Letaya Lateral 3 Drawer File Cabinets with Lock Metal Filing Storage Vertical Cabinets Home Office Furniture for Organization

This file cabinet is very heavy—over 100 pounds—so be prepared for that right from the start. I opened the box, removed all the pieces, and carried everything up to the location where the cabinet would permanently live before beginning assembly. From start to finish, the process took me about three hours. I’m a 58-year-old woman who genuinely enjoys putting things together, and overall I found the instructions to be mostly clear. There were a few steps that could have used better clarification, so I read the instructions very carefully and revisited certain sections multiple times. Taking my time made a big difference, and patience is definitely key with this build. That said, the design itself is very intuitive and makes it nearly impossible to assemble the cabinet in the wrong orientation, which was reassuring throughout the process. Once assembled, I’m extremely satisfied with the cabinet. It’s well-made, sturdy, and thoughtfully designed. Files fit both horizontally and laterally, which is a huge plus. I attached the cabinet to the wall, which I would strongly encourage for safety and stability. Overall, this is a solid, high-quality file cabinet, and I would absolutely recommend it—especially if you’re comfortable with careful assembly and taking your time. Read more

My was was a little difficult to put together because of instructions ( 1. Ouch hole when in reality you have to pull holes out for bar to go through) I watched video on Amazon website (in flip though where I bought it) and my drawers closed without no issues. The file cabinet it sturdy and look great. The height is just perfect for me. I am very happy overall with this purchase. Read more

Good cabinet, sturdy when put together with the *almost* clear instruction set, but a few places on the inside of the cabinets have spots of rust that weren't discovered until 75% done with assembly. They shouldn't affect functionality, but all the same that's a quality control issue. I didn't have any of the issues with the drawers not seating, but I did have to go back and re-seat a drawer backing that didn't assemble properly the first time. Lock works, even though I had to fight with the springs to get everything in place. Not the smoothest construction but got the job done and so far, so good. We'll see how long it lasts once fully filled and organized. Read more

My box arrived with one corner banged up, but the product inside didn't have a scratch on it. It was very well packaged. Assembling it was very straight forward. I was able to put it together by myself. I purchased the 3-drawer model and it is going to provide me with plenty of storage space. The drawers slide very smoothly and only one drawer can be opened at a time to prevent it from tipping over. For where I placed mine I could not secure it to a wall. I would definitely recommend this model to anyone looking for a good sturdy filing cabinet. Read more

This product was quite easy to assemble. When I got to the drawers part is where I had the most issues. The drawers did not close properly so I did some troubleshooting and looked at other videos. One particular video helped me. When I pressed down in the inside of the four corners of drawers and in middle as well. Do With a lot of force you should hear it go down. Also, I reached down in the inside of the bottom back and pushed in on the back end and Wow it worked perfectly. It looks great and no issues… I saw a lot of the reviews and I want to say it’s time consuming with the drawers but if you do what I said and have a little patience it’s worth your money and time… Read more

I have to say as far as well engineered and well thought out items go, this is by far the most impressive thing I have seen in years. I saw a review that said they assembled it in 30 minutes. I live for giant lego set type projects and I took my time and it took 2 hours from start to filling it with my files. I love how it was designed and it is a very durable well built filing cabinet. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for one as this exceeds all my expectations! Read more

Comes packeaged very well. Instructions are simple and easy to follow until the end of the assemply. The outer carcass went together very well. The drawers, which you assemble last. took a moment or two to figure out because the drawing and instructions were a bit hard to follow. The big problem came when putting the drawers in the carcass. The drawers don't fit so, the drawers don't close properly and if you jostle the cabinet a little too much trying to get the drawer to open because it sticks, the locking mechanism engages and you have to use the key to disengage the lock while trying to get the drawer to pull out. the top drawer is the most problematic. I'd rather return it to get something of better quality but it's already assembled (mostly) and I'd never be able to get it repackaged like it was when I received it so, I guess this a matter of getting what you pay for.

I recently purchased this item and only received partial shipment. Apparently the cabinet comes in two boxes. I only received box 1 of 2. From what I've received so far I believe the product is of sufficient quality and will satisfy my needs. Once the order is complete and I have the opportunity to assemble and use the cabinet I will adjust my rating. Update - All is well, the other box arrived a few days later. I've assembled the cabinet and am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product. This will work well for my application. The product was a little difficult and time consuming to assemble but difficulties were not insurmountable. Parts could have been labeled better and instructions could have been a bit clearer but not bad overall. Read more
