Okay, so I finally got this Bush Furniture Key West file cabinet after weeks of debating. First impression? The weathered bing cherry finish is GORGEOUS—like, Instagram-worthy next to my fiddle leaf fig. Total coastal grandma vibes (in the best way).

Assembly was... an adventure. The instructions might as well have been hieroglyphics. That drawer slide situation? Pure chaos. Had to disassemble/reassemble twice while muttering creative new swear words. Pro tip: Watch YouTube videos BEFORE starting.

BUT once built—WOW. This thing is STURDY. The back isn’t that cheap cardboard nonsense (looking at you, IKEA). The bottom drawer has this satisfying *click* when closing that makes me weirdly happy.

MAJOR DOWNSIDE: You can’t do two rows of forward-facing files unless you enjoy playing Tetris with your paperwork. Why, Bush Furniture, WHY?! An extra inch of width would’ve made this perfect.

Final verdict? 4/5 stars—knocked off one for the assembly rage and file folder limitations. Would still recommend if you want pretty storage that can survive an earthquake.
