Five Star Reviews: | 26% Nice little compact file cabinet September 22, 2017 Nice little compact file cabinet, takes up very little space, but will store quite a bit of information, highly recommend it! This is a good product for the money!!!!!! August 9, 2017 Arrived in 2 days in great condition. All parts present. I am a 71 year old woman and put it together in 2 hours with a few rest periods. I used some suggestions from others reviewers. I dipped all screws in wood glue. Added more nails to the backing and used string method to make sure it was square in the back. It is sturdy and the drawers open and close with no problems. Just put one file in to see how they fit and it works great. May not be an expensive piece of furniture but for the money it's just fine. It came with detailed instructions and was very easy to put together November 26, 2016 Product had to be assembled. It came with detailed instructions and was very easy to put together. Once completed it was perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. Recommend August 15, 2016 Listen, for a $40 file cabinet my expectations weren't exceedingly high, but this little file cabinet is pretty good. There are far better cabinets that exist certainly that will do the same thing this will. It's particle board with a dark wood finishing, but it does what it's supposed to do and is a nice compliment to an office on a budget. Worth the purchase. August 11, 2016 Loving it. Took hubby a few hours to put together, but I'm slowly putting files into the cabinet. Holds them securely and there is no slipping from the railing. So everything stays as it placed. Really good quality for the money, easy to assemble and fast shipping July 14, 2016 Nice for the price. It was fairly simple to put together. I first went to the popular home office supplies places. You couldn't get a file cabinet for 3 times this amount. I was shocked and wasted three hours driving around looking. Hadn't even thought about ordering but happy I did. Good quality, saved money and speedy shipping | 79% Standard file folders, quality seems good! September 4, 2017 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! They seem durable enough and work great in my filing cabinets (paired with a file frame ... June 29, 2017 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! Yes! Great buy! January 15, 2017 I'm getting a lot of use out of these files! They fit in standard filing drawer and can suprisingly hold pretty heavy loads! Great folders. If you understand how to put them together. July 28, 2016 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. in great shape, comes with clear tabs and white inserts ... September 18, 2015 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 | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 17% Handy, easy to assemble not expensive. January 9, 2017 This piece arrived very early. Boxed nicely. Good piece for the price paid. I was missing a few screws found a few that worked in my tool box. One part that is very flimsy is the thin cardboard they give you to put in the back. I went to Home Depot and got piece of plyboard. For 3.60 it holds it better less shaky. I used longer nails not necessary. Not recommended I chipped my piece. But was able to cover it. I think everyone complaining about how cheaply it's made, you should take into consideration the price tag. You want better quality spend more. Good buy, nice cabinet. June 7, 2016 One thing I really hate to do is put things together!! This wasn't to bad! When I was done it looked like the picture! It is sturdy, nice looking, reasonable price, files hung even are easy to get to. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice file cabinet for their office. This cabinet is super easy to assemble April 29, 2016 This cabinet is super easy to assemble. I did so on my own and it took about 40 minutes. It is sturdy if assembled with care. I read previous reviews that stated that the drawers don't necessarily fit as expected... this was not my experience. I use files inside the drawers with tabs--the drawers dont rub the tabs and the tabs dont make it difficult to open or close drawers.I am giving this product 4 stars instead of 5 only because the cabinet appears to be a much lighter color in the photo than what I received. Good Product...Difficult to Put Together March 15, 2016 Once put together, this is a very good product. HOWEVER, you had better know how to read complicated directions and put many pieces together. Fortunately I had a teen around that was good at doing that type of thing. I never would have been able to do it myself. Very simple and somewhat flimsy, however considering the cost ... July 22, 2015 Very simple and somewhat flimsy, however considering the cost and little usage it'll get other than to store files long term, it's worth the price. A lot of parts and pieces. June 19, 2015 It is well built and nice looking, but in a million pieces. LOL We started putting it together today. It says it'seasy. | 13% Hang in there! August 8, 2017 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. Slightly wide for my desk July 5, 2017 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 ... April 11, 2017 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 Decent March 21, 2017 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. An ode may be involved March 2, 2017 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. Folders could be thicker but good buy September 18, 2016 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. