I was excited to get this cabinet for my home office, hoping it would provide secure storage for important documents. The sleek black design definitely looks modern and fits well in the space.
Assembly was straightforward - I had it put together in about 30 minutes. The instructions were clear enough, though some of the pre-drilled holes didn't line up perfectly.
The biggest letdown is the flimsiness. The metal feels thinner than expected - I could actually bend some parts back into shape when they arrived slightly warped. The shelves bow noticeably with just moderate weight.
The locking mechanism is practically useless. My 4-year-old nephew opened it effortlessly by just tugging on the handle - no key needed. For supposedly 'secure' storage, this is a major safety fail.
While it serves okay for light storage of office supplies, I wouldn't trust it with anything valuable or heavy. At this price point, I expected much better quality and sturdier construction.
