As other reviewers have said, this filing cabinet comes 99% assembled, is sturdy, and looks high-quality. However, the 1% of assembly that this cabinet needed -- attaching the plastic handles -- is far more cumbersome than it should be. The screw holes in the back of the handles are not threaded, so I had to use a bit of elbow grease to get the screws into the plastic. What should have taken 30 seconds took me 10 minutes. That said, I'm sure the minor labor will soon be forgotten as we continue using this good-lookin' cabinet. I'm knocking one star off this review because of the difficulty inserting the screws and the fact that the handles would look better if they were metal.
