This file cabinet gets a 5 for design and looks but a 1 for assembly, and the accompanying video on assembly. While it was very similar to all other "needs assembly" furniture, the drawer slides were more awkward, the screws that fit into the cams were covered in plastic and do not screw but just set in. In my case, they did not need to be "pinched" to insert, which was misleading. Hence the three rating. However, if you're used to these parts, then it would be a breeze to assemble. Also, I wasn't keen on the casters since it ruins the look of the file drawer so I didn't install, but you will need to as the bottom drawer drags on the floor when opening.
