Side by Side Comparison of: Lorell vs AmazonBasics vs Pendaflex vs Smead

Very nice file cabinet. Exactly what I wanted. The handles have to be screwed on but other than that no other assembly. The handles were a little hard to screw on since the screws are self tapping but it can be done.

Nice 2 drawer file cabinet with lock.The price was reasonable. Perfect for my needs. I would recommend.

It came quickly and was exactly as I expected it to be from the picture and dimensions listed. I am very happy with it.

It perfectly matches a file cabinet from a competing brand that I already have, but at a better price. It's simple, it can be locked and there's not a whole lot else to say about it. Hold letter sized hanging folders.

Sought an inexpensive, temporary file for household papers. This was perfect: decently made, arrived with no dents or nicks. Drawers function smoothly. Since it's lighter weight, you need to try to distribute weight evenly back-to-front and upper vs.lower. Handle it gently, and it does an admirable job for the money. It's a keeper.

this is great, light weight so if you have to move this around your office, plenty of space inside for all your files and the bottom drawer has a key so you can keep certain things hidden.. Definitely worth the money...

These are great! They're standard hanging file folders in a classic green, and the quality seems to be on par with any other brand. Great price compared to local office supply stores. Not a huge fan of the fact that they have to stay in the shipping-style cardboard box, but I guess it saves on waste. Just a little annoying to keep in my cabinet. Wish you could buy larger amounts for a small savings!

These hanging file folders do exactly what you would anticipate a hanging file folder would do. They seem durable enough and work great in my filing cabinets (paired with a file frame and file folders I also bought on Amazon--this is the best place to buy office supplies). Mostly the best part is the price. If you're a writer and student like me, you need to file a lot of paperwork. These work great!

I'm getting a lot of use out of these files! They fit in standard filing drawer and can suprisingly hold pretty heavy loads!

These Amazon file folders work perfect in any office space. Let me tell you how to set them up (because there are some people writing reviews stating that they don't work).1. Tear each of the labels at the perforated lines. There will be some small sections at the end of each strip that are trash.2. Place the label inside of the plastic sleeves. You can have the small section jutting out, or you can fold it behind the larger label.3. This is very important. The plastic sleeves go in between the slits in the tops of the folders. If you have it in correctly, it should be snug in place and not fall over! The plastic sleeves are also slanted for a reason. They are supposed to lean away from you, not towards you.You can also use a simple algorithm such as this to organize your folders: Tab 01(A-B) Tab 02(C-D) Tab 03(E-G) Tab 04(H-J) Tab 05(K-M) Tab 06(N-P) Tab 07(Q-S) Tab 08(T-V) Tab 09(W-Z)I hope this helps some of you.

Great folders! Just as described.

Typical hanging folders can't go wrong. Arrived quickly, in great shape, comes with clear tabs and white inserts enough of them for each folder. Fits in standard filing system box/cabinet

Great price and more or less functional. In retrospect, wish I had paid a little extra for full-extension drawers, but I needed several, so the cost would have been prohibitive. Basically, a solid piece of office furniture at a reasonable price.

Is it decent quality. The lock isn't amazing... But as long as the people aren't determined to get in it will keep people out. It's a strong suggestion to keep out. But it does lock. Other than that it seems to be made well enough for home use.

Rugged and does the job. Obviously not for you if you need strong security, because this little lock would be easy to force. For the price, there's not much to complain about.You have to screw in the handles yourself, but they supply screws.

I needed a filing cabinet and this one certainly fit the bill! It's lighter than I thought it would be. The assembly was just attaching the handles with screws - easy enough. Some other reviews mentioned the drawers not pulling out all the way and it's true, they don't. At the time, I underestimated how annoying this would be. Basically the last 5 1/2 inches of the draw stays inside the cabinet making it unaccessible, unless you slide your hand in and pull the files forward. Other than that, it's a perfectly good filing cabinet.

Purchased this as a holiday gift for my Dad in assisted living in Sarasota, FL. I got free shipping directly to his door & it arrived in a timely manner. My Dad didn't know what it was as there was no identifying description of product in the box. My wife & I wrapped it when we got to FL & he was surprised & delighted. Just fine for his filing needs.

