Can you put something slightly heavy on top, like a printer? That should keep it from tipping when opening the drawers.

Hi, Diana. The printer cannot be set this way. This will only occur if the drawer runs out of paper.

I have a printer on top of one of mine. I think it would be fine if there's no chance of it being bumped into.

Yes, I think that would work nicely. However, there are no notches to keep the drawers together as one unit, but I think the foam padding on top will keep the upper drawer from slipping. It really is a great product. My mom just emailed me today asking where I got it because she wants to buy one for her office K-machine.

The previous answer is correct. The drawers don't come all the way out. It would tip over if they did. I needed a small file, so I don't fill it completely, and I'm very pleased with it.

Only if it is the only drawer filled. If there is at least one other drawer full and in the closed position when you open a full top drawer the cabinet won't tip.

Only if you anchor the back down. If you anything in the drawer it will tip forward. After you do that it works great.

There is no definitive answer to this question as it is stated because there are too many variables. The file cabinet will not tip forward unless the closed drawer contains less weight than the open drawer and the open drawer is opened beyond a pivot point where gravitational forces on the open drawer exceed the combined weight of the closed drawer and the weight of the cabinet. I hope this convoluted response is comprehensible enough to answer your question.

Yes, but don't buy this. I keep forgetting to add a review. This is plastic and so lightweight that when you add anything to it, it tips forward every time you open one of the drawers. Spend a little more and get something you can count on. I can't use mine.

No. But its something I am fine with. Sometimes I scoot my chair on wheels, too far forward, and the drawer closes a little; have to pull back out. My problem was leaning to hard on the drawer over the years, broke the plastic screw slots off, where it became annoyingly loose.

The drawers aren't stiff on mine so I'm not sure. Could there be too much weight in them?

You need to make sure all of the drawers are pushed all the way in. The same thing happened to me the first time I tried to lock mine. But like Michael I prefer to leave mine slightly ajar so I can have the top closed and still have access to the tools in the drawers.

It is surprisingly sturdy and balanced, if it is an ink jet it might wobble when it is printing. It wouldn't fall over.I have a 3 year old visitor that uses it as a personal table and she hasn't had any issues with tipping.the base is really solid. I put a round placemat on it and if you put a printer on it, you might want to put one on it too.

being made of metal the cabinet is pretty sturdy.A printer may actually stabilize it better if you have a lot of items in the filing drawermy 2c

I don't believe so. The drawer will keep the lift from coming nearly level with the top of the cabinet.

Yeah, but there are blocks in the back that prevent the drawer from being opened that way or from slipping out.I'm sure with a sturdy pair of pliers you could bend it out of the way

no,it is not capable to lock, also I've tried to hold files in the drawer but they kept falling over, I now have folders for my papers.
