Bush Furniture Refinery 2 Drawer Lateral File Cabinet in Rustic Gray

I have had this for almost a year, and it functions just as well as when I got it. I like basically everything about it. It is very sturdy. It did take some time to put together, but it was worth it. You just can't have both drawers open at the same time if they have files in them. It makes it tip forward, which would be true for any such lateral file.

i have multiple pieces from this set that have been successfully built. i was very happy with the set. i am writing a review on the 3 drawer file cabinet:My W182913(N) and W182911 (L) midde-drawer side pieces have screw holes designed for the drawer front plate to slide into and thereafter be screwed in. the manufacturer drilled the access on the wrong side of these pieces. the drawer face plate connectors are too thick to slide into the improperly drilled receiving ends on each side piece. if flipped around to the other side, there is no carve out on the bottom to secure the drawer bottom. as such, i cant finish building the product.i hope the seller/manufacturer contacts me to replace my faulty cabinet and i can update my review. i was very happy with my other purchases of this beautiful bush furniture set.

I just finished putting the lateral file cabinet together. The instructions could be better, I heed warning to pay CLOSE attention to the images in the instructions when putting this together. I found myself putting a couple pieces on upside down or backwards a few times. Aside from instructions being weak, as others have stated, this thing is built like tank! One of the main reasons I purchased was that this goes well with my existing wood cabinets and will hold my printer on top.

This thing is built like a tank! I'm really surprised you can find materials this beautiful and durable at this price mark.Assembly took 1.5hr solo. Very detailed instructions. The only complaint I have (which is a small one) is that the stickers used to mark each part were on the outside of the part. Therefore, don't think that would automatically be the inside of the part. And yes, you will have to scrape those pesky stickers off. But like I said, pretty darn small.

I like the look of the bookcase, HOWEVER, parts weren't well thought out. There are these triangular supports on the bottom shelf and they only include 3 rather than 4, but there are designed holes for the 4th support. I thought maybe I was missing a piece, but the instructions only have 3 included. It's as if there was a screw up in the production of the item, they planned for too few parts and rather than fix it, they altered the plans because that was a cheaper solution. Also, the separators slide and can't be fixed in place so unless you have something heavy on the other side of the divider you can't actually lean any books against it. Easy fix would be to include some screws and holes on the bottom of the metal plate in case anyone wanted to fix them in place, but that apparently wasn't thought through either. It looks great in the space, but those little mistakes are just silly and could've been easy fixes to make this a 5 star product

Overall, I'm giving this product four stars since it is extremely sturdy, looks great, and serves its purpose. With that said, I think it is slightly overpriced for what you get considering its size. I was really only looking for something with drawers to hold my office printer so I debated between this item and a similar sized fireproof safe at Costco for $299. Considering the safe was made entirely out of 14 gauge steel, weighed 140 lbs, had an electronic lock, and a much sturdier felt lined drawer, it just seems like a better value. I ultimately chose the Bush pedestal since it matches my existing furniture and includes a true filing drawer which I may need in the future.It doesn't seem like a piece of furniture like this would require much in terms of assembly from looking at photos, but that couldn't be any further from the truth. This was actually one of the more complicated flat packed items I have assembled. Plan on a solid three hours. The directions were not the best, but they also weren't the worst. There isn't a lot of text so be prepared to rely on the printed diagrams which are adequate. Definitely pay attention to the note that says "do not tighten any screws until the end" since this is what ensures you end up with a solid, level, and well aligned piece of furniture. I followed the directions to a T and ended up with a great piece without the need for any additional adjustments. The cabinet is level in all directions and the drawers line up and operate smoothly.I'm happy with this product, but I do wish it had been a little cheaper (I paid $205). My only other complaint is the two top drawers which aren't designed to hold a lot of weight with their cardboard bottom. A few pens and pencils should be fine, but I wouldn't take a chance on much more than that. I believe the instructions say they will hold up to 15 lbs each, but I could be mistaken. Either way I probably will refrain from loading them up. The bottom drawer is well supported and should hold a lot of weight.

Love this file cabinet, using it as a printer stand. It take a little while to build but once it's built does not seem like cheap, home-built piece of furniture. It's heavy and solid. Great colors. Also have the 72" Refinery desk with return - whole office is very nice.

This product came in fast, looks amazing for the office. I was a bit hesitant to order not knowing if the wood would look good. It came in and when it was assembled it really took me back. Clients love it and it is certainly no ordinary filing unit.
