Lorell Mesh Rolling File, 12-1/2 by 25 by 28-1/4-Inch, Black

I received this item yesterday and am very happy with the purchase. I work from a home office and wanted something nicer than the cheap looking plastic versions of a rolling file cart. Here are the reasons I gave it five stars:- it looks super nice for a home office- it very efficiently fits right under my desk so it doesn't take up floor space in my small office. The assembled height is 27 3/4" and my desk height is 28" so just be aware of height if you are looking to have it fit under your desk.- it is very solid and sturdy- it's made from steel/metal and not cheap plastic like other versions you see online- letter sized files with file holders fit perfectly- bottom shelf is very strong and could hold things like reams of paper for a printer, if needed- this item does not wobble in the least - it is super safe and durable- it has a nice sheen to it - it's not too shiny and not matt - just a nice in between sheen that makes it a nice looking piece of office furniture- super smooth rolling mechanism for moving the cart around.I saw that 2 individuals gave this product 2 stars because the holes didn't line up correctly. There was no need for this and there is no need for concern. This product did not deserve 2 stars for this reason. Yes, it is true at first glance the holes to put in the screws with the pieces don't appear to line up if all you are doing is holding up the pieces to assemble, but then you realize that there is a reason for this once you are done. All you need to do is apply some reverse pressure to have the holes line up. The reason for the tight fit I realized after I was done is that is that is what makes this so sturdy once assembled. If the holes weren't a tight fit you'd end up with a wobbly product whose screws would gradually become loose over time and you wouldn't be happy with it if it did this. An example is an office chair - all the holes line up perfectly and easily to assemble, but in time you have to get the allen wrench out and tighten everything up again. Because the fit is so tight with the screws on this item, there is zero chance of these screws coming loose with movement or over time and having your rolling cart accidentally collapse. This item is rock solid once assembled and it's "because" of the tight fit of the pieces. In order to have the holes line up I just applied reverse pressure by putting the opposite side I was working with flat on the floor so that I could apply pressure on the side I was working on - it was simple once you did this. So no need to get out a hammer or bang it up to get it to fit like the 2 star reviewers did - just apply pressure by laying item flat as I mentioned and it will line up. I used a phillips screwdriver to push the screw thru the hole (it then has a nut on opposite side you'd twist onto the screw. Total assembly took about 20 minutes. There were 8 screws. I am going to buy another - this is a fantastic product and I highly recommend it. In my opinion, this item is worth every penny.

I purchased this filing cabinet for my office to supplement the filing drawers in my hutch. I wanted a one I could roll up to my desk to have the files I need handy for whatever I am working on. That way my desk is less cluttered and the files are at my fingertips. After reading the reviews, I was a bit worried about the assembly. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to assemble by myself - and I am not mechanically inclined! I followed the recommendations in other reviews and did not tighten the bolts all the way until all the pieces were together. That way you have a little wiggle room to make sure all the holes match up. Then I tightened all bolts and everything fit together perfectly. Very sturdy - I immediately filled it with the stack of files on my desk and it held them all nicely with no issue. I love the wheels so I can move it around depending if I am using it at my desk or tucked away when I am not working. I highly recommend this unit - good value for the money.

Very sturdy. Holds many files

This simple, solid file box allows easy access to standard hanging file folders and rolls easily out of your way when not in use. You will find that just by completing the assembly, you not only will have gained a practical filing solution, but you will have earned the respect of those around you who wanted to give up half way through. In the end, you will be flattered that the manufacturer had confidence in your ability to assemble this product. The assembly instructions are presented in straightforward, no-nonsense prose, but those who are conversant with basic engineering terms like "flange" will be at a distinct advantage. The supplementary diagrams prove somewhat helpful in places, but should not be taken too literally. A word to the wise: put the casters on last, not first as indicated in the diagram. This will save you untold inconvenience. You will need much elbow grease and probably a hammer to get the frame's component pieces to interlock properly. Try a rubber mallet first, and, whatever might happen, keep a cool head. If you know a very small individual, he or she might have better sized hands than you do for inserting the screws. Be advised that if, while trying to maneuver the tiny screws through three imprecisely aligned holes at a blind angle, you accidentally drop the microscopic nut, the nut will fall inside a nook in the inner part of the frame leg. With experience, you will become better at fishing the nut out of there, and you might enjoy the added challenge. When you finish, you will be able to enjoy a practical, solid, reasonably priced product.
