Review on πŸ—„οΈ Bush Furniture Cabot 2 Drawer Lateral File Cabinet: Stylish Espresso Oak Storage Solution by Lisa Adamczak

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad - would buy more

Looks great - looks more like furniture than a filing cabinet. It's close to Ikea's brown and black bedroom furniture - not identical, but close enough to match. The box arrived badly crumpled, but not a single part was damaged. The quality is typical of this type of chipboard/MDF furniture. All the holes matched except for one and it was only slightly offset so it had to be widened a bit with a screwdriver. and connection points. I plan to put a flat screen TV on it that will take the weight with no problem. The mechanism to only open one drawer at a time is pretty simple and works. It won't require much force, but that's not its purpose. When the drawers are closed there is no discharge and they seem to have a tendency to open. It's probably more of an issue with my floor than the closet. I assume a few small standoffs under the front of the case will fix this. The buttons are shiny plastic and pretty awful, but I got solid brushed nickel ones from Home Depot for $4 each. It was worth replacing them because it makes a big difference. Cabinet handles come in different widths; Buy ones with a 96mm (4 3/4 inch) bolt spacing. I had to add some washers in the box because the bolts were a bit long with the new grips. Spend the extra cash and buy some pucks just in case. hold a lot of weight. However, this is normal as the cabinet is designed for hanging binders, so the weight is distributed over the rails at the top of the drawers. Legal acts are laid on their side from side to side. There are also straps for hanging two rows of folders front to back. The splints are all plastic but they seem strong enough. I wish the closet had a lock but I knew there wasn't one before I bought it.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Hard to say
