Three things to note: The glossier wood looks nice, however will require a lot of regular cleaning to maintain that sleek look. (It shows fingerprints/handprints fairly clearly, so do invest in a good cleaner, especially right after assembly!)
Two: This doesn’t feel sturdy or secure as you build it. The type of hardware it uses feels rather questionable until it’s fully assembled. Be prepare to tighten things constantly as you build it. Do pay attention to the instructions when it tells you to not screw certain types of screws too tightly, or you’ll have to do LOTS of back tracking to loosen them. (I learned from experience on a different piece of furniture— not this one.)
Three: The directions are fairly easy to follow, however when you reach the point it requires you to add the edges on top of the filing cabinet (to make it possible for floating files), you essentially have to unscrew two screws to get the piece to fit over the top, and then resecure it. It’s not a big deal, just a tiny bit of back tracking.
Solid 4 out of 5
