VASAGLE 3 Drawer File Cabinet with Locks, for A4, Letter Sized Documents

This review is for the 3 large drawer wood file cabinet. It took a long time before I ran across this one. All the others were metal. Very happy with it. All the pieces fit together perfectly, well engineered and super sturdy. But it took a very long time to put together, over 4 hours, not complaining though. I'm 71 with arthritis, and fumble around a bit. There are over 50 very small screws that I would have a difficult time using a drill with. Also 32 - 1 and 7/8ths inch screws with an allen head. Screw driver and allen wrench provided. The wood finish is very nice, the drawers work very smoothly and again super sturdy. I just love it. The only problem I ran across was the rear of the drawers. The pilot holes were not deep enough for the 1- and 7/8ths inch screws to put on the back panel. The last half inch of tightening was very difficult and started to crack and bulge out the side of the drawer. This does not affect the performance of the drawer though.

For the price...very happy with this. It is your basic idea quality screw together wood furniture. With that being said I think it was worth what I paid for it....packaged well, looks good, it went together well, it came with extra screws, in the end the parts lined up and it was as sturdy as expected (more on that in a second). For an office with many many opens and closes a day it would not be good...but for home use it will last a long time. Now...when I put ikea kind of furniture together I always start on a level surface like the dining room hardwood floor (not living room carpet). Put it together like the instructions say...but I always use glue on every single panel that attaches to another and ALWAYS GLUE THE TRACKS!!!. Use thick slow drying glue....put it together quickly, and when assembled and completed leave the assembled furniture on the flat surface and use something to give it a gentle lean/push or twist till you see everything line up perfectly...then let it sit there till your glue drys... With that process and tightening your screws perfectly (the small screws in particle board strip easier than most think)...you will have a nice piece of "OK" furniture. I am happy with this and glad I bought it. remember, build on level ground, DO NOT over tighten screws, use some good thick slow drying glue, gentle push to hold perfect straight till all glue drys....and you have a very solid file cabinet for your home. (And with the little screws you will have extra of..put them in the tracks in the middle...extra support helps)

Absolute trash. I should have read some of the other reviews, and I'd have known better. The build quality is terrible. The material is loose, and flakes off when assembling it. They must have purchased the absolute cheapest MDF they could find, from a supplier who wanted to skimp on the binding agent. The choice of fasteners is a travesty. The fasteners are all made of SUPER soft material, and strip out under the slightest pressure (you know... the type of pressure you need to use when assembling it...) using the tools they provide. Also: The screws are comically short for their task, and the locks would be better off not even being there. It's ASTONISHING that someone thought this was a good design. It *LOOKS* nice from far away, but it's super flimsy and takes FOREVER to assemble. I am a bit out of shape, so it took longer than it probably should have, but after 4 hours I was just completely done with it (not in the literal sense. I just didn't want to keep assembling it). By the end my fingers felt raw from using that awful hex wrench they sent with it. I desperately looked around my house for a bit that size that I could use a screwdriver or drill with, but alas - It's a size I simply don't have. For the price, this is an astonishingly bad waste of money and time. Do NOT BUY THIS! Just go spend the extra like... 12 bucks to get a fully assembled metal cabinet from any of the big box stores near you. I am begging you to not support this company. It's so incredibly bad this review is honestly not even capable of expressing how terrible this thing is. If this thing cost 1/5 as much, I'd still think it was overpriced.

