I have a home office that needed a bit more filing space, and these were the answer. The room has a sofa, and these make wonderful end tables along with useful file space and extra drawers. It's more appealing than tall metal file cabinets and fits with my somewhat Mission decor. These were complicated to assemble but if you follow the step-by-step instructions, it all makes sense. The trickiest parts were the file drawer rails; pay close attention.
