DEVAISEWood File Cabinet, 2 Drawer Filing Cabinet for Home Office, Vertical File Cabinets with Wheels fits A4/Letter/Legal Size File, BlackThe Forest Stewardship Council

Sliced my hand and wrist a little but not really serious. Careful when drilling the runners. So sharp I didn’t even feel it just saw blood. It would have been perfect if it fit under the desk like I intended!!! But my fault, it shows the wheel measurements and so I have to find blocks to lift my desk🤦🏻‍♀️. Pretty simple instructions just tedious process that took about 2 hours. Tip: lay the unit on its back to lower and gently push (not force) the drawers in. If they aren’t aligned when inserting the drawers and you force it, the whole thing is done. Not bad with a drill handy. FYI the wheels are plastic, pretty durable, but not something I would place heavy items on top of. The wheels could be busted if a person sits on it. Overall very happy with how easily the drawers glide after a little wiggling to get the drawers in. And looks nice.

EDITED: 2/21/24 Excellent Customer Service! After I posted the initial review and gave a two-star rating (below) I received a message from the vendor. I explained the problem with the center wheel and sent photos. The vendor offered a partial refund and over the exchange of several emails, including possibly sending just a replacement panel where the wheel attaches, they ultimately refunded the full purchase price. The vendor responded quickly to messages and very much wanted to remedy the situation. I would give five stars for customer service alone but held back one star due to the problem with the cabinet. I would recommend purchasing anything from this vendor as they stand behind the products and strive for customer satisfaction.INITIAL REVIEW: We wanted a filing cabinet on wheels for flexibility of where we could use it. This cabinet had that, so we ordered it. Unfortunately, the center front wheel that is needed for balance and to prevent tipping broke off the first time we rolled it out of the closet. The wheel was attached with particle board so it could not support the weight. We have kept the cabinet but have to prop it up with a block of wood when we use it to prevent tipping. Poor design of the center wheel.

The DEVAISE 2 Drawer Wood File Cabinet is excessively over-priced for a pressboard structure. Yet, it is functional and as you can see from the photos and very useful.POINTS:1) Assembly is VERY complicated...yes VERY as in Extremely complicated. Upon first opening the hardware pouch - that alone may be enough for you to give up without venturing any further. There are literally hundreds of pieces.2) Give yourself plenty of room. You're going to need it! There must be 35-40 boards and plastic parts to arrange in some order. Fortunately, for the most part, these items are lettered.3) You may have noticed that in Photo #1 there are 3 items NOT included in the kit. I consider them essential. First the Wood Glue: You are screwing into what amounts to pressed sawdust and wood chips. Yes, your screw will bite into the board but if you want it securely anchored in place, use a dab of quality wood glue. Second: The need for a good power screwdriver should be fairly self-explanatory. Save your wrist and use a power screwdriver. WARNING - Do Not Overtighten. Third: A level will come into play when it's time to properly mount and align the drawers.4) DECISION TIME: Here you must decide if this is a 1 party or 2 party undertaking. If you are assembling the DEVAISE 2 Drawer Wood File Cabinet solo, disregard all steps regarding the mounting of the 5 wheels. You will complete mounting the wheels AFTER you have installed the 2 drawers. Jumping past the wheel mounting will keep the cabinet steady as you mount the drawers into the tracks. If you have someone working with you, then just mount the wheels in step.5) Apply CLOSE attention to the assembly instructions. There are multiple stages of assembly that require a clear understanding of a particular procedure. Often, the direction or orientation of a certain piece is critical and the distinction between the correct placement and the wrong requires extremely close inspection.NEGATIVES: Beyond the DEVAISE 2 Drawer Wood File Cabinet's excessive price for a cheap pressboard unit and the abundant use of plastic, the major negative is the use of cheap (the cheapest?) wheel sets. Not only do the resist rolling, when they do roll they mark our hardwood floors. Amazon sells some truly excellent wheels for cabinets but they range from $40-$120 USD. And, keep in mind, you need 5 wheels.

We really like this very good looking and solid cabinet. They provide extra parts just in case which is always appreciated... the ONLY problem is that the assembly isn't easy and you need two people for the final step. Plan on 1-2 hours putting it together but once you do, it's very nice.
