The file cabinet is perfect for my home office needs and as advertised - an attractive solid piece. The assembly was a little daunting.  Being male, impatient, and giddy to see it completed - I skipped a few steps with almost catastrophic consequences. Stick to the instructions and you'll be fine. On a side note, when the cabinet arrived by FedEx the top piece was damaged. I called customer service and in a few days a replacement part arrived.  I even received an email from a representative checking to be sure the replacement part arrived and was undamaged. Doesn't get any better than that.
