"I bought two of these cabinets because I wanted something sleek and budget-friendly for my apartment living room. They look great, are easy to assemble, and the drawers slide smoothly. One cabinet arrived with a minor dent from shipping, but it didn't impact functionality, so I just covered it up and kept it.

There was no unpleasant odor, and it fits my files perfectly, though it doesn't accommodate legal-size folders. I'm very happy with this purchase!"

"For the price, this cabinet is an excellent value and matches the description. I knew it would be lightweight and not solid wood, but that's what I was looking for. The drawers are spacious and it holds my printer just fine. If you want solid furniture, this might not be for you, but it's perfect for light storage needs."

"I bought this as a side table for my workspace and it's the perfect size for my printer. Assembly was easy and the style looks nice, but I didn't realize the drawers would be fabric until I got it.

The only downside was the messy styrofoam packaging, but the end product is sturdy, fits my printer on top, and the black finish is easy to touch up. Excellent value for the money."

"I put this cabinet together on my own in about two hours, and everything was included with a few extra hardware pieces. The laminate finish seems tough, but since it's made of particle board, I’ll be careful not to expose it to moisture.

Still, for what I paid, it’s exactly what I needed."

They looked into replacing just the damaged parts, but instead sent me an entirely new unit, which arrived in just two days! The cabinet itself is solid, looks great, and the lockable drawers with different keys are perfect for shared office spaces. Assembly was about what you'd expect—if you've put together similar products, it's straightforward. Overall, I'm very pleased with both the cabinet and the company's excellent support."

The seller was also responsive about shipping and ensured my order arrived before Christmas, which I appreciated. I'm so happy with this purchase that I’d consider buying another if I run out of space."

"I rarely leave reviews, but I have to say this was my most frustrating assembly experience. The instructions were very confusing, and even the video didn't help much. The photos were inaccurate, and if you make a mistake, the metal doesn't hold up well to being re-screwed. It took me hours and still didn't come together right. You’ll definitely need extra lighting and a power drill for this one. Assembly was a real struggle for me."

"I was initially worried about buying a metal cabinet, thinking it would be flimsy, but I was pleasantly surprised. The drawer guides are smooth, the finish is attractive, and the build feels solid.

"I ordered a beige cabinet but received a black one instead. The return process was a bit confusing, and the metal isn't super sturdy, but for the price, it's decent. The lock is basic, and while I would have preferred the correct color, I'll keep the black one due to the hassle of returning."