I don’t usually submit lengthy reviews, but I thought I would post this time to give kudos to the manufacturer for responsiveness and to Amazon for prompt replacement and pickup. In late September, I ordered this file cabinet in the wood version. I read the reviews (the 5, 1 and 3 stars) and concluded that there were enough people who were happy with their purchase that I would try it. I knew it was furniture that would require assembly, and because I had assembled furniture in the past, I knew that it would involve patience and a bit of time. I was actually on schedule to have assembled the file cabinet in one evening (a leisurely 3-4 hours) and ran into an issue: the screws (Part #5) and the connectors (part #2) would not work when trying to attached the drawer sides (Parts J & K) to the front of the drawer (Part I) in illustration 11 of the instructions. It seemed like either the connector was too short or the holes in Parts J & K are too high, but in any event, the connector was not long enough for the fasters to reach the top of the connector (see the first picture) At first I thought I simply got a one-off item with a packaging error, so when I called Amazon, they sent a replacement file cabinet. However, when the replacement file cabinet arrived, the issue was the same. I then contacted the manufacturer, and they promptly replied. When I sent them picture showing how the screw was too short and asked what they could do, they immediately offered to replace the screws. See the second picture. The one on the RIGHT is the longer screw that ultimately fit to accomplish the drawer assembly. (As an aside: I am on the east coast and I believe the replacement screws came from somewhere west, close to or in California….it took a week for the product to arrive and I started to wonder if they sent it by Pony Express – like an actual one horse powered pony!!) I write this review in the hopes that I can help others avoid the disappointment of finding you may not have the correct parts, so please check that the screws for the drawers look like the ones on the RIGHT – they need to be longer. Yes, I think it’s a problem that quality control didn't catch the error in the parts, but at the end of the day, you should know that the file cabinet is a decent product and the manufacturer was responsive. Make no mistake, this product is particle board and not solid wood. When I first encountered the problem, I considered returning the file cabinet to find an alternative (thinking: surely this is not the only one I might like), however, I was not impressed with the alternatives (cost or appearance), so I took the long route with the return process. As to the tools, I saw others commenting about cheesy or flimsy tools. I will remind purchasers to keep in mind that you are buying a file cabinet, not a quality set of tools (allen wrench and screwdriver). Power tools and a better screwdriver will help, but the most important tool is your own patience. I also recommend reading the other reviews about the collar that goes around the lock; the screws are short and are not forgiving if they need to be screwed in twice (in other words measure twice and cut/screw once). Another commenter noted that the locks were not as effective as they hoped. Here again, I must remind purchasers to keep in mind that you’re buying a home use FILE CABINET, not an industrial use office file cabinet or a security lock box. If you want security, buy a separate lock box or get a safety deposit box!! These locks will NOT keep out a determined person, child or a roommate. Personally, I think the real purpose for the locks is to prevent the drawers from accidentally sliding open if someone installs them in a house with a slight dip/incline. By the way, DO NOT overlook the safety screws to the wall!! I’m not sure why people might not realize that although it is be more convenient to fill the top drawer with important items, it becomes a serious tipping hazard. This file cabinet weighs approximately 65 lbs and it is easy to think that it’s heavy enough to stand up without falling, but it can become top heavy and tip over really quickly!! I can’t say it any better: if you have small pets or children (or value your feet!) secure this file cabinet to the wall at a stud!!! Last note: Amazon was great about picking up the replacement file cabinet that also had the same screw problem. The only issue I have with Amazon is that it takes a herculean effort to find out how to talk to a person!! Chat bots DO NOT work all of the time because they have a limited script and no ability to reach conclusions! Conclusion: 1 - this is a decent product and seems to be reasonably well made and looks good for a particle board product. 2 - Know what you’re getting into when it comes to assembly; the instructions are illustrations which are easy to follow, and instant gratification DOES NOT work here. 3 - Make your first step an inventory of all parts to make sure you have everything. 4 – from my personal experience, check out the screws and how they are supposed to fit with the drawers. The non fitting parts are the ONLY reason I gave this product a 4 instead of a 5, and even though the manufacturer promptly made it right, I cannot reward mediocrity in quality control with a perfect score.

This is a Great File Cabinet! It holds a lot I especially like the durability and stability . The drawers are ver easy to open and there is also hardware to attach it to the wall for even more stability. There are 3 colors but I chose Black!

Update: The mfr did provide support. I missed the email. They are sending me a new handle. I really do love this cabinet very much. I updated my rating from 1 to 5. It is a really good cabinet. Easy to assemble. Vasagle support is the worst. I've emailed them twice with no response. They have very short phone support hours. I don't recommend this manufacturer. Horrible support!!!! I just need a new handle and can't get any support other than to return it. I'm not willing to disassemble it to return. Instead I'll return the unopened Vasagle products I still have and go with another mfr. It's a shame because this is a nice product. It went together well but if the parts don't work and there is NO support then it's not worth the money.

I bought the 3-drawer filing cabinet in April 2026. I gave this product a 3 because of the inconvenience of missing parts. I waited to open the package for a couple of weeks. When I had time, I opened it and looked at all the parts. Everything was packaged well and nothing was broken. But when I tried to put it together a couple of days later, I noticed I did not have the instructions. I went on line & found them. It seemed easy enough to assembly. The on-line instructions were kinda of easy to follow, it was a video so I was able to back it up & stop it to fully examine the picture. I started putting the cabinet together, but when I put in the first screw with the screw driver that was provided, the tip broke off in the screw. Not a big deal, I have plenty of my own screw drivers. (Luckily the screw was fully inserted and screwed in before the screw driver broke.) Then when I got to where I needed to use the fastners, they were not included in the box. In fact packages 1 thru 4 were missing. I made 3 trips to Home Depot to get the missing fastners and screws that were needed. I finally got the cabinet assembly and it looks good in the space I have.

I purchased the VASAGLE Lateral File Cabinet for my home office, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with my decision! This beautifully designed cabinet not only elevates the aesthetic of my workspace but also provides ample storage for my important documents, keeping everything organized and accessible. The three drawers glide smoothly and are spacious enough to hold all my A4 and letter-size documents without any hassle. The open storage shelves are fantastic for displaying my printer and office supplies, keeping my desk clean and free of clutter. The sturdy construction gives me confidence that it will last for years to come. Overall, the practicality combined with its stylish design makes this file cabinet a standout piece in my office. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their workspace!

Buen producto, fácil de armar pero si un poco tardado . Al final queda muy bonito y se ve resistente

I love it.

El mueble es muy bonito, y resistente, cumple perfectamente su función, el armado es muy claro, pero no no eres experto te llevará unas cuatro horas armarlo, pero vale la pena. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Nice product, my sister put this together over a weekend and it went together beautifully. It works well in our house. Price point was excellent.

Si no hay 2 para ensamblarla, vas a sufrir, pero es bastante bonito y se ve resistente
