Waste of time BrigitteI am finally going to give up and remove the locking garbage bc I can’t get the drawers in without one or more locking themselves shut when everything is supposed to be unlocked. There are no helpful instructions, YouTube videos, nothing. I’m super frustrated. 1
Galant Cabinet JudyThe unit itself is great, but you should offer instructions to not put on the lock because once it’s locked, you can’t open it and that’s been a complaint in your reviews. It’s a nightmare!3
GalantLindaIt was hard to put together. The directions should include words along with the pictures. 4
Change the lock system please, no privacy the way it isVictoriaMy #1 reason for getting this was because it locks. Yes the price was overpriced & you lose some inches in the inside depth but I didn't mind all that. Its absolutely stupid that this doesn't have a sliding cover or ability to change the numbers once open so nobody sees your passcode. So if someone walks up to you while it's open they will see your passcode which defeats the whole purpose! I expected it to work like locking luggage or even my combination padlocks where after you open it, you can change the numbers so nobody sees your passcode then be able to lock it at whatever random number its at. Also only 1 drawer is able to be open at a time which I don't really mind I just hate the way the passcode is set up, they should at least put a sliding cover if they're not going to change this OR change it to the normal system where you can change the numbers once opened & be able to lock from there. The way it is currently is ideal if your alone & no one will come up while it's open.3
Excellent set of drawersIrisWasn't sure this was big enough to hold all my things from my old desk but was I surprised. Took some time to put together but well worth it.5
Nice!AliceI'm happy with the product, I got it in white and it looks and works great! Got the Galant two-door lateral file and the Bekant corner desk for my office. Very happy!5
Looks good but…KathyThe product is a nice looking piece. Don’t count on the locking mechanism to function properly.3
Kind of a Rip-OffAnonymousI agree with the other viewer on this. The three inch high drawers are stupid for something like this. I could see the top drawer being that way maybe but to do this on the whole unit limits its usefulness. The quality of the material of construction is less than the Ikea office furniture I bought 10 years ago. (Why they replaced that series is beyond me.) Particle board and a lot of plastic parts. Makes me wonder if this will last 10 years. Disappointing for what you pay for it. Probably about $200 overpriced.1
Over priced, poor construction....Anonymous reviewerI purchased this online but shortly after assembly realized what poor quality this piece is. 1) The base is plastic so forget the ability to drag or slid this on carpet; no lateral rigidity. 2) It has 4 drawers however the sides of each drawer, including the taller bottom drawer is only about 3 tall, which means lots of vertical storage high lost if you want to stake things like paper. Beyond that, with the exception of screws, the rest of the hardware is completely plastic. Some components of the drawer (sides and rear panel which are metal) are supposed to click into place during assembly but they don't and are only held together after you fasten the bottom together. Instructions lead to a lot of guess work with very little verbal descriptions especially when it comes to drawer assy... Once you get it together it makes sense. There is one extra piece I have no clue how it is supposed to be used and no explanation in the directions. The one nice thing to this unit is adjustable large plastic feet. Also the lock, which is a nice addition (not an option) has no instructions in the box; download the instructions for that on the Ikea web site. Had it not been for the plastic base, construction would have rated at least a 3 considering all of the other plastic which kept it no higher than a 3. Works as expected took a huge hit because of the unnecessarily shallow drawers. A good value would have been around the $200 mark, not $450. Assembly took a hit because nothing in any of the three boxes are marked.1
