Happy with the purchase, in the last month I've put together 3 different pieces of furniture, I'd rank this piece as the 2nd easiest piece to assemble, if you're familiar with  the assembly parts that Ikea supplies with their furniture(anchor screws, twist lock bolts), this uses similar parts, which work well, and lock things down tightly and in an easy fashion. The wood laminate is aesthetically pleasing. Worth noting is that the tones/hues are all in the gray/black spectrum with this file cabinet, I have a couple other gray oak toned pieces of furniture and those have brown and tan hues that aren't that noticeable until some other brown colors are introduced around them. The handles on the file cabinet are plastic if your interested in replacing them with higher quality metal ones, it would be best to do it during the initial assembly because the bolts that anchor the handles are hidden behind the file hanging assemblies.
