Quality cabinet, easy to assembleRonI have two cabinets in this series. They are some of the easiest to assemble of any Ikea I have purchased. Very sturdy, stable, and perfect for my needs.
Frustrating Screws, Fantastic FinishTomBought two, knowing it would be a serious IKEA-style project—and it definitely lived up to that. Took my time and got through it.
My only material frustration was the screws: the Phillips slots are too shallow, so the bit never seats right and strips easily, even trying different bits. They also feel a bit soft. Fix that, and the whole build would be so much smoother. The easy fix is throw in a couple extra lousy screws of each type as backup.
In the end, though, I really like the finished pieces—worth the effort. Tom
Horrible instructionsAlanThe cabinet looks nice. Couldn’t put it together because the instructions are HORRIBLE. Impossible to figure out which screw to use. You have to keep flipping through the instructions to make sure you’re not mistakenly going to use the screw that is needed elsewhere. Also, the bottom partition where the drawers are to go doesn’t screw in at the back into the little slot. There is 1/8” of space between the bottom and no amount of pushin and pulling will get it there. The other three screw fit in perfectly. Go figure! Good luck trying to figure out how to install the slides for the drawers. No labeling as to which side in the drawing is the front of the cabinet and which on is the back. I guess the extra ink for the few extra words would have really set IKEA back. Haven’t made it past that point out of frustration. I’m tired of going cross eyed looking at the drawings. How about an instructional video since deciding to not use ANY words in the manual.
Stiudy and Easy to AssembleWilliamI'm very impressed with how easy this was to assemble. You do need some clear space because it is large. It's also very sturdy, seems high quality. Great for storage of various odd items.
Doors won't attach, and I can't use itEmilyI LOVED this item in the show room, but I have spent HOURS and HOURS in the past 4 days just trying to get the doors to "click" on. I'm actually no longer convinced they actually attach. I can't get the drawers in properly either. I have to remove them all the way out from the frame if I want to use them. Takes 10 min to get them back on on the way without being crooked. Honestly , this is tedious and enbormously frustrating. I'm considering just junking it at this point. I am usually excellent at putting these together.
CabinetLeannThis cabinet was well made and attractive….however the door latches were very tricky to install. One needs to line up and click the front of the latch before the back or it will get stuck in place. Ikea was very helpful in getting the replacement latch part that I needed though to complete the project.
Great product RobertLove the quality and function of this piece. Of course the IKEA instructions lack the specificity necessary to assemble it without error.
Great cabinet for the officeGuiEasy to assemble, one person can do it but it's good to have a helping hand for the drawers but you manage solo too. Great little storage unit for a lot pf things, sturdy once put together.
DO NOT BUY if you are looking for a file cabinetLauraEven though when you search on the Ikea website for "file cabinet" this item comes up, and this item clearly resembles a file cabinet and has two file cabinet drawers, it is NOT a file cabinet. Further, it is not true that you can buy additional hardware to retrofit this to be a file cabinet. It takes a long time to assemble as well. It's been a very disappointing experience.
Surprisingly, this is really high quality!PaulaWe bought this cabinet for our entry by the door. Our frequently-used shoes are stored on the shelves and our reusable grocery bags in the lower drawers to grab on our way out. We were both very surprised at how sturdy the build is. It's very solid and well-designed. Be sure to follow the instructions closely when putting it together. I had to redo a few steps myself.
no way to hanging foldersBiaohuaThere are no bars to use hanging folders in the bottom 2 drawers, and there's no way to mode it to do it eaither. IKEA actually fixed this flaw in the smaller IDASEN filing cabinet models they sell, so you can hang a bar on the side so that it fits US size hanging folders but this doesn't seem possible for this larger cabinet. It's the only flaw but it's a MAJOR one imho. I would give it 3.5/5 stars if possible.
Great storage cabinetNadineI bought this along with the Idasen tall locker for my study. They are good heavy duty metal and my partner was able to assemble it for me. He said that the key is to go slow and follow the directions. He uses a sorter tray to keep screws and parts separated
Love the cabinet, but for the price, Ikea could have done better. AnonymousI love the look of this cabinet, but it has some issues.
First off, this cabinet is quite expensive for Ikea. I think this may be because Ikea markets this as office furniture.
For this price, the cabinet should be a heavier gauge of steel. Considering the quality of the hinges and the drawer glides, this is a pretty nice piece of furniture, and the thin metal is really a letdown.
The thin metal, combined with the way this cabinet is assembled, make it really susceptible to racking. This brings me to my biggest gripe- No adjustable feet! The Fabrikor I bought years ago has them, and they are really necessary for a cabinet like this that will go out of square on less-than-perfect floors. In my case, I spent about an hour tweaking the hinges to get everything perfectly aligned. Then I moved the cabinet to its final location and everything was off again.
Assembly is complicated. One tip I will offer- when you get to the step where you insert the legs, make SURE they are full seated.
Awesome cabinetMarjorieI have a cabinet like this but in a different color. I have used it in the business for almost four years and it looks great. I just need to find replacement metal filing rails for it.
Looks cute but need file insertsAnnieLove how this cabinet looks! I got it to replace my junky old filing cabinet. After reading reviews, I was made aware it doesn’t come with file inserts… I decided to buy it anyway thinking it would be easy to find a hanging file insert that fits in the drawers but of course the drawer size is slightly smaller that your standard hanging file insert. Has any one bad luck finding an insert that works for these drawers?!
Otherwise, it is a great piece. Took me about 3 hours to put it together, needed some assistance hanging the doors but it wasn’t too bad really.
Hard to put togetherZachTook me almost 4 hours to pith this together. There are no written instructions just pictures. Nothing is labeled beyond a key in the front of the manual. It looks great and works great the set up is just a lot of work.
Nice cabinet but difficult assemblyBarbaraThis cabinet is difficult to assemble. lots of parts and no numbers on the parts like other Ikea items I have purchased. Love the cabinet but would suggest having Ikea assemble when purchased. Must have patience
Nice and sturdyErnestoNice and sturdy slick surface makes it great for office furniture
Love! Love! Love!AmandaThis cabinet is a perfect addition to my home office. Its the perfect size, and the color is awesome.
Great StorageLeslieWe were looking for metal cabinets we could use in our bedroom. This cabinet was it. Bought two of them; they store blankets and shoes perfectly, while looking great!
