is the file drawer pretty sturdy and does it slide easily? Some file drawers don't have glides and get hard to open/close when filled with paper.

I haven't had any problem with the file drawer, but i haven't over filled it yet. The middle drawer bottom kept falling out of it's slot, so I hot glued it. The other drawers seem ok, but are not as deep as the desk itself, so there's some wasted space there. They do come with glides, the inexpensive type.

Yes, the file drawer opens & closes easily. But i dont have mine full of paper.

Yes, this will extend fully. Likewise, the drawer can be removed completely. The drawer glides on two roller tracks mounted on the bottom sides similar to cabinet drawers. Be advised that these are constructed with a wooden "stick" framework over which a stiffened paperboard with a thin textured plastic skin is stapled onto. The aluminum corners and edges are very thin. So these are very lightweight and I would not suggest loading it up with dense files. I think the weight of a fully loaded drawer would topple the unit; especially if these were stacked. All in all these are nice to look at, but I would not trust them to be secure at all.

Yes. The top right drawer is also a file cabinet. For the little time I have had it. I would say it is worth it. Not having to assemble was huge. It is also pretty heavy duty.

The drawers will hold folders of papers laying flat with about an inch or 2 all the way around to spare. It's only about 6" deep. Folders and papers should be no problem. Heavy, hard back books may be too heavy. It's very light weight construction and it wobbles.

Not as easy as I would like, but doable. I simply put the files I don't need to use as often on the bottom tier. In spite of that, it's a good substitute for a full size filing cabinet. It's sturdy, rolls easily and won't break the budget.

The drawers have a lock feature so that you cannot open both at the same time (so as to prevent the cabinet from tipping over from the weight of the contents). As long as you make sure that one drawer is fully closed, the other drawer will slide open easily.

Hi. I have a desk made mostly of particle board. The particle is thicker on top but not real wood. The drawer has worked really well for me. It is sturdy and secure. I would give it a try.

It is plenty study for a small printer. Honestly, I'm not using the casters, so I don't know if they will lock or not. My only problem with the cabinet is that there is nothing to keep the files vertical if the drawer is not full. There is not a divider, a spring bar, a support or anything else that serves to hold the file folders up in use position.

I don't see how you could hang files from side to side with the hardware that is included. I use mine front to back files 2 rows wide per drawer. It holds a lot of file folders and the folder section of the drawer is 15" front to back. If you multiply that X4 (2 rows per drawer X 2 drawers). I would imagine you could put a free standing file rack in the drawer and use it side to side. Either way, this thing is heavy and seems to be a nice piece of furniture. Not the easiest thing I've ever assembled, but really not that bad to assemble either. Hope I was able to provide you with the advice you need to decide. I enjoy mine and use it as a makeshift desk as well. I don't see how you could hang files from side to side with the hardware that is included. I use mine front to back files 2 rows wide per drawer.

The drawers are fabric and are foldable. When unfolded and placed in the slot on the cart there is a piece of cardboard that fits into the bottom if each drawer to sturdy it. File folders would not fit standing up like in a traditional file drawer but it us sturdy enough to hold a stack of paper work/files laying down stacked

The drawers don't have sliders. They have grooves in them that guide them along a track that's built into the cabinet. The drawers do pull out smoothly, but since they don't have sliders extending their range they don't quite pull all the way out. I'd say the drawers pull out about 4/5 of the way.

It's really not that bad - there's a sliding bar across the middle which you can keep the two sides apart - or - I found a cool way to access them is to spread some of the upper files and you can access them through the top. The nice thing about them is that it's not a drawer, so everything is in the open to see. I love it - especially too because it has wheels.

No, the drawers will not hold file folders. The desk itself is much smaller than I thought. I hit my knees all the time and I'm average height.

Yes the drawer opens easy no problems there. It is metal and the weight of the coffee maker has not been a problem. But it does not slide on the counter top... so I put felt stick on tabs on it's rubber feet and it works great.

Yes, the drawer slides open and closed easily when filled with Kcups and a coffee maker on top. You can not slide the whole unit because it has rubber feet. Hope that helps.

No, they do not slide, all the way out. The drawer inside depth is, 17 1/2 in. and when fully extended, only 11 1/2 in. is free access to files. You lose 6 in. of file space per drawer.

No, the drawers are not quite deep enough. The tabs make the file folder too tall.
