This filing cabinet is a beautiful piece of furniture with a solid wood back as well. Definitely beats the junk that is being sold by both Staples and Office Depot, which we initially purchased & spent 4 hours assembling, and then returned due to the poor craftsmanship. Even though this filing cabinet is 4X the price, it is already assembled and of a much higher quality. It looks very nice in my husband's office...also much nicer looking than buying a metal filing cabinet as well. We also purchased the 5 year maintenance warranty since we were uncertain of the craftsmanship since we purchased it on line and were unable to view until it arrived. The delivery team came on the day and time promised as well!