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 16% Cheap materials. Consider how long you want it to last. September 23, 2017 The materials arrived well packaged and in good condition. Construction of the file cabinet is pretty straightforward, took approximately 20-30 minutes, and only takes a few simple hand tools (hammer, flat head screwdriver, and Phillips head screwdriver). Halfway through putting this file cabinet together I started getting disappointed in the quality of the materials and how it looked in person. The handles for the two drawers are plastic, and the cabinet itself is made out of cheap, lightweight material to the point that the file cabinet actually leans forward a little when the top drawer is opened. In general, I was disappointed after putting it together. File folders fit inside well, but the sliding rails for file folders are just two plastic pieces that you slide on top of the side of the drawers.If you're looking for a cheap cabinet to put papers in, this will probably get the trick done for you, but personally I wish I had just bought a metal file cabinet. I expect this file cabinet wouldn't last too long if it was getting moved from location to location, as the hardware holding it together would eventually fail.Pros: Price, easy to put together, materials were in good conditionCons: Cheap materials, not stable, poor quality Works, looks okay, drawers are a tiny bit off center. June 19, 2017 It works pretty well and is pretty stable. I have a feeling that the bad reviews on here are from people not following the assembly instructions as they are a bit confusing. ... hunt for a quality file cabinet that won't look like an industrial mistake from the 90's in your home January 23, 2017 Still on the hunt for a quality file cabinet that won't look like an industrial mistake from the 90's in your home? Keep looking.The fit isn't so great, but it does hold files. Don't expect miracles, and you'll be fine.The drawer pulls are pretty flimsy, and we happened to have some old antique pulls from some time ago laying around, so that was a neat little upgrade, but otherwise this is for a low-use environment. Okay September 12, 2016 I would give this a 3 star review. You are getting what you pay for here. Lots of manual assembly from attaching the drawer runners to hammering in a back cover, takes an hour or so for someone who knows what they are doing, if you arent handy good luck. Functions fine and looks nice, other reviews about instability are on point, fill bottom drawer first. You might be better off building your own cabinet actually now that I am thinking about it. I wasn't expecting it to be perfect. It was only 5x dollars March 7, 2016 Pro's - is that is cheap, affordable and exactly as it is described. Assembly was and took about 30 minutes just following the images in the instructions. No complaints here.Con's - It is a bit smaller than I imaged. The down side to this is I have a lot of older records I keep in it which tend to be a bit heavy. So when I open the top or bottom draws it tends to lean forward. This is huge bummer for me because of the whole tilting deal. I wasn't expecting it to be perfect. It was only 5x dollars. However, I only gave it a two stars because of my old service records cause the cabinet to tilt when the draws are opened.Summary - If you are don't have very heavy files to store in this cabinet I feel this will be ideal for your needs. However, looking back now I did not take into consideration the weight of the files I was trying to organize. Just be mindful it is made of MDF and is laminated. Also be mindful if you fill it up with bulky or heavy files it tends to lean forward. I file stuff regularly so I am in and out of this cabinet. So I will have to replace it with a more balance unit in the future sooner rather than later. It received 3 stars because of the leaning. Its alright! November 27, 2013 Really not impressed with the filing cabinet. Every time I have to reopen the drawers everything pushes to the back making it hard to bring it back forwards. | 4% Named "Basic" for a reason. September 18, 2017 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. Good but... August 22, 2017 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. As described, fulfill basic filing requirements August 10, 2017 They are hanging file folders. They hang in a standard file cabinet. They are folders. You can place files in them. Good! August 3, 2017 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. not really sturdy and folders can withhold some of the weight but ... May 12, 2017 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. Good. But not heavy duty. April 23, 2017 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. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 15% Can not recommend this. May 23, 2017 First, know that this comes in a VERY heavy flat pack, with a bunch of pieces. I made a point of reading the assembly instructions very carefully, and I took almost three hours to put this together. At the end, the thing was wonky. The drawers do not sit right in it. I used to work in electronics as an assembler, and I was very good with tools and manual dexterity. I made this for my 82-year-old mother. We are disappointed in the outcome. I can recommend that you buy something a bit more expensive, and make sure it's already assembled. It will be worth it. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and the assembly is pretty simplistic August 28, 2016 I expected a put-it-together-yourself type of cabinet, and that's exactly what this is. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and the assembly is pretty simplistic. However, the drawers seem to be too narrow; the wheels keep coming out of the side tracks causing the top drawer to fall onto the lower drawer. I had to remove the wheel brackets from the drawers and reinstall them with spacers behind them to make the drawer "wider". The cabinet does look nice but this is another example of you get what you pay for. Took forever to assemble/ bad drawers April 1, 2016 I typically actually enjoy assembling things, but this was maddening. Took me 2 hours. And even then, the drawers don't fit right. Maybe it's easy for a trained carpenter, but not your average human. I did nothing wrong, I've recheck a thousand times, but one drawer has a gap on the left and the other has a gap in the right. Maybe the guide holes were incorrect, but it is not symmetrical at all. I just want it for a hidden office file cabinet, so it'll get the job done for me (it isn't falling apart or anything), but beware if you want this out in he open- it looks cheap and is miserable to assemble Easy enough to put together but is so unsteady October 17, 2015 Easy enough to put together but is so unsteady, unsturdy, and feels like if I move it it's going to break. I wouldn't buy this again. Just Barely Worth The Price September 18, 2015 For the price, this cabinet will work, as I just need it for storage of old files. But if I had paid any more for it, I would have returned it. All the holes for assembly are pre-drilled, and after carefully following the directions using their holes and fasteners, the cabinet is together and solid. But the drawers don't fit in properly at all. All along the left edge there is a 1/4 inch gap next to the drawers, but the right side