Most Liked Positive Review

Good for home, not sure about work

We bought 2 of these along with matching desk, hutch, and bookcase for our home computer room. It all looks good together. I think these will work fine for our very-light-use purposes but I don't know if they'll have what it takes for the wear and tear of a busy office environment. We may open some of these drawers maybe once a week as opposed to in an office where they might get opened a couple dozen times a day. In that case I'd opt for something constructed tougher. The directions were fairly ok to follow as long as you read the page ahead of time and laid out all the parts ahead of time. A power screwdriver is a must for making this job go much easier, preferably one with a torque setting you can set on about 12 out of 24 so you don't over-torque the screws. If you're over agressive with the screws you can easily pop them right through and out the other side of the wood. Take it easy. Overall, we're happy with the purchase.

This file is good as far as use is concerned, the drawers work smoothly. The piece is not flimsy in construction. The only downside I see is the poor quality veneer finish. I also have the L shaped desk and hutch and the bookshelf. They are all a good weight and durable construction, but the veneer finish is very low quality. I have had these pieces about a month and on the desk where I use my mouse, the finish is already showing wear and tear. Overpriced due to the fact the appearance fades so easily with just average use.

Comments about Bush® Somerset Lateral File, Maple Cross Finish:

My only complaint is the tissue paper thin finish. Definitely made for light use. The unit is exactly what we were looking for and looks good out of the box but I doubt its long term appearence.

Comments about Bush® Somerset Lateral File, Maple Cross Finish:

This is a beautiful and sturdy addition to my home office and it's BIG, holding all of my paper files in one drawer leaving the other wide open for all my overflow of jewel/DVD cases.

It's definitely complicated to put together; wouldn't recommend doing it with assistance from a 4-year old or you're likely to accidentally switch a couple screws like I did.

Only complaint is with the drawer lock mechanism (which prevents you from opening both drawers at once). When I installed it as instructed, it didn't hold tight and turned when I opened the top drawer, resulting in the drawer closing without releasing the lock for the bottom drawer to open. I was able to rectify this by reversing the mechanism and screwing it in differently, but that shouldn't have be necessary.