This file cabinet joins five other almost identical black cabinets that line my office wall.They look cool and are servicable for storing documents and other office related parephenalia. However the concept of security is an illusion. Any two-bit punk with a screwdriver is capable of popping open any of the drawers. Or, if the punk is muscular, he can simply pick up a cabinet and flee the premises. The cabinet I purchased from Amazon is also identical to the five previous purchases in another respect: It is incredibly difficult to attach the handles to the drawers. A high level of skill and patience are required. The extra screws are a necessary feature. But beware: I bought the other cabinets on sale at Target for only $28.00 each. Although the Amazon drawers have much stronger bottoms, it is debatable if this is worth the additional cost. For me the convinience of buying it on line from Amazon was tolerable: I'm getting lazy in my old age.

Just started using these hanging file folders. These folders are fairly standard... they hang in a file cabinet and you place other files inside of them. I am pretty impressed with these folders. The material is smooth and does not irritate my hands. The folders as slimmer / thinner than other hanging file folders that I have. I consider this a plus since the hanging file folders take up less space in the cabinet.

For some reason these file folders are about an eighth of an inch too wide for my desk drawer's so I'm having to cut off an eighth of an inch in order to get them to hang properly on the metal rack

Super durable plus on the inside they say AmazonBasics in light grey, it's nice little touch, but I'm biased I like the brand haha

They were in a plain brown box - I'm assuming not the original packaging. Doesn't seem like the quality you would find at an office supply store but they suit me fine.

Well, they're hanging file folders...they hang in the filing cabinet just fine, and are otherwise uninteresting. Solidly made. Shall I compose an ode? I shall compose an ode.

These folders are not that thick, I would not necessarily call them flimsy but they are somewhat thin. On the other hand the metal hangers are very sturdy. I appreciate the tabs that came along with them. And I enjoy the different colors I felt that it made my organizing easier. I have not had large amounts of paper in each folder yet so I cannot comment on that. But I do feel this was a good buy.

Serves its purpose. Would. It be using it for a place of business. Had to fix the top rack 2 days into using it files were falling off

The handles are too low on the drawers and once loaded, the drawers are difficult to open. When the it carton arrived, it was dirty as if it had sat for a long periods of time in the warehouse. Once opened, the cabinet itself was FILTHY from the slit in the box!!

Cheap and light. This is for your little kid and not a professional adult for an office environment.

The drawers glide out easily, but not all the way. I was hoping it would slide out all the way. I asked for a refund, but I would have to pay too much to ship it back and I think it was a restocking fee as well. It wasn't worth sending back, so I just kept it. It isn't made extremely well either. It is made cheaply and can tip over since the drawers don't pull all the way out. It is difficult to get to your files in the back of the drawer. I'd buy something else next time I need one.

The cabinets arrived well protected and on time. It is fine, if you just need storage of lightweight items and not concerned about someone breaking into the cabinet.The price was great, but we found the product is not very strong. It can be locked, but you can twist the thin metal and the latch comes loose. Not many people would try to unlatch, but we are in a work area and it was not as strong as I had wished. My fault, not the vendor

This is a pretty good moderately sized cabinet. The one complaint I have is that the screws to put the handles in place seem too long. I twisted them in as deeply as I could and there still is a lot space left between head of the screw and the base of the handles. The effect is that the handles do not fit snuggly against the draw and instead droop out. But the product arrived on time and it was cheap, so it'll do for now.

They will get the job done but they are really just the same thickness /weight as a regular manilla-type folder. They're not going to take well to heavy use.

I liked the folder. The colors are just what I needed for my classroom. The problem is that some of the folders came with missing prongs to hold the folder in the file box. So I couldn't use them.

They are hanging file folders. They hang in a standard file cabinet. They are folders. You can place files in them.

Good file folders. They have different color, so I can use different color for different categories. However, the only problem is that I only got 24 packs.

Does the job, I wish labels were easier to apply on top rather than having to permanently tape them, I wish you could slide them in instead. Material is decent, not really sturdy and folders can withhold some of the weight but not a lot.

Work well but aren't very strong. Tried using for some catalogues and the hanging tabs bent. For regular files and file folders they work well.

Needed adjustments -too rickety

No sliding back to keep files upright. Very cheaply made.

I wish I decided to put a little more money into a filing cabinent. The handles are cheap, and mine are not screwing in quite right. It is very light weight and tips over easy. I think it is worth the extra 20 bucks to get something a little nicer.

I thought this cabinet was going to be more sturdy. I have a lot of school and now job papers I need to keep organized. I just was not impressed.

