Well built, but flawed spacing makes intended use impossible without modification.
I bought this chest as part of an office suite, and overall, the construction quality is fine. My problem is with the spacing of the rails which are there to hang your standard hanging file folders from. The placement of these rails is too narrow - in my case, it was less than the width of a standard hanging folder itself, nevermind leaving enough space for the hooks on either side. In effect, these rails were 3/8" too narrow to use with any standard hanging file folders. This was true for both letter size (after moving the rails to that position) and legal size (the default).
I used a Dremel tool to carve out new channels for the rails to move in, and secured them in the proper position. I shouldn't have had to do that, but it wasn't worth sending back, if you have the ability to make it work.
I'm surprised I haven't seen others reference this issue - and I went to the Office supply store with my measuring tape to see if there were any narrower hanging files available (there were not - they are all a standard size). It could be that my drawers were simply drilled incorrectly, but it seems unlikely that there wouldn't be an automated process or a jig for ensuring proper placement.
So, at the end of the day all is well, but I don't like paying this much money for something that I have to modify crudely, in order simply to use for its intended purpose.

Beautiful but Weird Size
I bought this cabinet to go with my Jaxon desk. It is beautiful, sturdy, and well made. However, the internal dimensions are strange if you want to use it with hanging folders to support 8.5 x 11 files. The papers in the hanging file get caught on the top edge of the cabinet when you close it because the drawers are not deep enough.It works better if you just put the folders inside the cabinet without the hanging files. And they are really made for legal size folders, so there is extra wasted space in the back of the cabinet. I found this cabinet holds much less than my old traditional 2 drawer upright filing cabinet because of this weird size. The other issue is with the latching mechanism. I have a hard time getting it to catch; I feel like I am going to break it, so most of the time I just leave the top drawer slightly open. But, it does look good next to my Jaxon desk!

Matched the Jaxon shelves we bought and looks great. BUT, if you have 'overloaded' file folders/hanging files, they will not fit. The metal bar that holds the hanging tabs are too close to the top of the cabinet.

My file cabinet
I absolutely love my new Jaxon file cabinet. It is the matching set to the Jaxon writers desk that I also purchased. They are both well made and have that rustic look that accents the room they were placed in. They are BEAUTIFUL!
