Does anyone else find the drawers don't open far enough, particularly the bottom file drawer?

That is true. The drawers don't open far enough. Its dissapointing because otherwise its a nice desk.

We had the same problem. Had to get new higher quality rails and add a shim between the rail and the desk so the drawer would fit properly. I would suggest returning it if you don't want to go to that much trouble.

The top right drawer and bottom lateral file lock together. The two upper left drawers do not lock.

Not really, You can hang the files, but hanging file tabs are too tall to shut the drawer...very disappointing piece of furniture :(

When you're putting the file drawer together, there are two widths options, although it's not wide enough to take legal files.

Should be common sense..close them first. I purposely do that, the top is always closed on mine, but I opened it, pulled the drawers out, closed the top, the pushed the drawers closed, thus I can access the drawers without having to open the top first.

I haven't had any problem with the file drawer, but i haven't over filled it yet. The middle drawer bottom kept falling out of it's slot, so I hot glued it. The other drawers seem ok, but are not as deep as the desk itself, so there's some wasted space there. They do come with glides, the inexpensive type.

The drawers open around 85 to 90%. I've never had any issue stuffing them to its fullest :)

No they don't. The folders themselves are fastened on the bottom, so the folders don't actually open up, which I found to be a disappointment. And if you tear the folder open, which you can, you'll find that the folder is actually quite flimsy, unfortunately.

I have used letter and legal size folders in my file cabinet, however the drawers are not deep enough for a 12 x 12 folder.

The drawers do have bottoms, but if you hope to store items under files, there would not be enough room. If you are just looking for a means to store things, I think there are many more less expensive ways to accomplish this.

I threw both of mine away for the same reason. I think I posted a negative review for the product for that reason. It seems like the drawers are sprung.

Check the anchors maybe? If one was missing, lose, or in the wrong spot then the track may not be level and causing the drawer not to slide properly.

My unit was the same - probably due to the close clearances of the design. I'm planning on using a small dab of petroleum jelly along the runners to see if that helps. In my case, it's a good thing - helps ensure the drawer isn't bumped and comes out accidentally.

No, the drawers will not hold file folders. The desk itself is much smaller than I thought. I hit my knees all the time and I'm average height.

I fit approximately the same amount as my desk drawer file... maybe a bit less. They're deeper than wide so use that to gauge your amount, also depends on how fat your files are...

Hi, I have never had a problem with mine, but on each end there may be a clip that if you put your fingernail under the far end and pull out it will release.Other than that, Other than that, I can only suggest that there is a strong détente that can be overcome by pulling on it with a little more force. It may be that you will have to remove it and inspect the slides and make sure that they are truly free and work back and forth. I think it is possible that if there was a little misalignment when it was installed that it might be hard to slide the drawer back and forth. It may be necessary to fill and redrill a hole or two to correct alignment. Hope this helps you, Kathy. Peace.
