I was impressed with how sturdy this file cabinet is. It is not flimsy pressed fiberboard. The drawer slides are excellent. Strong. Drawers open and close smoothly. Assembly was easy. HOWEVER, I used an electric screwdriver for the assembly. Took me a little over an hour. If you were to use the "screwdriver" included with the hardware, I can see that it would take hours. Overall, very pleased with the finished product.
