I bought this file cabinet because it had a locking drawer on the bottom.  I need the locking drawer for proprietary files.  Unfortunately, although the cabinet looks very nice and the drawers pull out easily enough, the file drawer that locks is less than spectacular.  The lock is not very sturdy and the drawer is not sturdy either. The locking drawer is the one drawer that does not actually close very well. If someone wanted to get into the locked file drawer they could easily give it a good pull and they'd probably break the lock open.  So I would not recommend for anyone who is looking for something really solid and safe.Other than that -it looks very nice and the other drawers work well.
