This is your basic metal filing cabinet.  The top two drawers lock and the bottom does not.  The locking mechnism is not very secure as the metal can easily be bent.  As a bonus, you won't need a separate skeleton to hang the hanging folders.  Though there are similar filing cabinets available at your local stores, I did the math and basically I was paying an extra $5 to have it shipped to my house vs. having to go to the store and hauling it back home in my car.  Overall, it fit my needs for the money I was willing to spend.
