🗄️ Black 3 Drawer File Cabinet by Monarch Specialties - Optimal Filing Cabinet Review

Excellent wood quality, durable wheels, attractive design. We have this item next to an expensive desk and dining room and it doesn't look out of place at all. Accommodates a full-size desktop printer, e.g. B. a Brother color printer, with spacious drawers. Very stable, does not move during printing. Installation was easy and reliable. Impressed and very happy with this piece.

This is a great example of what you can do with chipboard, and also a great example of where chipboard should not be used. The assembly took over 2 hours. Incredibly many individual parts. 15 individual chipboard components and 129 different fasteners (screws, cams, dowel pins, etc.). I would rate it as more rigid, but the file guides are small-diameter metal rods that will flex if you load too many files.

filing cabinet with 3 drawers has a very strong chemical odor. If I stayed longer in our office (about an hour), my chest would start to hurt. At first I thought it was just me, but my husband complained about the same issues after spending a few hours in our home office. Every time we stayed in the room our chest hurt. The chemical smell was quite strong. After a few weeks my husband had to throw it away as it became dangerous to be in the room. All chest pains went away almost immediately…

After reading all the reviews I was reluctant to buy but did it anyway. That's exactly what you would expect. Chipboard with beautiful laminate. It took 1 hour to assemble with the help of my 8 year old son. It came out great. Who is in trouble, slower. Its chipboard does not forgive any mistakes. Be specific and only tighten as much as possible. Directions were good. I've gone back and cross-referenced a few points, but a little common sense goes a long way. The weak point is the tip. The…

Very happy that this cabinet complements the desk I bought from the same company. The table was difficult to assemble but manageable, so we felt we could handle this little guy. Oh how wrong we were. The instructions are so confusing and the material is incredibly constructed. The damage shown in the picture was caused by putting a wooden dowel in the desired hole. our thumb. At the request of the company (in the attached materials), instead of returning the Revain product, we went to their…

This is a laminated cabinet but is of a very high quality. It's assembled with glued pins and built in clips to hold everything together while the glue dries. There are many parts and a lot of equipment to assemble. Took me about two hours. The result is a very strong unit. The amount of hardware means everything works precisely and everything is nice and square. I've never had a filing cabinet with an optional front wheel, but I'm telling you I'll never buy one without it again. My old closet…

I got a decent result in the end, but this product has a lot of annoying problems. The screws that hold the drawer slides in place are tiny, finely threaded, and small in diameter, so they tend to loosen rather than hold. In contrast, I recently made a similar product from the Sauder brand, and their zippers are large, heavily threaded barrels by comparison. Instructions are a nightmare of poor planning - look at step 8 in the photo, which is actually dozens of steps grouped into a sprawling…

UPDATE: The company asked for a few more days but got back to me anyway and with a tracking number for a new part! They apologized and insisted on fixing the problem and they certainly did! Since then it has held up great and looks fantastic in my office! Ordered this filing cabinet and matching desk. I don't use my office much, but since it's tax time it will find a use soon! Unfortunately, upon entering my office the other day, I noticed that one of the filing shelf pieces had gone through…
