Bush Home Key West 2 Drawer Lateral File Cabinet in Linen White Oak, Document Storage for Home Office, Accent Chest with Drawers

Todd's wife here, Laurice. LOVE this file! I must admit, it wasn't easy to put together. I had to have someone come do it for me. Luckily I have fantastic cousins who were able to do it easily. Lots of pieces, lots of hardware. Too much for me to handle. But it's really beautiful!

We purchased this file cabinet, L-shaped desk, and writing desk for a small home office. It was great to be able to get matching sets to create a cohesive look in the limited space. All of the pieces are well-made, sturdy, durable, and look really nice. This purchase occurred before I knew I would be starting a new career where I work remotely 95 percent of the time. This furniture withstands daily use of over eight hours and is comfortable to sit at. The L-shaped desk accommodates three large monitors, a small monitor, two laptops, a desk light, a label printer, two keyboards, and two mice, while still leaving room for some paperwork. The filing cabinet is spacious, providing enough space for a large multi-function printer with additional room left over. We are very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone. The writing desk is easy to assemble and can be put together by one person, while the L-shaped desk and filing cabinet are best assembled with two. The instructions for the L-shaped desk were somewhat confusing, requiring careful attention to the details to ensure the pieces face correctly. So, allow yourself plenty of time for the assembly of the L-shaped desk if you decide to purchase it. The assembly directions for the writing desk and filing cabinet are very straightforward and easy to follow.

First of all, this is engineered wood, not solid wood. The bottom of the drawers and the back of the cabinet are particle board. For the price, it is pretty enough, and functional. However, you cannot fit two rows of letter size folders front to back - you can have one front to back, with the others sideways (see video). You can move the center rail to accommodate legal size going front to back, and letter sideways. The actual inside dimensions are 22.5 inches long, 12 inches wide and 9.25 inches deep (inside). The drawer depth is less than the front panel depth. When I close the door, the mechanism that prevents both doors from being opened at the same time clicks, and if I stop pushing the cabinet in at that point, the door is flush with the sides, but sticks out at the top and bottom. You give it one more push and it is where it should be located. I tried showing this in the video, and two photos. The rails are plastic. One thing that concerns me is that the front door is attached to the drawer pieces with a plastic part - see photo of inside drawer corner. My father says plastic can be strong. Time will tell. The drawers do come with one stop for each drawer, to prevent them from coming all the way out. The drawers open easily, and the drawer sliders (rails) are all metal. They are greased, so I got some grease on me during assembly. Had to wash my hands several times to prevent grease from getting on the cabinet while I put on the drawer sliders. One pleasant surprise is that the unit comes with one furniture anchor (see photo with orange bag), that has one zip tie and a butterfly (?) bolt. Because it is engineered wood, one of the side front posts already is damaged. I have contacted the manufacturer for a replacement, which was sent quickly. I didn’t use glue where the dowels are placed (the instructions don’t say to use glue); therefore, I was able to take it apart again and replace the damaged front leg without having to remove the back; but I did have to take out both drawers. You must be very careful not to damage the wood while assembling the cabinet. The assembly instructions were pretty clear, and they have about 3 online YouTube videos to watch assembly of the cam and bolts. I am familiar with using this type of connections, so assembly was pretty straight forward. It lacks advice about keeping the slide rails straight, so I used a square (not included), and there is a little room for error here. If you keep the rails square, the drawers are pretty level when done. I used a level (not included) to get the front drawers into alignment- I only had to adjust the bottom drawer by about 1/8 or less inches on one side. You adjust by unscrewing the plastic part (see photo), moving the front panel slightly, and tightening the screws again. As for the color, I am disappointed. There is a photo of the color of the cabinet, but it’s actually darker than the photo shows. It has a lot of black, and is very dark. It’s not the color I wanted. The color I wanted is a more red- ish color. Overall, it’s nice enough for the price, and I will use it. It leaves me wanting a real all solid wood cabinet, one that is a different color - bright red Cherry and one that is longer, so you can have 2 rows of files front to back. From advice I have seen, people recommend that you do not paint engineered wood, because it can’t be sanded.

I took my husband and I about two hours, but this together. The instructions are really good and it looks really good with my furniture. Seems to be really sturdy.

I’ve always been a “form over function”person, but in my later years, I decided I want things to look pretty as well as function. I have two mismatched file cabinets that I keep in my master bedroom closet because I don’t have a dedicated space for an office. And that was fine, but they looked old and ugly, and I was tired of seeing them, so I went on the Amazon app to look for something more attractive and larger. I’m not gonna lie this was really challenging to put together mostly because there’s no word directions. Just pictures. Probably the most difficult physically challengingpart was getting the drawers installed into the cabinet itself because they are heavy. All the instructions picture two people putting this together; so it really is a two person job if there’s another person available to help you, but that wasn’t the case for me. But I will say that when it was all completed and I had everything moved into the drawers I couldn’t be happier. It works perfectly for me and fits in the same space that my two other cabinets were in. And it is very pretty!

Wonderful file cabinet for the price. The wood and the hardware are all very quality parts. The size was perfect. I bought it to fit in a very specific spot in my walk-in closet under the shelves (I took the lower shelf out to accommodate it..). I needed it narrow enough to fit, but didn't want to lose too much space from my previous lateral file cabinet. It provides more room for files than a typical two drawer vertical cabinet. I bought it in Linen White to match the stark white in the closet. It's beautiful and matches perfectly. The only difficulty I had was adjusting the front face of the drawers to be level, but that is typical of any cabinet with drawers that you assemble yourself. I also found one of the file bars to hang the files on was broken on the end, but the customer service was really easy and helpful and have sent one.

Numerous parts were missing. When we tried calling the manufacturer's toll free number, the phone would ring twice then cut off. We called Amazon when we couldn't contact the seller, the tech said we could only get a partial refund of about $20 and we had to send it back - this is after we had taken all of the packaging materials to the landfill. We were put through to a supervisor, and he said they'd send a new complete package, and we had to pull the missing items from the new complete package so we could finish putting it together, to repack the new package (without the replacement items) and Amazon would pick it up for return. What a pain in the @ss! I'll never buy from this company again!!!!!

Great file cabinet for my office or any room in the house. Install took 1.5 hours. Happy with the piece

This takes some time and patience to set up however worth the work. Solid, sturdy, attractive and I love the drawer feature that prevents both drawers from being open at the same time reducing the risk of the cabinet tipping forward and causing injury.

Je voulais une filière pour mes dossiers mais aussi un meuble qui rendrait hommage à l'architecture particulière de ma maison de ferme de 170 ans. Je suis très satisfaite de cet achat tant par son apparence que par sa fonctionnalité. Je craignais qu'il ne soit un peu fragile selon les commentaires que j'avais lu et effectivement, les fonds de tiroirs sont minces mais c'est une filière alors cela m’indiffère. Le reste est tout à fait honorable. J'ai l'ai assemblé seule, en 2 heures, en suivant le plan à la lettre.

I really like this product. It fits all the files I had and is a nice colour. It is good quality for the price. The only issue I have is that it has a strong off gasing odour that took a long time to dissipate. Would recommend 👍

Love this cabinet!

Serves a purpose, lots of room for files and is a nice piece of furniture. It was easy to put together - my husband did it. It arrived as scheduled.
