For HEAVY Daily useage it may be a little less than ideal. I would recommend this cabinet to any user that needs good storage at a great price.

Just for personal use at home, I was hoping to get a bargain. However, one of the drawers is slightly wider at the front so the rails don't totally lock into place. I would return it, but I had it delivered and if I could've moved it myself I would have to begin with. Once I get sick of the rail falling in, I'll eventually take some pliers to the unit and bend it into shape.

    Comments about MBI 400S Series Lateral File Cabinet, 30" Wide, 2-Drawer, Black:

    I really like this file cabinet! The drawers glide smoothly, even with a load of 500 boxed checks and 1000 envelopes. The lock is sturdy and secure. Only one drawer at a time is allowed to be opened (the other is locked into place) to prevent it from becoming top heavy and falling over - a nice safety feature! Comes pre-assembled. I highly recommend this cabinet!!

          • Q:

            I understand that there are no file rails for loading your files front to back, but are there rails for hanging the folders at all laterally? and if so, they are for legal size files?

              A:

              The MBI 400S Series Lateral/Storage File Cabinet includes hangrails for side-to-side filing. You may also purchase separately the MBI Front to Back Lateral File Rails, item 736715. The cabinet will accomodate letter or legal size files.

              Answered on 7/30/2012 by Linda from Staples
          • Q:

            Does the file cabinet come with "center rails" so the files will face you when it is opened. I know this means you can only use letter sizes files. Thank you

            1 answer

            • A:

              The cabinet does not come with the rails. If you'd like to convert it to front-to-back filing, you can purchase them separately. Search for MBI Front to Back Lateral File Rails, item #736715. You will need one kit for each drawer.

          • Q:

            The description says it's for moderate use. I would be using it daily but not heavily. Maybe opening it 2-4 times a day. Would it hold up under this type of use? I have seen one person describe it as being cheap metal that warps easily.
