excited that my lateral cabinet arrived earlier than expected and was packaged extremely well. However, my excitement has QUICKLY turned into frustration because what was supposed to be an afternoon project of assembling the cabinet and organizing my business office has now turned into a multiple day project! The bottom of the one outer shell is dented and piece L was extremely difficult to push in the entire way due to the outer panel being dented. Also, I absolutely cannot figure out how to place piece C into each drawer. The assembly instructions make zero sense for this step. I have watched a video multiple times of two guys assembling the same style file cabinet (but in black) and still can't make sense of how to assemble piece C due it that part not being clear. So...unless someone can more clearly show how to fit piece C into the drawers, I am stuck!

Just awesome.
Fedex made this product delivery possible with no damage. Easy to assemble with a drill. All four corners of package were protected with "metal" corner protectors. I was amazed at how well and perfect the package arrived in. Easy instructions, and they also provided video guide in the listing. No missing hardware, extra two screws left for backup. The only advice I have is, take your time and don't make a mistake when sliding the drawers in, you don't want to damage the rails and metal. What I really like about this particular version from Aobabo is, the slide rails are already installed, and a total of 19 screws were used to attach the whole thing together. Thank you for making things easier.

sturdy but very hard to assemble
Once I got this cabinet together, it was very sturdy. I had a couple of problems though.1) It took a total of 3 hours to assemble, even looking at the book, and watching a YouTube video. Directions are not clear. I also did not know that there was a hinge down the back panel so it folds in half for shipping.2) When I started putting green hanging folders in the cabinet, they didn't fit easily. I put the bar in the middle of the drawer and loaded one side. When I tried to load the 2nd side, The folders would not stay put until I had several together. I could not hang 1-2 folders at a time without them falling.

They got me with the shipping, SMH
I forgot to press the Prime button and ordered this thinking it cost about 40$ when it cost twice that plus tax. Live and learn.The item is worth $30 at most. It looks nice but has no drawer slide bearings and is super thin metal.I will use it, but it needs some WD40 or grease for the drawer slides to work.Some sheet metal working experience is a definite plus.
