This is perfect for a home office. I would not recommend this for heavy duty filing. Drawers are a LITTLE on the flimsy side and if there are no files in the bottom drawer and it's full in the top drawer, when you open it, it will tip forward. The lock also sucks, when you lock it, it opens a quarter of the way on the other side (where the lock is not on) and I expect a good kick could probably break the lock.
