DEVAISE 3 Drawer Wood File Cabinet with Upgrade to 3 Individual Locks

I like my new file cabinet. It fits under my desk great, and looks great. Assembly is a bit tricky but take your time and it's not bad. I got this assembled in about 1 hour by my self with a few breaks for my dogs - ya know they need food and outside time too...The trick with assembly is to not over tighten the screws/bolts. Tighten the screws/bolts when you are done.

Overall this is a well made home filing drawer. The quality is excellent, and for the price it is a good value. We would buy it again without hesitation. Other reviewers have noted assembly issues. It is not difficult to assemble, but it does take more time than expected. There are four separate pieces to put together; the outer shell, and three drawers. The drawers have metal + ball bearing slides which make for smooth and reliable operation. The slides are Right and Left pairs, and you have to pay attention to mounting them correctly. There are a lot of parts, packed so they can be identified correctly. Thanks to the excellent instructions it is not difficult, but you need to pay attention. A ratcheting screwdriver is a big help.

It If I could give it 0 stars I would. I only had this for a year and it’s already falling apart the screws don’t stay screwed in you had to keep tightening them cause they get loose and than the whole thing just falls apart. Waste of money.

You'd think this small file cabinet would be a half hour simply assembly but like other reviews have pointed out it will take 2 solid hours to assemble this. There is NOTHING pre-assembled, nothing. And be careful how much torque you apply to those cam lock things - this is made of particel board and not a highly compressed board, more like medium compressed, and torquing on them too hard will start to negatively affect the particle board around the opening. Same for tightening screws - don't overtighten as you will simply end up with a endlessly turning screw. DON"T use a power drill to set the screws, bad idea. But once assembled the cabinet seems to be sturdy and looks pretty good. I'm not a fan of the no handles but I won't be opening the drawers that often or I would have bought the version with drawer handles. I put the top drawer lock just to fill the hole but it is a pretty pointless addition - the lock isn't going to prevent anyone from opening the drawer. I also think it is priced a tad too high but it seems everything is 25% higher than 2-3 years ago. I can recommend the file cabinet, gave it four stars, due to it being the quality one would expect at this price point.

I'm a certified buyer of this product and I'm not being paid to praise it. This product earns praise all on it's own. This is an outstanding product. Best thing I've purchased in a long time. It was shipped on time, it was packed with extreme care in packaging that was sturdy with a lot of product protection including heavy cardboard box, plastic corners on both sides on the top and bottom corners, Styrofoam protection sheets and blocks. The instructions were outstanding, easy to follow, identified front and back and top and bottom, all the pieces were there and all the holes were drilled correctly, extra screws and connectors. It has two locking drawers that actually work the first time, a couple extra features I've never seen, two key holders for the two locks and a front wheel to help with the weight of a full file drawer. Excellent!! This manufacturer covered in their instructions for every complaint I've ever had about instructions. I will definitely buy from this supplier and this manufacturer again in the future;

A practical and attractive filing solution that works just as well as a storage unit as it does a traditional file cabinet. The rolling design is a genuine convenience, making it easy to tuck under a desk when not in use or reposition around the office or home as needed. The wood finish looks noticeably more polished than typical metal filing cabinets, blending naturally into home office setups without looking out of place. Build quality is solid for the price, feeling sturdy once assembled and not prone to wobbling or rattling when moved. The lock adds useful peace of mind for sensitive documents, and the drawers glide smoothly on their runners. Letter size file compatibility covers most everyday needs, and the three drawer layout balances file storage with general storage space nicely. Assembly is straightforward with clear instructions, though it does take some time to put together. The casters roll well on hard floors but can struggle slightly on thick carpet. Some users may also find the overall capacity a little limited if they have heavy filing demands.

I read the reviews so I expected a lot of pieces, but even my expectations were surprised by the insane amount of pieces to put together. The pain is mainly the amount of screws this requires, and the holes that are predrilled are so shallow (see picture) that you're screwing in 97% of the length of the screw in. Not a big deal until you realize there's 45+ of these to do plus lots of other screws and doodads to figure out. I'd give the instructions a B. Not difficult to figure out but a few confusing places. Pay attention to avoid throwing this thing out the window from pure frustration if you do something wrong... I didn't but if I had, I would've considered it. I did this by myself, took me maybe 3 hours. I started in the evening, and finished it the next morning. Now that it's together, I'm mostly happy with it. I wish I could lock the filing cabinet as opposed to the top drawer. The back of this cabinet disappointed me the most as it's two pieces of cardboard taped together (see picture). The exterior is black and matches but it's easily broken into. The particle board is a medium press, so if you use a drill you'll probably damage it. I'd rather they had used a harder particle board and required a drill. Overall, now that the putting it together is done I'm ok with it but I've learned a lesson: paying for convenience is worth it.

I had moved over from a standard desk for work over to a adjustable standup desk. With that change I lost my storage space for my files as well as office supplies and needed a place to keep it all organized. After searching Amazon for a few days I found the listing for the DEVAISE 3 Drawer Rolling File Cabinet and made the decision to purchase the file cabinet. The cabinet was shipped quickly, and arrived as expected. The directions were clear as well as all the hardware was labeled out nicely to understand the steps on putting together. It took around a half hour give or take to assemble the cabinet. Once assembled it was solid and does not feel cheap like it will fall apart. The drawers are tight and the wheels lock to ensure it does not move around if you do not want it to. The file drawer has a wheel as well to prevent the drawer from breaking or the cabinet from tipping. The hook on the side works well for hanging up your headset or headphones. The finish of the cabinet is a semi gloss and looks nice as well as matched the wood top of my desk nicely. Overall, I have not found anything with the DEVAISE 3 Drawer Rolling File Cabinet that I do not like or had any issues with the quality of the cabinet. If you like quality, I would highly recommend purchasing this cabinet to use in your office setting or your home office.
