After switching to full-time remote work, I decided to ditch my flimsy IKEA setup for this Bush lateral file cabinet. The difference in quality is night and day – thick panels, sturdy construction, and no wonky assembly issues (except for one packing mishap that Bush resolved super fast).

The drawers glide like butter on those full-extension slides – no more wrestling with sticky file cabinets! I love that it handles both letter and legal sizes, plus it doubles as stylish storage in my living room when I’m not using it for tax documents.

Pro tip: The file rails are stubborn – I microwaved the short ones for 25 seconds to make them pliable. Weird hack, but it worked! My only gripe? They should include four file bars instead of two for proper front-to-back organization.

Three hours of assembly later (with power tools and swearing), this beauty holds ALL my chaos. Even survived my cat’s attempt to use it as a launchpad. 9/10 would recommend – just don’t skip the drawer locks unless you enjoy surprise cabinet attacks.
