HON The Company 700 Series Lateral File, 2-Drawer, Light Gray

This is a good cabinet as far as they go (not a furniture feature, after all). The correct setup requires that the unit be tilted such that the front is either 1/8" or 1/4" higher than the rear. You need a good socket wrench (one where the ratchet will not become separated from the socket, don't use a cheap one) and a good box level (same advice). And your floor is not level either by the way. The instructions are only adequate and there is no video online that I could find. It took about 90 minutes and accessing the nuts you need to turn on each side of the unit is not easy unless you have really small hands. Expect a trip or two to the hardware store to get it right.

I love this product but just a word of warning: it's dark inside the cabinet, so if you're trying to find something and you don't have great lighting in your room, it can be a challenge. I love that the product is all metal, and that it's easy to clean. I am using this cabinet to hold my art supplies and office supplies. I kind of wished it was a lighter color inside the cabinet portion like it is in the drawer portion. Also I have to be careful because the black paint does come off if you accidentally scratch it.

To be fair I love the cabinet but this is the SECOND TIME it has arrived damaged. The first time UPS sent it back on my behalf it was so bad. A lot of the feedback is similar to mine. This product consistently arrives damaged. I don't understand why this can't be improved upon or if it just can't be improved upon don't sell it.

Hon has always sold a high quality product. We tried two cabinets from another vendor, but had to ship them back. They were poorly made and destroyed during shipping. There was some damage on the packaging but file cabinet was fine. I knew better should have ordered Hon from the start.

I bought this file cabinet to replace one that was broken during a robbery at my house. While it is a HON and the construction feels sturdy, the lock leaves something to be desired. My last HON had a much better lock and I felt more secure with it.

I was concerned about ordering this file cabinet because of other reviews citing shipping damage. Mine arrived well packed on a wooden pallet with no damage at all. The corners were well protected but it would be possible to damage the body of the cabinet if something banged into it in shipping. The cabinet is well built although not quite as sturdy as the Hon cabinets we purchased 20 years ago.

False advertising. This is NOT a Hon filing cabinet. There is no Hon emblem, there is no Hon serial number, paint is flaking off and the sliders are cheap Taiwanese sliders. I put files in the drawers and now it won't even close!

The product is good. Delivery not so good. One of the drawers is dented and delivery person did not follow instructions.
