HOOBRO 5-Drawer File Cabinet, Office Filing Cabinet with Drawers, Wooden Mobile Storage Cabinet with Wheels, for Makeup, Home Office, Easy Assembly, Rustic Brown BF05WJ01G1

Very well engineered. Instructions are minimal and sufficient; extra attention is noted where necessary. I took my time in constructing this and enjoyed the process. I found installing the castors a bit troublesome until I drilled VERY small pilot holes at the places marked for the screws. The runners for the drawers also benefited from pilot holes (though partial installation of the screws without the runner, then removal of the screws, and normal installation of the runners was sufficient here). The product includes some extra hardware and added bits to strengthen the cabinet construction. Again, well designed. Well, worth the cost! (Consider, I am a 75 yo nun and assembled this myself working in a leisurely way during one afternoon! I think most anyone could enjoy this project and be happy with the finished product!)

This is a cheap as you can get. So, there is absolutely no real wood. The screws are of the weakest metal. I am an advanced carpenter, but it took me 3 hours to assemble (1) figuring out the instructions (2) and there are SO Many parts. Having said that, it does go together well. The end product is sturdy. It looks good enough. So, if you have real marble kitchen counters you will not be pleased with its quality. However, if you have a home office never visited by customers, then this will work just fine and you can’t find anything cheaper.

Actually, this 5-Drawer Set is a pretty good bargain for the money. I found it better than the average portable drawer set and much better looking. The wood drawing facing and the dark contrasting top and side panels make for an attractive piece of office furniture. It was reasonably easy to assemble, directions were just fine and easy to understand & follow. I did use wood glue when I utilized the "wood pegs" to secure the top and sides. The quarter screw caps used to secure the sides and top are not the best as you really must be careful not to over-torque or tighten them. In fact, as soon as I set these screws and had them secure, I added "super glue" to each one as an added measure to ensure a satisfactory "lock". Overall, I'd recommend this unit and found it to be a value worth the money. Larry"O"

The media could not be loaded. First off, the good stuff - this cabinet looks really nice and fits perfectly under my desk when needed. The castor wheels can be locked in place so the cabinet doesn't get knocked around. The draws are a good size and there were one or two extra bits and pieces for assembly in case any screws or other joiners had been misplaced, that's always much appreciated.Now the bad - the draws don't sit nicely in place, they just kind of do their own thing and don't line up as well as I would have expected. They aren't on rails so don't tend to sit flush with one another so can look pretty rough at times. What I found really frustrating though was putting it together. Everything went well until the very end when I realised I still had way too many screws left over. That's when I realised I hadn't screwed the ledges in properly that the draws sit on, each ledge requires 4 screws and I only had 2 in each. That's when I discovered that I had missed those screws because there were no pilot holes for them. Only the 2 end screws had pilot holes, the other 2 screws for edge ledge had to be screwed in raw. And that was not a pleasant experience, the laminate layering on the shelves is tough to try and drive a screw through without a pilot hole - thankfully I had a drill to do it myself, but I could have easily drilled too far and ruined the cabinet. Seriously, why would the designers not include pilots holes for all the screws?! --- Rant over.So basically, the draws do look nice but don't expect them to be perfect, and be prepared to put in a little more work than really should be needed when assembling. I spent $100 on these but if you can get them on sale I think they would be more worth it.

I own both the original version and the updated version of this cabinet. The major difference between the two is that the new version comes with pre-installed drawer slides that prevent the drawer from being pulled out all the way. The earlier version had plastic slides that were great for reducing friction, but the plastic was also pliable so it was very easy to deform when screwing them into the side panels which would alter the drawer height, potentially causing problems. The earlier version also used metal dowels to stop the drawer, but they fall out very easily and weren't a very good design. With the pre-installed drawer slides (major improvement) that issue goes away. And the wheels on the drawer slides make the drawer open and close nicely.Typically, self-assembly furniture has a reputation for arriving with missing parts. The first version came with all of the parts. The second version came with some extra screws but one of the drawer pulls was missing a single machine screw. I have reached out to Hoobro support for the part and I'll update about how that process went.I *strongly* encourage you to have a cordless vacuum with you when opening the box to manage all of the styrofoam bits that break free from the rigid packing material.The instructions are easy to follow, but I also will tell you that Step 6 is a crap way to assemble any joint unless you own, and use, a woodworking tool called a corner clamp. I may just make a video that shows the assembly from beginning to end and how to do this without making yourself crazy.
