File Cabinet
Perfect File Cabinet for my tenant files and then some! Came fully assembled and works like a dream! Bonus on the hanging folder pull out on the top and a pull out to easily look at a file.

5 drawer lateral
This was a replacement for a damaged product. Customer service promised to deliver and place product in the room where the original product was placed. This did not happen and had to pay for the new product to be delivered to the room it needed to be in. Awful.... customer service 0/10

Filing cabinet - huge dent
It’s a great filing cabinet. The downfall is the giant dent in the 2nd drawer. I had to pound out the dent from the drawer.

Do not recommend
Very cheaply built. Dents easy and the drawers to not slide easily. Had to replace the first delivered unit due to severe damage. Got the replacement the next day. They did not take the original back said it would be picked up in a couple d days. Been over a week and Staples still have not picked up the original damaged one.

Awesome customer service
The cabinet itself is awesome. However what I really love and appreciate is that this cabinet came as a replacement to the original I purchased that had a drawer come off it track. They not only replaced the cabinet they allowed me to keep the one I have free of charge. The only thing I wish was that they brought the cabinet inside as it is pretty heavy other than that ...

Horrible cheaply made lock bent delivery annoying
There are STILL grease marks on the side of the item. The lock is BENT and I struggle with locking it took pictures on day it was delivered. Had to reschedule delivery twice. When I did get it to lock it only locks one side and the other side can be opened.

Bait and switch
Overall construction is okay but picture showed a slide out shelf which is not part of this cabinet. Update your photo or lower the price. Buyer beware!

Good buy for the price
Needed a sturdy file cabinet to fit in a particular place this did the job. Drawers are big enough to accommodate letter and legal files. I don't like using hanging files--they constantly catch on one another so wish it had come with drawer supports for the files though.

Good Buy
The filing cabinet was sturdy and the perfect size for our needs. I like the pull out flat piece the best; It is really helpful.

So So
Ordered these cabinets and they seems somewhat unstable and not to mentioned they do not come with the metal piece to hold the files up so now all of our are all over the place.

The drawers seem a little
The drawers seem a little wobbly for the cost of the product. They should feel more solid and slide smoother.

Perfect!
There are exactly what we were looking for AND they had a document tray that I didn't realize it had. Able to pull out the tray and work with a document right there at the file cabinet!

Staples HL8000 Commercial 36 Wide 5-Drawer Lateral File Cabinet
This file cabinet was more than I expected; it held two drawers full of my old files in just one drawer; I was surprised! I am very satisfied with my purchase.
