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.

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

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!

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.

Large, Came In Great, Room for Tower Underneath, Black Version Looks Better IRL
August 30, 2017
Is as described, looked a little difficult to put together but I got my boyfriend to do it, he finished setup in about 45 minutes. The wood grain actually looks way better in person for the black version, for some reason the picture makes the grain look whiter than it actually is. It has a lot of space, all my cords are concealed behind the panels.
This desk is not for tall people, but I'm 5"3' and I love it. If you're 6ft and higher you may want to get high adjusters for this thing.
If you have a big gaming rig, I would put this underneath the table, if it's a big tower, I'd put it underneath the corner part. There is plenty of room there for however big of a tower you've got.
I might paint over mine because I still don't prefer the fake wood grain, and it is easily scuffed and marked. Or maybe I'll put a charming table cloth on it. There's definitely room and it's good for the price. Definitely have a friend on hand for this desk, it is big and heavy, and a bit hard to move around if you're working in a tight space.
Very nice desk for the money
March 17, 2017
Very nice desk for the money. The joint where the two surface pieces connect isn't level and bows down a few mm. Honestly though, if a super solid surface is important to you, you wouldn't be in the market for a desk made from particle board.

I bought a keyboard tray for mine, I think the brand was Boss or something. I had to make some minor modifications to the desk to fit the tray's depth though. One thing you don't think about when looking at the measurements for a desk is that the depth of the surface of the desk is a few inches bigger than the depth from under the desk. This is because there are large pieces of wood that connect the corner 'leg' to the sides which provide support (same concept as an I beam). So I just had to drop that connecting support piece down about 4" and support the top with a small 4" piece of wood to prevent it from bowing.

I just purchased this desk and received it in pretty good condition considering the amounts of reviews I've read here. I can understand how it could easily get damaged as when I was putting it together it scratched really easily. This desk is perfect for a small room. The instructions were pretty clear. It didn't take longer than 2 hours to build with another person. Overall the desk is nice and sturdy for the price.
Beautiful
January 27, 2017
I love it!
Beautiful, sturdy and very useful desk.
February 25, 2015
This desk is beautiful and sturdy! Ease to assemble. I said ease, not fast.. it took me about an hour, but I did it with my toddler's "help". I used a power screwdriver, and you will need a hammer for some of the assembling.

There were no scratches or anything wrong with the desk at all. Just perfectly packaged. Love the color and finishes. Great deal for the price for sure. Just beautiful. This desk is perfect for small spaces, as you can see on the pictures I provided we share the office space with our dining room. This desk provides lots of working space, without taking up so much space.

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.

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.

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 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.

You get what you paid for - good looking but somewhat flimsy desk
September 13, 2017
The desk is pretty easy to assemble (you only need a Philips screw-driver for it). Took me about 90 minutes and I did it alone. The instruction are mistaken at one point - on page 2 parts 7 need to be screwed so they protrude from the table (see page 5 before screwing these metal connectors).

Pros:
- Price
- Looks good
- Easy to assemble
- Large working space

Cons:
- Sharp edges
- The "wood" pieces are injured/scratched very easily
- The table feels cheap and flimsy
- Not ideal for tall people - even in the wider side (the one with the shelves), the table isn't deep. I'm 6'0 (184 cm) and my knees bump up against the back board occasionally when I try to get closer to the table.
Affordable decent desk
June 2, 2017
Purchased this desk late last year and have been meaning to post my review for some time. Overall the desk is pretty decent and was easy to assemble. Package arrived with some dents and portions of the box ripped but the parts themselves were not damaged.

When starting to assemble and looking over the instructions I noticed that part of the instructions had been changed to correct a printing error. Instructions were easy to follow and was able to have the desk put together in less then an hour working at a very slow pace. Did have one screw that was deformed and required using a hammer to put it in place as the top of it was flat and a screwdriver could not be used.

It is easy to damage the finish of the desk while putting it together or moving it around. I thought I was being careful with it when assembling it but have some small dents and scratches in the finish now. The entire desk is very sturdy and will probably last for a decent amount of time
Good desk, however it is particle board with color sticker/laminate.
September 2, 2016
A couple concerns when purchasing this desk.

-The Hickory color is merely a sticker. Not only is it a sticker but the manufacturer also felt that many times leaving the "sticker" seam on the OUTSIDE visible areas of the desk was a good idea? So yeah.. Needless to say there are a few desk panels where you have this huge seam running down the middle of the panel very noticeably that it's particle board underneath and it's covered with a sticker. Not very appealing. Also because this is just a sticker, make sure you don't leave anything cold on your desk that may create condensation! The sticker WILL bubble and make your table look like crap! I just hope down the road from basic army resting on the desk that any type of sweat doesn't cause the sticker laminate to bubble as well.

