310 Series

This is a reasonably-priced, commercial-grade, very sturdy filing cabinet is manufactured in the USA by HON, a US company based in Iow with a long reputation for quality., It is an excellent choice for home office or small/medium business use. The finish and mechanical details are flawless and the drawers are well supported by ball bearing extension arms. Any one fully-loaded drawer can be opened it's entire length without risk of tipping over.. Although purchased from, and shipped by, a third party vendor, Amazon provided a substantial (>25%) discount off the sales price listed. The vendor provided excellent customer service, shipped the filing cabinet on time, kept me advised of status almost daily, and checked after it was delivered to ensure satisfaction. The unit arrived with minor, cosmetic shipping damage that does not affect features or functionality and is barely noticeable (a dent/scratch ~ 0.0625 in [15 mm] deep and about 1.25 in/317 mm long). See the attached photos. I recommend this product without hesitation.

I ordered three of these 5 drawer file cabinets. They arriived as a tangled mess of mangled steel.......completely destroyed. The drawers didn't even open due to the extent of the damages. Now the price of the same item has increased by $100. each. There is something very wrong with this picture. Once I receive my refund, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

I got the 4 drawer black cabinet and have no complaints. Amazon arranged some local company to deliver it and they called me to arrange a time and a day and wheeled it up to my door, no problem. It came well packed with no dents or scratches. (Disclaimer: when I bought it, it was being shipped and sold by Amazon. I can't vouch for any 3rd parties. When I look right now, Amazon is still selling the 5-drawer but the 2 and 4 are being sold by 3rd parties.) It is heavy but not so much that I couldn't maneuver it into place on my own. It comes with a lock and 2 keys for it, which locks all the doors from a central lock. Individual doors are held shut with a latch, and a thumb button to release it so you can open the door. It has the regular rails for holding folders and an adjustable metal backing that will let you adjust the depth of the drawer if you want. Seems like a good, heavy, solid file cabinet.

First of all, shipping, because it's important: I researched and researched before choosing a seller. I finally chose Bison. They got it here in tact with no dents. The only problem is that I could not get in touch with them to explain how they almost lost a customer. Bison, if you read these reviews, your freight company, SAIA, would not turn down our street. I understand the driver (super nice) can only do what his dispatcher tells him to do but we did not receive curbside delivery as promised! Also, SAIA Freight would not work with us on a time. They backed out of their original time frame agreement and requested "now." It took a while but we rouned up a team to go to the house, with a dolly, get it off an 18 wheeler, wheel it down the road to our home, open, inspect, etc before signing off. So, Bison you got lucky. If I had lived at the end of the street or wasn't able to corral a team at that specific time, we would have had no choice but to cancel our order. Product: for the price, I'm disappointed. Like other reviewers have said, they are thin, flimsy. You do have to "slam" the drawers or close them really hard. The partition inside that slides back and forth...yeah right. That isn't terribly important for my needs though. I bought one about 10 years ago and it was around 100.00 on sale. It was sturdy and the drawers moved like butter. I'm guessing if you want to pay 1k+ you can get one like that.

The quality of the file cabinet is not the same as prior HON file cabinets we had ordered. I neglected to take photos, but arrived with significant dents on one side and on the top drawer. Also, 2 drawer dividers were not in place (and not sure how we'd even put them back). A pain to put back into the box. Tried to do an exchange but was told that was not possible because no more in stock. However, looks like there are more in stock. I was offered a $50 credit to make up for the Amex offer I squandered on this purchase.

If you've had a well-loved filing cabinet from the 1950's or so, you'll never find that kind of sturdy, user friendly quality in today's offerings. But as things go today, this is probably the closest you'll get to that good-ole-American engineering - which, frankly, this isn't. I love rounded handles that don't cut into your hand when you pull the drawer open, but these handles are the typical "newer" ones, made of squared off pieces of metal with edges that are well-smoothed, but still sharp-edged. And the cabinet metal is today's version of sturdy, which means yesterday's version of flimsy. Still, it meets the basic need of a stable filing cabinet. The shipper offered minimal tracking information, meaning nothing accessible about whatever freight service they chose. And Amazon still shows it is in transit, although it actually was delivered a bit earlier than estimated (about three weeks ago)!

The four drawer file cabinet is a good one. Amazon made it easy for delivery and setup. This locking file cabinet is stable and doesn't have any of that flimsy steel. The price is a little more that you can pay for something cheaper but the solid build and lock make it worth the extra cost.

This order has been the most disgusting order ever!!!! I have lost alot of faith in Amazon....First... when I placed order I tried to cancel the order 15 minutes after I placed it and they would not cancel the order...VERY UPSET!! Second...shippng way to long of wait...THEN third.....after I opened it the bottom side was all dented and the top back was dented....what a cheap piece of metal!!! I paid $399.00 for a piece of garbage....very poor quality for the price for this piece of dented metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazon what are you thinking selling this file cabinet for that price!!!Cheapest file cabinet I have ever seen!!!!Now how the heck am I suppose to return this expensive piece of cheap metal. Would not recommend this to ANYONE!!!!!!
