This is a beautiful file cabinet.  I put it together myself in about 3 hours.  I took my time and made sure I was doing each step correctly, knowing that a file cabinet (with the sliders) would have to be put together precisely.  The engineering that went into this amazes me!  Every screw and hole perfectly aligned and I didn't encounter one issue.  Each piece was in perfect condition.  I had looked and looked for a lateral file cabinet and for the price, I decided to go with this one.  The defining decision maker for me was the positive reviews.  I hope others will take my word for it and buy this!  It's awesome... 

Pros: Great value, clear assembly directions, quality construction
Cons: More color options would be great!  I probably would have gotten one a little lighter, but it still looks beautiful in my office with all of my antiques.
