Costway 5-Drawer Wood Filing Cabinet Mobile Storage Organizer Beside Table w/Wheels Bedroom Home Office Black

Extremely heavy box. Unable to lift without a trolley, and Im not a frail person took two of us over 2 hours to assemble the cabinet- not the clearest instructions, there was a lot of swearing from my partner!! I ordered 2 cabinets so after the first one the second was a lot easier to do based on learning from the mistakes made with the first. Would I order again?.. probably not, - as the time it took to put together was time consuming, however the cabinets are sturdy and useful

Better than I expected

Easy to assemble.It took me 1,5 hours.The holes are perfectly alined, the instructions manual is excelent. All the parts are numbered.An electric screwdriver will make your job easier.The material is super sturdy.Even the drawers not being deep and large, this is exactly what I was looking for. Just to put a few documents and personal items.The drawers were flawlessly aligned.

Great cabinet!

This is a great cabinet, I love the colour and it looks great in my living room. The instructions are easy to understand and it took me about 20 minutes to assemble this cabinet. This cabinet has a lot of storage space and everything fits in it in an organised way. The quality seems to be very good. I am very happy with this cabinet.

Great product, perfect for what I needed!

I needed something for extra storage in my full time camper. This works great for what I needed. However, I wish they would be more clear about the size of the item. Post sized both with and without the wheels. I looked at customer questions and thought I had the right dimensions but it was actually a smidge too tall in reality. I made it work, but it would have been nice to know for sure!

Looks good when built, but came with scuffs due to poor quality wood

When built, this set of draws can look rather modern and stylish, with similarities to the Alex draws from ikea for a cheaper price. Delivery was fast from seller, but arrived with lots of scuffs at the corners due to the poor quality wood. Overall, I feel you can get better quality units for the price point. Its built so cannot return, but overall, I would save your money unless you dont mind paying over the price of what quality wood you receive. I've reached out to the seller and will update review if needed.

Not worth the price and instructions were wrong

The instructions are wrong, one drawer slide was rusty, the screws on the bottom of drawers don’t go all the way in, there was a lot of particle board dust/debris, more than half the slides were not stickered, and it doesn’t roll well. Not worth the price. As for what’s wrong with the instructions, the side pieces were mislabeled right/left. Luckily I noticed after putting only 4 rails on and not all 10. They also showed cam holes that did not exist in the diagram. Further more, they didn’t tell you which holes to use for the drawer slides so I had to put it on and test it out with the first one. And I nearly forgot, the cam locks were the worst I’ve ever seen. They are loose and fall out easily, so you have to be very careful when inserting the cam bolts.

For anyone else building this: You should use the second hole for the drawer slides. And, as stated, put the left slides on the “right” panel and vice versa. The slides are luckily stamped with CL, CR, DL, and DR. The D means drawer and C means cabinet… most of them didn’t have number stickers and they don’t tell you which is which in the instructions so you just have to infer that on your own.

Some details are not sturdy

This cabinet is OK for storing lightweight items, but don't expect it to stand up if heavily loaded. The "engineered wood" mentioned in the description is inexpensive particle board sandwiched between thin vinyl sheets. This creates boards with good tensile strength; the problem is that the fasteners used to fasten the drawer rails are very small wood screws. If you purchase this piece, be VERY careful not to tighten these tiny screws hard. They will easily strip out the holes in the soft chipboard, especially where they screw into the "end grain" of the chipboard. I have little faith that they will hold for long. The bottom of the drawers and the cabinet back panel are 1/16" MDF, not very sturdy. It's worth mentioning that most of these flaws could be overcome by ... MoreThis cabinet is OK for storing lightweight items, but don't expect it to stand up if heavily loaded.

The bottom of the drawers and the cabinet back panel are 1/16" MDF, not very sturdy. It's worth mentioning that most of these flaws could be overcome by using longer screws to fasten the slider rails to the drawers, and specialty particle board screws for the rails which fasten to the sides of the cabinet. It would also be worthwhile to glue the drawer bottoms into the drawers and the cabinet back into the cabinet frame when assembling.

Sturdy, well designed cabinet but you must enjoy DIY

First of all, this is a very good little cabinet made with quality components and very well designed. The reason for the 4 stars is the sheer length of time it takes to put it together.Don't get me wrong, the instructions are excellent, all the parts are marked and the holes align quite well but nothing at all has been pre-assembled. It will take you a day to put this together (longer if you don't have an electric screwdriver). I like the finished article. It's very sturdy. It's very manoeuverable and the drawers open smoothly but I would pay more for one ready assembled or at least part-assembled.

[Rewarded Review] Utility

A great little cabinet with just the right size of drawers for easy underwear organization. The instructions could be a little clearer, but after assembling one, new ones are easier. There were some minor peelings of the white coating, but not in visible places. Could be better packaged. The only thing it does need is a shelf in the non-drawer part. It would be a great place for sweaters.

definitely recommend

This came packaged well, and even included extra hardware, which was a thoughtful touch. Assembly was not hard, but the instructions could be better. It's easy to assemble incorrectly, a process which was aided by not all of the pieces being labeled. Once assembled, it's very solid and sturdy. I assembled it finger-tight on the carpet to avoid scratches, then moved it over to the hard wood floor for final tightening. That way, you can make sure it is level and square before final tightening. Once assembled, it has some heft to it. I ended up not using the included casters, since I didn't have a need to move it once it is in place. I made some risers with my 3D printer and placed it on those. Very solid and won't move. The drawers slide out smoothly since they use ... MoreThis came packaged well, and even included extra hardware, which was a thoughtful touch.

The drawers slide out smoothly since they use metal slides, and not wood. My only complaint is that I wish the drawer bottoms were a little more substantial than what they are. It has not been a problem, since what I have stored in them is not heavy. But heavier objects could buckle the floors a bit. All in all a nice filing cabinet that I could definitely recommend.
