Let me start by saying this HOOBRO filing cabinet is a classic case of 'you get what you pay for.' After using it daily in my home office for three months, I've developed a love-hate relationship with this rustic brown storage piece.

The assembly was... an experience. While the instructions were clear (thank goodness for those labeled bags!), it took me nearly two hours to put together. Pro tip: keep that wine glass nearby for moral support like one reviewer suggested. The particleboard construction feels adequate, though I wouldn't trust it to hold my entire encyclopedia collection.

Where this cabinet shines is its surprising storage capacity. Those five drawers swallow up my office chaos - pens, notepads, even my small printer fits perfectly on top. The wheels are smooth operators (when unlocked), making it easy to reposition during my frequent office rearrangements.

Now for the quirks: The drawer mechanism is this cabinet's Achilles' heel. Without proper slides, opening them feels like playing Russian roulette with your paperwork. And those tiny wooden pegs? They're basically ninjas - always disappearing when you need them most.

The rustic brown finish looks more expensive than it is, blending nicely with my existing furniture. Just don't look too closely at the alignment - some drawers sit slightly askew no matter how much I adjust them.

Final verdict? If you need affordable storage for light-to-moderate use and have patience for assembly, this could work. Heavy-duty users or perfectionists should probably look elsewhere.
