4. Stockpile 3-Drawer Mobile File Cabinet
This modern matte white powder-coated file cabinet is designed to fit under most tables and desks. The product dimensions are 20"D x 15.75"W x 24"H. The file drawer supports both letter and legal-sized hanging files. The pencil tray and drawer divider are included. The cabinet is a bit wider than the required width to fit files into it, which I love. With this drawer, there is plenty of extra room on the sides to insert the files at an angle. It's something I didn't realize was important to me until comparing it to a cheaper cabinet I was gifted recently. One thing to note is that you can only open one drawer at a time. I physically cannot open the top drawer if the bottom drawer is open. It is not a matter of, "If I open two drawers, it will be too front-heavy and tip over." They managed to create a mechanism that effectively locks the other drawers when one is open. It's just something I found interesting. Another random thing that wasn't immediately clear to me from the product description is that the key will lock all drawers, not just the top.
Pros:
- It is very sturdy.
- All drawers are full-extension ball-bearing slides.
- Frame for letter or legal hanging files built into the drawer sides
- Came extremely well packaged.
- Adequate space for files and most desk supplies.
Cons:
- a little more expensive than some other options.
- locking mechanism feels a little awkward/stiff but hopefully will not be an issue.

I like the fact that this cabinet was extremely well packed in the carton, including plastic corner protectors. The assembly instructions, while grammatically incorrect in parts, are relatively clear and easy to follow.

If you don't need anything fancy, this is a pretty good option. It's a reasonably well-constructed file cabinet with a built-in lock. The only annoying thing about this cabinet is that the lock doesn't lock all three drawers: only the top two are locked. The bottom remains unlocked and accessible. This wasn't a surprise (it's clearly stated in the item description), but it would be nice if all three were locked instead.

- It is cute.
- It is durable.
Cons:
- It is hard to install.

Our mobile cabinet with key lock is made of steel construction for long-lasting durability and bears up to 200 lbs. I had assumed that the file cabinet's bottom drawer would accommodate letter-size hanging file folders front to back like most modern file drawers, but it does not. It will accommodate letter-size hanging folders sideways toward the back of the drawer, but not in the front of the drawer. That is a major disappointment for me. I fixed the problem by putting an "old school" hanging file frame in the drawer to hold my hanging file folders.
Pros:
- The wheels roll smoothly.
- The lock works fine.
Cons:
- The drawers on this don’t close or open easily.
