I needed and independent pedestal for my desk and this fits works wonderfully. The wheels allow you to move these drawers but they're stiff enough that you can open and close the drawers. I don't use the lock so I can't speak to that. The drawers are roomy enough for desk needs. Note that it is all folded metal so there are sharp corners. This hasn't been a problem at all for me but I figured I'd point it out. The styling on these is great. They mostly blend in and disappear which is perfect for a file cabinet and drawer system.
