Hartford Wood Lateral File with Locking Legal/Letter File Drawer Black

This is a beautiful piece of furniture, but I would not buy it again. I purchased it for my office where I need locking file cabinet and selected this one because it had two locking file drawers. About 6 months after it's arrival, one if the drawers would no longer lock. Upon further examination, it appears as if the locking mechanism has just been sheared off on the inside of the drawer. Additionally, the top drawer will not stay closed, and just randomly rolls open.Amazon won't do anything about it because it had to have been returned within 30 days, and they suggested I contact the manufacturer, which I have done both via email through their website and have left voicemail messages, but have not heard back from them. It touts a 5 year manufacturer's warranty, but I've yet to hear back from them, despite attempts to contact them.It's really disappointing, but I wouldn't recommend it. When you pay this much for a file cabinet / piece of furniture, it should last more than a few months.

When the pandemic started, we created a home office for my wife. She picked the Martin Furniture Hartford L-shaped desk. As the year progressed, we added the upright Hartford bookcase. Finally she decided she wanted the filing cabinet. All of these items have been difficult to source this year. None of the Google shopping results looked reputable, so we were thrilled to find this filing cabinet on Amazon. The price was well under what we saw elsewhere and we could get a scheduled Prime delivery for an additional fee. So the ordering process was great. However, delivery was awful. A third party carrier refused to believe me when I told them we have "room of choice" purchased, even after showing them the invoice and receipt because "Amazon deliveries don't include inside placement." Eventually it was put in the room I requested. I get where he was coming from, but when you pay for an additional delivery placement, it needs to be accepted when documentation is presented.The filing cabinet itself is great. It matches the rest of her white and gray-ish Hartford collection items. We had to forcefully remove (read: rip out) the top drawer's filing folder rod hangers because she didn't need two full filing cabinet drawers. The upper one is now just for storage or office items and 3d printing supplies. The cabinet is heavy and sturdy, so we use it as the base for my wife's 3d printer. It doesn't wobble or budge, so that's a win!

Ordered this file cabinet and it came damaged twice. Third one seemed okay until I started using it. Top drawer rubs on bottom drawer on one side and can’t be adjusted. It’s a beautiful piece and I’d hoped to get the matching desk but now almost a year after having it I’m wishing I would have just asked for a refund after the second unit was delivered damaged. This cabinet is not cheap and I’m now stuck with a nice looking but not functional file cabinet.

Purchased the file cabinet in Jan 2020. There were many small dents in face of top drawer, which I ignored initially. When I attached the legs and attempted to pull out the top file drawer, it caught on the side wall. The drawer itself is not sturdy and wobbles when opening. It will not close properly as it catches on the sidewall regardless of trying to see if there were any adjustments that could help. It looks good from across the room, but is not functional. Upon reviewing previous reviews, this seems to be a common issue with the cabinet opening/closing. SAVE YOUR MONEY. DO NOT BUY from this seller!!!

I ordered this additional piece of office furniture to match the desk I previously bought. It is very sturdy with a locking mechanism but the legs which need to be attached had problems. Two of the legs had one of the two screws for each leg that didn't have threads so are held on by only one screw. Hopefully it will hold.

This is a beautiful piece of furniture. The Amazon delivery guys were great! Super nice and polite. The only issue I had was my own fault. After getting the feet put on I tried to stand this up on my own and I ended up breaking one of the feet off. So, always have someone help you stand this filing cabinet upright. Nice and heavy. Drawers glide nice and even. No issues at all other then what I caused myself. I would order again.

Beautiful piece of furniture!!! Solid and heavy!!! My friend purchased this piece and uses it as an end table. I loved it so much I had to have one too. I have it between to high back chairs. Love that it also serves as a file cabinet for important papers. Goes perfectly with my primitive rustic decor 😉

Not much more to say than what's in the title of the review. Delivery was painless and well communicated. We assembled in about 15 minutes.