-Where the two larger top desk pieces come together is nothing more than 2 metal plates and 4 screws. I would hate to see what would happen if you leaned onto this desk with a little weight when standing up or if someone walked up to it and leaned on it. My assumption the entire thing would collapse. Who knows, just make sure you don't start an arm wrestling match on it :D

Other than that, I truly deep down like the desk. It feels quite sturdy, there's LOTS of room for 2 even 3 monitors, as well as a Boom stick for Mic, and anything else I place upon it.
Nice budget desk with plenty of room
February 5, 2016
Very nice desk for the price. Delivery was excellent, Amazon used a freight company called Pilot and they were friendly and professional. They called 30 minutes ahead to let me know that they were close to being here. Once here they brought the box in for me and let me inspect it.

Assembly took roughly 45 minutes. The instructions were very clear and showed exactly where and which direction all included hardware was supposed to be. I was impressed with the directions. Its easy to take for granted clear concise directions with good quality illustrations showing you exactly the orientation of hardware.

To assemble you will need a phillips head screwdriver, a flat head screwdriver, and a small hammer or mallet. None of these tools are included.

Make sure when assembling furniture made of particle board or MDF that you DO NOT use power tools. All fasteners and hardware should be hand tightened. If you follow those tips you won't have any problems at all.

Overall, the desk has a nice finish. It could be better but what can you expect for 89 dollars. I ordered the black finish so any scratches or worn areas over time could easily be covered up with a black sharpie. It has plenty of space for lots of hardware. We have two 24" monitors, a PS4, a
keyboard, and large Razer mousepad with plenty of room to spare.
Simple and inexpensive
May 7, 2015
The product arrived in a great condition and fast (3 business days via UPS). I like the furniture piece overall. Here are the pro's and con's.

Pro's:
-inexpensive
-sturdy
-"L" shape (great for multitasking)
-simple
-easy assembly (clear instructions)
-fast delivery
-useful grommets for cable management

Cons
-desk space is narrower than expected (see pictures for exact dimensions)
-sharp edges

The pro's out-weigh the cons and which explains my high rating. I got this desk in May 2015 and will update my review in a few months.

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

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.

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.

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.

Decent desk
September 10, 2017
Easily chipped, does not feel sturdy, came flawed. The instructions were unclear. many parts were not labeled. Its a decent desk for the price. The space given is alright. plenty of space. plenty of leg space. Great corner desk. The size shelves on the hutch can be customized according to your liking. You can make it to be only two sections if you want! The edges of the desk is sharp. Resting my arms there is like piercing my skin.
It's good but ...
September 9, 2017
Well, I would say it's ok for this price

Pros:
- It's cheap.
- Good size and good material quality.
- The L-Shape is amazing.
- Easy and fun to assemble but the hardest part was when I had to invert it upside down, I did it alone but it was ok.

Cons:
- It took about 10 days to reach me! I didn't expect it to take that long, Also It was "unable to deliver" and the guy in amazon said he will send me a gift card for this inconvenience and I didn't get anything!
- It really has very sharp edges .. really sharp. I was assembling it and one part leaned, I tried to hold it quickly and it was like a knife! Just be careful, but no problems after start using it.

If it can reach me faster than this + If it wasn't that sharp I would give it 5 stars. But anyway it's ok to purchase.
5 stars because the box it came in was all dented and taped terribly. the second reason I don't like it is ...
August 20, 2017
I would give a 2.5 stars because the box it came in was all dented and taped terribly. the second reason I don't like it is because the instructions are not very detailed and I lost a screw and there are no extra parts, so try to not lose any parts when building this. Please do not buy if you don't know how to build a desk. it took me about 1 hour and 30 minutes to build but that was with breaks. my last concern is that there is a huge scratch on one of the sides of the boards and it makes the whole desk look bad.

P.S. its not wood, its that particle wood and it isn't that sturdy. other than that, its an awesome desk
easy installation so that made it wrth it
May 18, 2017
I know, i know, " you get what you pay for," and so i did. Unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily mean i deserved to purchase damaged goods, especially from Amazon! It gets three stars because in theory, if it was a clean product would have been a 4 ('cause its still made out of hig wuality cardboard, actually worried about supporting the weight of my monitor, didnt even want to display my tower up top). Lastly, easy installation so that made it wrth it, but at the end of the day, bottom line, i bought this for my office and i suggest OTHERWISE, because when clients sit across me dur
it will last me long enough until I can afford a better one.
March 29, 2017
Finish of the desk was cracked upon removing from the box. Another piece cracked during assembly. Appears to only be the fake wood finish, not th said board, but not sure at this point. I don't see this being a long lasting desk with heavy use. I use it as a home office desk. For the little bit it's used, it will last me long enough until I can afford a better one.