is a bit tight. There is no toe-kick board as shown in the image, it is just open to the bottom board of the cabinet with a wood grain front edge. The top drawer hits the top and right side of the cabinet, and there is no way to align it differently. On the plus side, all the hardware was included and worked well. The drawer fronts are held on with injection molded plastic brackets, and I had to trim the molding flash off of them to fit the screws in. The file rails are extruded plastic channels that just pinch over the top side of the drawers, so I would guess you can't put a lot of weight in the hanging folders before it will bend and break. The wood is a poor quality chip board with a wood-grain vinyl finish. The drawer sides don't match the shade of the wood on the outside of the cabinet, but the drawer fronts do. All in all, I wish I had shopped longer, and maybe bought a more expensive cabinet. Inexpensive...but it will cost you. September 18, 2015 I'm in the same boat as a lot of the other folks who rated this poorly. I'm very proficient at putting together paint by numbers furniture, let's face it, it's not difficult. On a positive note...the instructions are easy enough to understand, it seems sturdy, and assembly was less than an hour. Sadly, both drawers rub a little and don't 'glide' like they are supposed to. Some of the larger pieces don't fit together squarely giving you a piece of furniture with uneven corners, awkward gaps, and looks as though it was assembled by a Toddler. I'm convinced the picture in the company's ad was photoshopped. Fortunately for me this was always planned to be kept in a closet so it's obvious cosmetic flaws won't be such a burden but that doesn't make this piece any less a disappointment. Had this been a piece I'd planned for public display it would have been sent back or replaced immediately. If you're looking for something on the cheaper side just to "get you through" then perhaps buy it and keep your expectations low. In hindsight I would have just spent an extra $50 and got a really nice piece that would have looked better, functioned properly, and presumably last much longer. | 1% While the folders were as expected, I received only ... June 19, 2017 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. Very poor product. April 2, 2017 These folders do not slide smoothly in the cabinet, and the metal bar ends up bending. Very poor product. Missing Pieces March 29, 2017 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. but not as easily as straight ones would be September 22, 2016 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. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 26% Don't buy!!!!!!!!!!!!! May 5, 2017 Whoever build this and placed the holes where you put the screws should be fired!!! I followed the direction to the T and when done it looked like something out of Alice and wonderland. It looked lopsided when I put the draws in. I made it look better bye making my own new holes and adjusted the brackets and it looks ok but still small gap in the draw. It would be a pain in my ass to take it apart and send it back so I feel stuck with what I got but don't buy this. I'll be getting a different one down the road for sure. Not Acceptable April 3, 2017 Do yourself a favor and spend the $20 extra to get a half decent cabinet. I was aware the Material would be cheap but the pieces didn't fit properly at all. The drawers hardly go in at all and require a lot of force to wedge them into place. I spent the better part of 2 years building cheap furniture like this and I'm confident it wasn't user error while assembling. The whole thing is crooked and I won't be using it for what I originally intended. It's a terrible product and worst of all August 4, 2016 I would give this zero stars if it was possible. It is made of cheap composite wood. My first one I had delivered was broken. So I had to talk to a few people at Amazon to get another one shipped out to me. The second one wasn't broken when I received it but once it was put together the drawers do not line in properly to the structure. It's a terrible product and worst of all, Amazon charged me twice for it! and the drawers were still crooked like in the pictures others posted (See image attached) July 20, 2016 I had the same problem as many of the other reviewers. My husband I are were meticulous with how we put it together, and the drawers were still crooked like in the pictures others posted (See image attached). There is a serious flaw with the manufacturing of this product. It is just plain crooked and not functional because the drawers don't push in all the way. I'm super disappointed with this product and even though it was cheap, I still am upset that I wasted money on it. Manufacturer defect June 21, 2016 I am very unhappy with the quality of the product. I understand that it is an inexpensive item and should not be of the utmost quality, but when you can clearly see that there was an alignment problem with their machine when drilling the holes making the whole cabinet crooked, that is unacceptable. I should at least have a straight piece of furniture. Section C and D we're completely drilled in correctly. You Deserve Better July 19, 2015 Don't buy this file cabinet unless you want one with drawers that don't fit squarely. I don't mind a lengthy assembly. The parts are all clearly identified and the instructions were not difficult to understand. But at least with Ikea when you take the time to put something together it looks nice and drawers fit without large, very visible gaps. It's too big to send back without going to a lot of trouble. Better to just not buy it. | 3% Most are damaged, hooks are almost all bent, ... August 29, 2017 Most are damaged, hooks are almost all bent, not worth even the cheap price on these. Filing cabinet folders June 7, 2017 Not a good product. Folders are way too thin not sturdy enough to hang on the bars Very Disappointed April 16, 2017 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! This came with no plastic tabs. I wish to voice my disapointment. November 6, 2016 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. ... Microsoft Word and Avery file folder labels to print nice legible labels November 4, 2016 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. DO NOT BUY THESE. January 25, 2016 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! | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
