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

Love the extra compartment on top for small items.

I like the drawer file cabinet. But, I did'nt get a key, How can I get a key Thanks.

This cabinet is sturdy enough to hold important papers and various office supplies. Good value for price.

Arrived as promised and in good condition. Assembling the wheels was a little bit tricky especially when the holes were a little small so I used my electric screwdriver and that worked. That is the only thing that has to be assembled. Other than that, this file cart is so light. Overall I am very happy with this product.

I could not be more pleased. Quality appears to be excellent in that the thickness of the cabinet is superior to that of what I found with comparable prices in the big box stores locally. The small top drawer is an excellent idea and that is the most impressive thing about this cabinet. I have found it to be an addition I can well use for small items and those files I have not completed, before filing. Could not be more pleased with my purchase.

I want to start off by stating that this cabinet is surprisingly very, very sturdy; I'm a small woman and had to carry this up two flights of stairs without being winded! The quality/price ratio is spot on here. The wheels are nice, but it's a filing cabinet that's neatly wedged between two desks, so those aren't too important for my needs. I'd imagine that this wouldn't wheel around at random on hardwood floors, but my office space has thick carpet.Assembly: There's really nothing to it other than knowing how to use a Philips screwdriver and basic reading comprehension. A word of warning, though - once you screw the wheels in, they definitely aren't coming off without a lot of force and a kit. All of the drawers are blocked at the end, so they won't come off if you pull too hard. The handles are hard plastic and seem pretty tough, but time will tell how well they hold up.Lock: This is where things get slightly interesting. The quality of the lock itself is decent, but it leaves a little to be desired since it's wiggly. Unless you're holding some classified items in the lockable drawer, this shouldn't be an issue. We've tested it with two people pulling while another held it steady, and it wouldn't budge. The keys are a bit flimsy, but that's nitpicking at this point.Quality: Like I stated before, this cabinet is very sturdy. I will say that it's a bit wobbly on the sides, so I would be careful of the environment that you put it in. I did place a very, VERY heavy bass amplifier on top of it for a few hours while I rearranged some things, and there wasn't so much as a dent on it - but I WAS careful. The finish on it is like any filing cabinet you'd come across in a generic office.This fits standard filing folders and letterheads, like this one AmazonBasics Hanging File Folders - Letter Size (25 Pack) - Green in case anyone was wondering. I've stuffed the second drawer with documents, receipts, misc accounting items, etc, with the top drawer holding spare office supplies like staples and envelopes, and the bottom holding a boatload of printer paper and ink cartridges.Pictures: I took some pictures of it between two desks, a close up of the handles, one of the lock, how the wheels look against carpet, and the first two drawers. There's about 4.5 inches more drawer than shown (of the one with the files).In conclusion, this filing cabinet is quality enough for those on a budget or don't require a florid filing system. Personally, I believe this will do just fine for a home office or small business. If you have questions about it, I'll try my best to answer, but it's really a no-brainer. At this price, you bet you're getting a bang for your buck.

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

Excellent for the price and works good for my needs. I was so glad I didn't have to put it together. I had a few issues and the company was so gracious and helped me resolve it. I will order again from them.

Good quality. Very functional. Reasonably priced.

I am very happy with the size of this file cabinet. I am also pleased with the weight versus the sturdiness of the unit. I wish the wheel had wheel locks.

A minor problem experienced single file when inserting a single file. If not perfectly straight it will hang up and need to be realigned.

I wanted a simple, cheap cabinet for my home office and this delivered, wonderfully. It holds 1 banker's box worth of files easily. I was able to throw out my portfolio file folder with no worries.Installing the wheels went fine. It might be tricky for some, but if you have descent hand/upper-body strength and employ patience, it's doable.

This file cabinet has worked perfect for our needs in a small office. It is not something we use daily. It is light weight and came all put together (which is always a plus). I gave it 4 out of 5 and not a perfect 5 because the cabinet does have a tendency to tip forward a little when the drawers are both open or the top drawer is opened up all the way. Also, the drawers do not open up all the way so filing all the way to the back of the drawer is difficult.Overall I am happy with the price and quality of the cabinet and I was pleasantly surprised when it came in and had white handles instead of the solid black shown in the picture.

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.

It is what it is for being cheap

It's cheap. Knew that going into it though. It's perfect for what we need, but it's not something I'd buy if you plan on getting into it everyday.

Okay for price. Thin metal dents easily. I still have mine but ready to replace with a grown up version.

It was inexpensive, so I didn't expect much. I pretty much got what I paid for, so that is why I am giving it a good review, but I wish it was better. The lock is pretty much useless, as it only locks the top two drawers, and doesn't lock those very tight. A light pull will open it a good inch even when locked, so don't expect the lock to much more than a deterrent.

i dont know why but i was expecting a bit more from this since it is a metal cabinet. anyone with a can opener could open a side wall up and take whatever information you have stored in it. not the quality of yesterday. but it will do for what i am going to use it for.

I ordered 2 of this item b/c I was looking for file cabinets that locked and had wheels. The shipment arrived as promised and in good condition. However, when I went to put the casters on I realized there were no pre-drilled holes in the cabinet that the casters would screw in to - very disappointed. I have no way to attach the casters in the front and will be returning the cabinets. Otherwise these would have worked perfectly for my needs.

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.

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.

Didn’t bring the keys with it. Should I return it?

Came very badly damaged dents everywhere.

It was Terrible. Arrived in wrong color. I wanted black, it came in silver. It has no wheels & there was no place for wheels.

poorly made, looks cheap, is cheap.

It was a very expensive cabinet, not what I expected at all, every draw is very ugly on the inside... etc

One of the wheels broke the first time I tried to move it. The metal parts used to secure the wheels are very thin and light weight.

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!