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.

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.

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.

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

Okay, I'm sitting at my desk but what a piece of crap. If not for taking my time and reading reviews regarding issues it would have been a pile of rubble. I managed but I will also add I had to replace top of desk with original order (Amazon was awesome in that) but second one arrived scratched. Manufacturer promptly sent me another less scratched piece (top) to replace. It will do till I can do better. I DO NOT recommend this product!!!
Parts came with NO holes..have to wait 7-14 business days now.
April 21, 2017
SOOO I was so excited to set up my new desk so I can start my sewing and whatnot...but one of the big parts came WITHOUT holes.. I contated the company and it's 7-14 business days to get the part shipped to me. ugh. guess I will have to be patient because I don't want the hassle of packing it all up again to return it. HOPEFULLY the replacement part will come with holes. I'll try to remember to update the review, once it arrives. :(((
Really poor quality, but looks ok.
April 12, 2017
1) I did not receive instructions with this desk, I had to look them up online. Once I did find them the instructions were very unclear.
2) The wood this is made of is extremely cheap, I am ok with the material being cheaper due to the cost, but this practically disintegrated when moving it. The instructions tell you to build it upside down and when flipping it to the upright position it almost tore itself apart. I have built tons of cheap furniture without any issues, including a few desks and have never had one try to tear itself apart so easily.

There is a positive though, it does look nice.
damaged
March 12, 2017
Box came extremely damaged, ripped off the end. Finally got the desk together after a few days and everything went together ok, except the ends of the desk are peeling off, and bubbling. I am guessing this is where it was ripped from the box, or defective. Too much of a hassle to take apart now and ship back as the box was in bad condition to begin with. Otherwise I would just ship back.
Slow shipping, deep scratches, flimsy material.
December 13, 2016
This was supposed to be delivered in 2 days, and it took 6.

The desk pieces are incredibly thing, which wasn't really a problem until the end of the assembly. 2 long wood screws are to be screwed in from the side legs into a thin horizontal piece that is nearly impossible to line up well. Because the material is so thin, this caused the screw to bulge the piece from the inside out, making a large crack.

Overall the desk seems very flimsy. It took my Fiance and I about an hour to build it, but I have been reluctant to put my 28" Acer Predator monitor on it as it just seems very weak.

The desk came packaged well, but has about 8 very deep scratches on the surface of the desk. I plan to add photos later.

I understand this desk was cheap, but with all of the high scores, I felt maybe we were unlucky or mislead. I've seen several other peoples pictures with dual monitors sitting on the desk, but just one makes me very nervous on it for now. I may try and reinforce the center of the desk as a result.

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.

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!

Garbage.
September 14, 2017
I bought two of these desks for my husband and my home office for Christmas, and they were a pain in the butt to assemble. And this week we decided to repaint the room. We cleared off the desks and went to move them and the second we lifted the first one off of the ground the particle board crumbled where the screws and joints or whatever you call them held it together. Thinking we just lifted it wrong we went to move the second desk by lifting by the legs. The particle board STILL crumbled. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE DESKS. They will just fall apart on you. They are sitting out by my curb now, waiting on trash day.
Cheap Peice of crap
September 2, 2017
This is made of Styrofoam. It has broken in to many prices from normal everyday use. Litterally prices of it are breaking off and cracking. It's so ungodly cheaply made, avoid this.
No bolts. No instructions.
August 30, 2017
No bolts. No instructions. What a waste.
Contacted Amazon and had to order bolts and instructions. A well later got bolts, no instructions. I'll Never buy from this incompetent company again.
Waste of Money.....
July 12, 2017
The wood is very cheap and easy to break. The quantity of the product sucks, the tools don't keep to desk steady. I wouldn't recommend this, and I wouldn't recommend buying any wood from Amazon, even though I love Amazon. I would recommend ordering desk made out of a medal if you want it from Amazon.
Missing pieces! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
June 28, 2017
Total Bullcrap! I eagerly await the arrival of my package and began putting it together as soon as it arrived. Only to find that halfway through the porcess, I wasissing the board labeled "E". "E", you dastardly coward. You hid and ran! All joking aside, this is very unprofessional and obnoxious to make me take all the screws out and box it up to send it back for a replacement! And the replacement won't even arrive until next week! Very disappointed....
