Frustrating, falls apart,

I bought two of these file cabnets less than a year ago.
My husband put them together without too much difficulty.
There are two different types of drawer slides for the two different
sets of file cabnets (One must have been a newer model than the other).
The one type works alright, the other one doesn't.
After I started putting files into the cabnets, the one structure started
pulling apart, so I would have to take out all of the files and tighten
the little round gadgets they have inside, eventually the heads wore
out to the point that you could no longer tighten them.
The slides on the top drawer of the one cabnet never have worked right, and my most recent disaster was having one of the
slides fall apart completely, with little ball bearings falling all
over the place. I will never buy another piece of Sauder junk...hate it, hate
it, hate it. Did I mention that I hate it?

Be aware that this product is 90% sawdust and glue and that the actual wood is only on the outside. And, it comes with three bags of hardware for assembly. I also suggest that you ship the styrofoam back to the manufacturer. Why do they feel a need to use something that can't be recycled where there are plenty of alternatives. Good luck!

I was immediately disappointed that this product was made from particle board. While the product description indicates that it has a wood laminate finish it does not say that underlying the laminate is particle board. The laminate is pretty obvious and makes the cabinet look cheap. Nevertheless, it was relatively inexpensive and I needed it so I decided to put it together. The instructions were not the best, but I managed to construct it. After it was built I set a ream of paper in the top drawer and while opening and closing this drawer half of the drawer cover simply came off. I can no longer open the top drawer the the front of it is just hanging off. Poorly designed, cheap looking, cheap materials, bad instructions, etc. I also bought a desk from the same seller with very similar results/quality.
