SEDETA 44" File Cabinet, Filing Cabinet fits Legal/Letter Size, 2 Drawer File Cabinets for Home Office with Lock, Power Strip, 6 Storage Shelves, Rustic Brown

We recently updated our basement "office" space and I had been searching for a reasonably priced corner desk. When I found the SEDETA L Shaped Computer Desk I knew it was meant to be as the dimensions worked PERFECTLY. Once I was sold on that, I needed to get a storage shelf/cart for our printer (the desk shelf isn't large enough) and I was happy to find the SEDETA 44" File Cabinet which matched the desk.I found assembly to be pretty easy. Each piece was labeled, as was the hardware, and the instructions were pretty clear. There was another review which indicates you should "wait to install Item 1 until last"... I followed that recommendation but I'm not sure what value it added as it actually made installing the middle screw more difficult and I believe having done it when originally advised it would make things easier to "balance" on other steps (so I would probably ignore that!).Overall the steps are pretty straightforward and I only had 1-2 issues. There was one part where there were multiple holes (and some appeared to be "puttied" over) which caused a mistake when installing the drawer rails, but I quickly recognized and corrected the mistake. All said and done... it took about 1.5 hours to fully build (and that was while doing other things around the house, and by myself). There seemed to be a few other areas with putty applied which was a bit annoying (just getting on hands/fingers) but that was a minor annoyance.The quality is what you would expect for this price point... the wood surface itself is a bit thin, but it looks very nice in person and I love the "industrial" look mixing wood and metal. I also compared the "height" of the file cabinet to the matching desk and assumed the "desk" surfaces would be the same height for both items (29.5") however the file cabinet surface is slightly less as the 29.5" measurement in the photo is for the back wall (which adds 3.9"). As for the drawers, I paid extra attention to ensuring all of the pieces were "squared" when assembling and that the rails were level/centered and I was pleased to find no issues with opening/closing (slides smoothly) or drooping. The addition of integrated power is a nice addition.One other thing I'll mention is that we also purchased the SEDETA L Shaped Computer Desk (also in "Rustic Brown). It isn't an exact color match (a little more of a lighter brown with less of the black grain/streaks) but it's "close enough" to be across the room and not stand out. I've included a photo of that here as well just for reference. I will have more photos on that product/review page for anyone interested, as that was one of the things I looked for when purchasing and considered going in all white since they were likely to be an exact color match.Overall I would recommend this file cabinet - just make sure there's no exterior damage to the box when it arrives from shipping and the inside is well packaged and everything should be good. Enjoy!

Very sturdy and love the look and the capacity it holds. However the wheel broke off during its first roll on hardwood. The filling part in the bottom is nice but the rod that hold the one side comes off so easily and the paper goes flying.

Nice piece. The instructions are very clear and each item has a sticker or impression that matches it to the instructions. It takes some time and patience to assemble but doable.

Looks great, sturdy and directions were way follow.

Overall, the quality of the unit is very good. It's much more sturdy than your typical pressboard shelf you would get from Target or Walmart. It takes a while to put together, but that's because it's held together so well. It will certainly last a long time. My only problem (and it's kind of a big one) is that the folders don't fit in the drawers. You can see from my photos that the hanging folders fit fine, but if you put manila folders in them (which is what's supposed to happen) then you can't shut the drawer. I guess I need to put all my paperwork in the hanging folders. But you can't even use the hanging folder labels because they, too, don't fit when you close the drawer. Very frustrating, simple error that really ruined the experience of re-organizing my home office.

Overall, this cabinet was easy to assemble. I was stalled by the placement of the rails in the first section. Reviewing the rest of the instructions and figured out the exact placement. After that, the instructions were very clear. By the way, I am 71 years old and the only help I needed was to flip the unit on its side to install the each of the side rails. If I can figure out, it should be easy enough for just about anyone to set up. Also, the package is heavy, weighing in at about 67 lbs. The delivery driver was kind enough to bring it into the house. And then like other comments, I laid the package on the floor, opened it, and took out each component and checked that all parts were accounted for. All was good and the assembly went smoothly.Well worth the nominal price.

It's what it says on the tin. Seems solid so far and holds the files I wanted to hold. Looks nice in the room and the built in outlets are nice.Building it alone was only mildly difficult so I imagine building it with the recommended 2 people would be pretty easy.

Nicely pacakeged - box is extremely heavy. I had to take pieces out right were it was left after delivery to carry in the house. I did assemble this cabinet on my own! The directions are simple to follow and it took me 2 whole movies to complete.. Good quality for the price and stable; it is beautiful and served the purpose I purchased it for. I will agreed that the height is lower than most shelves/cabinets, however that worked for me as I did not want it to block my window it sits in front of.
