DEVAISE 3 Drawer Mobile File Cabinet With Lock

Arrived with no damage, despite the outside cardboard box being quite banged and gouged up. The cabinet is extremely well protected, with corner reinforcements and styrofoam all around. Wheels attach in minutes with no problems, with provided wrench and screwdriver. The metal is not flimsy at all, and the paint is flawless. Drawer pulls are full extension and work very smoothly. I have absolutely no negatives. Worth every penny.

I researched for a week to try an find a locking file cabinet for home files and such that was reasonably priced. Seeing the good reviews for this one, and that it was mostly fully assembled, I took a chance. I have to say I was so pleasantly surprised at how amazingly secure it was packed. There wasn’t one scratch or even tiny dent on the thing!

Minimal assembly: The instructions are super simple with graphics. You just literally pull it out of the box and turn it upside down. Put a little weird metal ring (see pics) around the screw end of the wheel, use the wrench that comes in the small bag of parts, and screw the four wheels into the bottom of the filing cabinet. Now me not being particularly savvy with tools and such I had to ask my husband why the ring wasn’t flat but he said it flattens out when you screw it in so don’t try to straighten it beforehand (and then im sure giggled as i walked away)
After the four main wheels are installed, there is a tiny front support wheel that needs to be attached. It just needs two screws and there is a small screwdriver included in the parts kit. You’re now basically done. Just flip it over and load it up!

Cabinet Quality: The quality of this cabinet is perfect for what I need it for, just something for Home. The metal doesn’t feel cheap, but isn’t super duper heavy duty like maybe what you would find in an office. It is so easy to roll around and move out of the way. The drawers roll in and out fairly smoothly and arent clanky or cheap feeling. I love that it came with a pencil/paperclip holder in the top drawer! I bought the multicolor pack of legal size hanging folders on Amazon. They were like $16 or something like that and they fit perfectly for the bottom drawer.

Lock Quality: this is my only ehh about this product. I wanted a cabinet that had a lock just “in case” I wanted to lock something. My opinion is if you have a rolling filing cabinet, someone can just roll that sucker right out the door lock or no lock, am I right? So a lock on something like this is basically just a deterrent for unwanted hands. Because the lock is on the top right side, the left side of the filing cabinet doesn’t feel 100% locked it…it feels like 90% locked because you can kind of pull it out a little bit. Just a little bit, if that make sense. When it IS locked, you cannot pull it open and get into it. But it wouldn’t be super hard to bust open with a screwdriver and some muscle.
So here’s the bottom line: nobody could get into this without a key without you knowing. But they could bust it and open it moderately easily. So for me, the lock is just a cool thing that I may or may not use. And btw it comes with two keys 🙂

All in all i am LOVING this cabinet!!!

I needed to get our homeschool paperwork organized and didn’t want to spend too much money. I found this a few months ago, the reviews were good. This came packaged very well – you can tell that the company prides itself on its products. The only thing we needed to do was put the wheels on. It has a lock to keep items secure – the two drawers on the top glide out easily with no sticking. This is a solid piece of office equipment that I would recommend for both business and personal use.

I rarely write reviews. Probably because I’m rarely impressed by products made in China. This was a pleasant surprise.

First, I’ve never (no really – never) seen a product packaged as well as this. That include products made in the U.S. No bends, dings, scrapes, nothing. The finish is flawless and the design is very well thought out.

All the tools were included – and they actually worked. They included extras of all the fasteners, so if you drop one on the carpet and can’t find it, you don’t need to go to the hardware store.

There was almost no assembly and everything has a solid, quality feel to it. I buy a lot of cabinets, carts, racks, etc. I’ll be looking for this brand again.