It's ok - but the handles come detached from the cabinet and the screws supplied don't fit into the handle. I ordered 11 of these and had to send 11 tubes of superglue to help with assembly.

I guess it works, but it is poor quality. I ordered two of these and one of them came dented/damaged. I did not bother to return it because I was able to arrange the damaged cabinet in the corner of the wall )damaged side facing the wall) and it was not very noticeable. Disappointed.

These were bigger than expected and doesn't fit my filing cabinet

While the folders were as expected, I received only 19 plastic tabs to use with the 25 folders. I'm very disappointed--particularly because I ordered a second set before setting up the first.

These folders do not slide smoothly in the cabinet, and the metal bar ends up bending. Very poor product.

They are good quality, but they did not send me enough tabs for the folders. I am missing 7 tabs. If I had all of the parts this would be a 5 star review.

Great files. Love the different colors. I did not get tabs with my order.

These came stacked on top of each other in a box, which is probably typical. However, the shape & weight of them caused them to bend significantly, so when I took them out of the box right when they arrived they were warped. They still won't hang straight in the file box. They're usable, but not as easily as straight ones would be.

Lock broke off within first use.

Worst product ever.....do not buy this??? Drawer got stuck and had to turn it upside down to unlock it...

The filing cabinet arrived with a large dent in the side, as well as a small dent in the top front drawer even though the box it arrived in was undamaged. Drawers do not open and close properly.

The box seemed way too light to contain a metal filing cabinet. I pulled it out of the box and immediately regretted opening it. The metal is SO thin. The lock has to be joke - when you wiggle it the metal around it bends too. I could easily rip it out with my bare hands, and I'm a small lady.The handles came in a brown paper bag with exactly four screws. If you lose one like I did, too bad - you're going to have a dangling handle. They were a pain to put on, because the screw holes were too small.I laughed when I realized the drawers don't even have casters to slide out on - they sit on basically flat metal! The standard size hanging file folders I took out of my old cabinet didn't fit - they were too big by a millimeter - so I had to go buy more. The new ones fit so snugly they don't slide well. They wouldn't even slide well if they did fit, because there is no special track for them to slide on like every other filing cabinet I have ever seen. They just hang on the sides of the cabinet.The drawers don't slide out all the way, so you have to reach back and pull forward the hidden files every time. Also, don't put any files on the top drawer or it will tip over when you open it. I left the top drawer mostly empty and I still don't trust it without a stack of heavy books on top to keep it stable. Don't put anything too heavy on it though, or you'll dent the aluminum foil - oops, I mean metal.This piece of junk fails in every way a filing cabinet can. Cheap, impractical, ugly, and barely functional. If I had to put a price on it, I'd say $15. I feel cheated and angry for paying almost $60. There are no way these positive reviews are from actual customers. There are websites that allow you to purchase positive reviews, and I'd bet another $60 that's what this company has done.

I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. The original price is $140.00. I would have returned this filing cabinet if I paid that much. It's very flimsy and cheaply made...definitely not worth $140.00.

First of all, this item is at Wal-mart for 32.88 and even that is asking too much. I felt as if I was going to pierce thru the paper thin tin fronts while installing the handles. The lock holds on one side but leaves plenty of leeway on the other and that's only if you don't pull the handle thru the drawer with light pressure.... The ails saying of you get what you pay for is true with this item.... Wish I would have learned a $33 dollar lesson instead of the $60 lesson by purchasing from this site and Restockit....filing cabinets should be shopped in person....these positive reviews are FAKE

Most are damaged, hooks are almost all bent, not worth even the cheap price on these.

Not a good product. Folders are way too thin not sturdy enough to hang on the bars

Some of the file folders came damaged and are unusable. I purchase a lot of things that are from AmazonBasics but I am really disappointed with this product.

No tabs. These folders came with out tabs and so have very little use to me. In the description it said they come with tabs.

I purchased these file folders with the idea that I would also use Microsoft Word and Avery file folder labels to print nice legible labels. Wrong. These hanging folders come with clear plastic tabs and paper inserts but are NOT compatible with printable Avery labels. So one write the labels by hand or uses maybe a label maker of some type.

TOTALLY USELESS. Why is Amazon selling these? There were 25 green file folders and 25 plastic holders with paper to write on and slip into the holders, but NO slits in the file folders in which to put the plastic holders. Sheesh!
