Let me start by saying this file cabinet is STURDY. Like, 'survived-my-toddler-climbing-on-it' sturdy. The weathered Bing Cherry finish gives my home office that perfect coastal-meets-farmhouse vibe I was going for.
The assembly process? Well... let's just say I earned my DIY badge with this one. The instructions might as well have been hieroglyphics when it came to those drawer slides. Picture me at 11 PM with wood glue on my pajamas, muttering 'why won't you just slide properly?!' to a drawer that refused to cooperate.
But here's the magic - once assembled, this baby holds everything. My entire tax documentation from 2012-present? Check. That massive folder of recipes I'll definitely try someday? Fits perfectly. Though fair warning - the hanging files situation is weirdly designed (you can only do front-facing on one side).
The best part? That satisfying CLICK when the bottom drawer closes - like an ASMR trigger for organization addicts. Just don't expect to move it often - at full capacity, this becomes a permanent room fixture (in a good way).
Would I buy it again? Absolutely - but maybe after Bush makes those assembly videos everyone keeps begging for.
