The Rodney Filing cabinet is beautiful. It looks like a piece of furniture not a filing cabinet. It is a long way from the ugly metal cabinet I remember as a child! The charm of this cabinet is just one of the things I was impressed by. The cabinet is very sturdy and while it’s not solid wood it is still very nice. The instructions and packaging, you can see the pics but each pack had the coordinating step labeled on the pack…I buy a lot of furniture items online and this was the most organized easy instructions I have ever come across. It did take 2 hrs to put together but it was easy to follow instructions and like I said construction and quality was great.
