Review on 🗄️ Glide-RD Steel 3-Drawer Locking Mobile File Cabinet for Letter/Legal Size - Assembled, Red | Bindertek by Andrea Allen

This is one of several steel rolling cabinets made in China that look identical or very similar. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were made in the same factory. They share the same basic design and appear to be made from the same materials. Functionally, they are very well suited for home office use. FEATURES This cabinet makes ordinary desk filing cabinets look old-fashioned. This one is smooth, rounded and modern. I chose a bluish gray to complement my office walls of the same color. The boxes are cream colored. This model is available in several other color combinations. It has three drawers: the lower one is for files, triangular or hanging drawers and drawers for letters or legal documents. The middle drawer can hold anything, for example it's perfect for a huge stack of printer paper. The top drawer is just under the desk and is a great place for everyday desk needs and there is a handy pull out shelf for pencils, pens etc. All this is on casters with two lockable front wheels. I say two of these because there are actually three front wheels, one of which is centered under the file drawer to keep the cabinet from tipping forward when the drawer is full. CONSTRUCTION QUALITY I've seen a few comments about this cabinet being flimsy or made of flimsy materials. That's absolutely not true. However, this comes with a very big BUT. I learned a lot from a family member who was a purchasing manager at a large bank. When I heard how much she spends on tables, chairs, and filing cabinets, I asked why you could get them for a fraction of the price. She taught me to distinguish between cheap office furniture and one that's meant to withstand years of everyday use and commercial abuse. This cabinet isn't flimsy, but then again, it's not as heavy as an office. But their price is not the same, such an office-grade cabinet costs at least twice as much. This is great for everyday home use. TRANSMISSION TO YOU I've also seen comments about receiving a damaged cabinet. Of course this is always possible, but remember that the seller took proactive measures when they became aware of the problem and your cabinet will now arrive in a very thick and durable corrugated box. You open it by lifting the fixed lid to find a cabinet hanging from the foam corners. When you unroll the cabinet it's fully assembled and mine arrived without a single scratch. KEYS Be very careful, the cabinet comes with all three drawers locked and the keys are taped to the clear plastic bag that protects it. It would be very easy to overlook the keys and throw them away with the bag, so pay attention to this clue. By the way, the keys are very cool, they are encased in a self-protecting plastic case and cannot be duplicated. looks very attractive and quite modern compared to most office furniture. For the current price, it offers very good value for money and should do a lot of useful work for light to moderate everyday use. the ones that close the last inch or so, like the ones on my kitchen drawers. without hesitation or reservation.
