Search for a lateral file cabinet that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing ended with this piece. Short of spending exponentially more for a WOOD one, this flat packed 120 pound piece is just great for our needs. Yes, it is VERY heavy. No surprise as that is clearly listed on the specs.  I have experience with this stuff and it took me about 1hr 45 min to fully assemble. Instructions were clear with some humor injected. All parts lined up perfectly and the moldings give the piece a nice finished look. What really impressed me was the technological advances in the ability to reproduce a "wood look". It is made of engineered wood but has the look and FEEL of the real thing. My one disclaimer is longevity, I have only had this for a few weeks so cannot comment on that.
