I was surprised to see how easy it was to put it together and it only took about 2 min. NO TOOLS.
That is great. Saving time is a must in our business. It might not be attractive, but who cares,...it's inside of a filing cabinet.
Overall, great for the money!

Almost impossible to break off ends
Don't buy this product unless you can bench press 250 pounds. The metal side rails are very very thick, and the scores in them are very shallow. I could not break off the ends...Read complete review
Don't buy this product unless you can bench press 250 pounds. The metal side rails are very very thick, and the scores in them are very shallow. I could not break off the ends myself. In frustration and anger I took it to a friend of mine who can bench press 250 pounds, and he was able to break off the ends with a pair of pliers for me. He did this on a solid work surface with a 90 degree edge. Definitely don't try this on anything that could scratch. Also, the directions do not tell you how much length to consider for the plastic stands on the ends. If you are unfortunate enough to have bought this product, a hammer might work on a solid work surface with a straight edge.
Also, Pendaflex has been bought out by Esselte Corporation. I called their help line to see if there was any other tool or any other way to break off the ends. The help line actually picked up and then hung up immediately, twice on me. This is also concerning to me because I have purchased most of my filing needs with the Pendaflex brand name. Now I will really look at the product closely before I buy it, if it is Pendaflex, and even take it out of the wrapper or box if I have to. Which makes me understand why this frame sold online at a reduced price. No way to actually look at it before you buy.
Run immediately away from this product and evaluate carefully other products with the Pendaflex brand name to make sure they are of the same quality as before the buyout.
