I needed something quick and dirty for my new office, so I was going to follow a tried and true college trick: two filing cabinets and a door. So, I was looking for some cheap filing cabinets, two-drawer style. Even really cheap crap was $ 50.00, and that was true crap. About as solid as tinfoil. Then, I saw this:
Also cheap stuff, but surprisingly sturdy, the finish is not going to hold up for very long, but $ 99.00 just blows my mind.
Now I KNOW there are a bezillion shortcuts in this product and it would never be trying to fake anybody out, but if I were to built it the only way I know how, it would be hard to do for under $ 500.00 NOT including my time.
