Sauder International Lux Lateral File Cabinet, Diamond Ash Finish

I had also purchased the matching L-shaped desk so I may make some of the same comments. I fell in love with the L-shaped desk, but when I saw it had a matching lateral file that was the clincher for me to purchase this set. Although I had just put together some Ikea furniture, I knew this piece was going to be a bit more extensive. Here is what I am going to say. It is going to take some time to put it together. I believe in the end it was approximately 3 hours, but to me it was so worth it! I love this piece and how beautiful and elegant it is. The directions are very thorough and all the screws and bolts are very well labeled. In addition, all the pieces lined up with no problem which made the process even easier. It states you need someone to help you when you put the file into the metal frame. While it took me a bit to get it, I was able to do it on my own. So there is a con to this lateral file. Hanging files in the top drawer that have a label/tab on it hit the drawer itself so it really isn't functional that way which is most likely why you are purchasing a file cabinet. I ended up using my top drawer for storing items and have my hanging files with tabs in the bottom drawer so that works for me as I love the aesthetic of this piece too much. One of things that stood out for me also was the price. It was actually less expensive than the big box retailers and prettier too! Sauder shipped it out fast and the delivery company was lovely to work with also. I am so happy with my purchase from Sauder!

Were using these as nightstands and they are great. Theyre heavy and look nice. Ours arent as vibrant as the picture theres less red in the wood, but they still look nice. They came unassembled- even the drawers so putting them together took hours. Worth it, I suppose.
