Is this file cabinet heavy duty? How sturdy are the locks? I am trying to determine the quality of this item before I purchase.

This is quite heavy duty and durable. I've had it for several months now and am much happier with it than other less expensive cabinets I have bought in the past. I highly recommend this file cabinet.

I find them sturdy and suitable for me. The locks will keep out curious people.

Not exactly heavy-duty & we don't use the locks. Functional for our purposes, but my husband suggests you spend a little more & get something better.

No way to lock the cabinet, also be very careful when you move it the cabinet has only small staples that holds it together, my wife moved hers about10 feet and it feel apart in her hands.

Probably not ! I would invest in another type of lock for something like that. This is more like a file cabinet type of lock. Probably easy to pick.... Hope that helps

It is plenty study for a small printer. Honestly, I'm not using the casters, so I don't know if they will lock or not. My only problem with the cabinet is that there is nothing to keep the files vertical if the drawer is not full. There is not a divider, a spring bar, a support or anything else that serves to hold the file folders up in use position.

We have had ours for a month now, and it seems to be very durable. We love this piece -- even my picky husband (former homebuilder) said "that's a really nice cabinet; I'm glad we got it."

I would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these. I believe if every shelf was fully loaded with books and someone gave it a good shove from the side, it would collapse sideways, tearing itself apart. You notice that illustrations show it empty or with the fabric drawers. the manufacturer intended it for medium to lightweight storage, not as a bookshelf. It might hold the weight well for a while, then fail when additional stress is added. This unit is made from wood particles pressed together with glue, then covered with a pretty coating. It does not have the strength of solid wood.

Hello, I have the cabinet for 1.5 years and it's holding perfectly. Still no corrosion or any other visible damage. I love it. For me it was a great investment. Is big so measure well. Good luck!

I have a 2 drawer file cabinet half full, and it moves easily. Not sure on weight limit. I will be filling it up soon though.

Hi Dody. This product is made of plastic. If it was to be used on a regular basis it might not be a good buy for you, but other wise it is a very good and nice cabinet. Good luck, Rocky

This is a metal filing cabinet. It's the same sturdy metal from which they make office-quality filing cabinets.

Yes, the file cabinet has a lock with a key. The lock is in the top right corner. When you turn the key to use the lock, it locks all four drawers.

I am using my 2 for a file cabinet and shelf. I believe they will be sturdy enough for your intended use but I have not had the occasion to use them as such.. Nina Quinlan

It is a very stable and well built cabinet - it is made with heavy wood - so I think it should be able to hold that load

It's very durable, it's just like the cabinets in an office....I love that it has wheels and the hardware is good also...for the price you can't get any better
