My husband and I bought this lateral filing cabinet for our office and put a library shelf on either side to create a wall unit. It is absolutely perfect for the space. My only complaint is that the surface is such that fingerprints stay on the wood. (Almost like touching a stainless steel refrigerator, if that makes sense.) It took my husband a few hours to get the filing cabinet put together, but it was completely worth the time. The cabinet is exactly what we needed!
