this is a beautiful and well constructed piece of furniture.  a bigger size than what I was expecting ( but true to dimensions online ) but perhaps it just "feels" bigger due to weighty construction and good looks.  the two drawers are very large and will hold legal files.  the only drawback is that assembly was very time consuming and a challenge with vague instructions... my husband was not a fan of putting it together and said "never again" ... good thing I only need one file cabinet !
