Great Cabinet for My Office
I've been on the hunt for a good 3 drawer cabinet for my home office for almost two years, waiting for the right one that I'd want to keep for life. I needed something not too tall since I prefer a lower desk height, and this one fits perfectly. The drawers open and close smoothly, and even though they’re not super light, you can tell it’s built to last—like a tank! It also came with an organizer and a divider, which are handy for keeping my top drawer neat. I appreciate that the cabinet is wider than the standard file sizes. It makes getting files in and out so much easier compared to narrower options I've tried, which always felt cramped. I didn’t realize how much that mattered until I compared it to a cheaper cabinet I was recently given. One thing to keep in mind is that you can only open one drawer at a time. If the bottom drawer is open, you can’t open the top one. It's not about tipping over; it's just how it’s designed. And a little detail I liked, the key locks all the drawers—not just the top one. The keys are also compact enough to fit on a keychain, which is nice. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase!

I bought two of the Stockpile 3-Drawer Mobile File Cabinets in light grey. These cabinets feel solid and heavy compared to others I've seen, weighing in at 70 pounds. One cabinet showed up early, which was nice, and the second one came the next day. They were packed really well, no scratches or dents at all. Just a heads up, you'll need strong scissors to open the box since it's sturdy cardboard. One cabinet was missing the pencil tray, and I was worried about having to deal with a complicated customer service call. But there was a nice note saying to call if there was a problem, so I did. Colby answered right away and was friendly. He helped me find the pencil tray, which had just gotten stuck behind a drawer. Overall, these cabinets are great and I’m impressed with the customer service. If I see more products from Hawkins Woodshop, I'll check them out. 5 stars!

A fantastic upgrade for my home office.
This cabinet is way better than the plain rectangles you see at the big box stores. It's sturdy and feels well-made! The steel is hefty and the finish is nice, plus the drawers open smoothly without that annoying rattly sound you get with cheaper options. I’m really happy with this as I’m trying to add some style to my home office. It also arrived well packaged!

Great File Cabinet!
This file cabinet looks nice and feels strong. It's the best one I've come across. I plan to get another one. It's a bit heavy, but all you need to do is put on the wheels if you want.

Stylish and solid construction!
This piece is really well made, and the drawers slide open and closed easily. I'm happy with the color I picked. I haven't had any issues with locking or unlocking the drawers. The only hiccup was that the tray got stuck in the back during shipping. I think it would be great if Hawkins Woodshop could tape it down in the top drawer to prevent that. I ended up using some grilling tongs to fish it out, and that worked perfectly! Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase!

Sleek, sturdy file cabinet with excellent customer service!
I got the white and wood version to fit with my white steel and bamboo ergonomic desk for my home office, and I’m really happy with it! It’s mainly made of thick metal, so it feels solid and sturdy. The drawers slide smoothly, and I appreciated the option to switch from leveling feet to wheels; they work well. At first, I thought spending this much on a file cabinet seemed crazy for home use, but once it arrived, I felt it was worth it. This isn't some flimsy option from a big box store; it’s clearly built for commercial use and looks just as modern as in the photos. I have no regrets! I tried the locking mechanism, and while I don't need it at home, it was easy to disable since I was worried about misplacing the keys. The cabinet came well packaged with lots of styrofoam protecting it—safe for shipping. I had a minor issue with my order, but customer support was quick to respond and fix it in under an hour. They were friendly, so I’ll be considering Hawkins Woodshop for future office furniture! 10/10 would recommend.

Great Cabinet for My Office
I've been on the hunt for a solid 3-drawer cabinet for my home office for almost two years. I wanted something that would last a long time and was the right height for my desk. This cabinet is perfect for what I need. The drawers open and close smoothly, and even though they're not light, I love that this piece feels sturdy, like it can handle anything. The cabinet came with both an organizer and a divider for the top drawer, which I've found helpful. I also appreciate that it's a bit wider than other cabinets I've seen—makes it so much easier to get files in and out without fussing around. I never realized how important that was until I compared it to a cheaper one I got. One interesting thing is that you can only open one drawer at a time, which I thought was unique. If the bottom drawer is open, the top one won't budge, thanks to a neat locking mechanism. Oh, and the key locks all the drawers, not just the top one, which is a nice feature. The key also folds up well for my keychain, a detail that I think others would like too.

Sleek, sturdy file cabinet with excellent customer service!
I ordered the white and wood version to match a white steel and bamboo ergonomic desk that I purchased for my home office. This file cabinet did not disappoint! It's made almost entirely of thick metal, which makes it feel like a true, hefty, industrial piece of furniture. The drawers glide perfectly. The cabinet ships with leveling feet attached, which you can unscrew in a minute to attach wheels, instead--and the wheels work great. I originally felt silly spending this much money on a file cabinet for home use, but once it arrived, I really did feel like it was worth the cost. This isn't a flimsy thing you'd get at Office Max; it really is a well-built, well-designed item for commercial use. It looks just as modern in the photos, and I have no regrets! The locking mechanism worked well enough when I tried it, but since I'm using this file cabinet in my home, I didn't really need the lock and didn't want to risk losing the keys. Fortunately, the lock is easy enough to disable; I just removed the plastic pieces mounted to each drawer with a standard Phillips-head screwdriver. The file cabinet arrived packaged extremely well, completely surrounded in styrofoam. Between the thickness of the metal and the thickness of the styrofoam, I can't imagine this thing getting broken in transit. Even if it did, though, I wouldn't worry. I had to contact customer support for a small issue with my order, and they responded and resolved it in under an hour. They were so prompt and pleasant to interact with that I'll definitely consider them for office furniture in the future!10/10 would recommend.

Exceptional Quality
A classy dame who's got bones of steel. I wanted a nice 3 drawer cabinet for my home office for nearly two years, but also wanted to wait until I could afford something that would hold up for the rest of my life. I also wanted a cabinet which wasn't too tall, since I like a lower desk height while sitting. This ticks all my boxes. The drawers feel great to open and close. The motion is smooth, though not necessarily fast or light, since this thing is built like a tank. The drawers came with an organizer and a divider, both of which have been incredibly useful for my top drawer (though they each can go in either small drawer). The cabinet is a bit wider than the required width to fit files into it, which I love. Other more narrow cabinets can be a pain to get files in and out of because they're only *just* wide enough for them to fit in and out, forcing you to insert them at a perfect 90 degree angle. With this drawer there is plenty of extra room on the sides to insert the files from 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 are is that you can only open one drawer at a time. If I have the bottom drawer open, I physically cannot open the top drawer. 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 which effectively locks the other drawers when one is open. Just something I found interesting. Another random thing that wasn't immediately clear to me from the product description is that they key will lock all drawers, not just the top. Speaking of the keys, they can fold up into a pretty small form factor and fit nicely on a keychain. It's a small detail, but I think some people would really appreciate it.
