First impression? This file cabinet is *sturdy*. The weathered Bing Cherry finish gives my home office instant coastal-farmhouse vibes, though assembly was a love-hate rollercoaster.
The drawers glide like butter on those ball-bearing slides (hello, 50lb capacity!), but installing those slides? Pure chaos. The instructions might as well have been hieroglyphics—thankfully my decade of DIY furniture trauma saved me. Pro tip: YouTube is your real instruction manual here.
Design win: The back panel matches the sides (unlike my old Sauder pieces), and that satisfying *click* when the bottom drawer closes? Chef’s kiss. But heads up—you can’t do two rows of forward-facing files unless you enjoy playing Tetris with your paperwork. An extra inch of width would’ve made this perfect.
After three weeks of remote work abuse, it’s holding up like a champ under my printer + 12 hanging folders. Just wish Bush included assembly videos for the plastic cam locks (grease alert—have wipes ready!). Solid 8/10 if you’ve got patience for puzzle-like assembly.
