Requena 3-Drawer Mobile File Cabinet with 5 Wheels, Lockable Storage for A4 Metal Filing Cabinets with Keys, MP01 White

Working from home, I've been in need of a small office cabinet/pedestal to declutter my desk and to store some documents. I shortlisted 11 different white coloured stainless steel lockable drawers on Amazon, all similarly sized and wheeled with 3 sets of lockable drawers (including a bottom filing drawer) and a pen tray in the top drawer, ranging in price from £70 to £130. In the end, I decided to buy this particular model, because out of all the other drawers I saw on Amazon, this is the only one where the entire internal colour of the drawers (including the outer sides of the drawers) is white instead of black, which makes it far easier to see and find items inside the drawers, and it looks much better in my opinion than comparable drawers which are white on the outside but black on the inside. It is also one of the cheapest models currently available on Amazon (other models costing almost twice as much for similar if not the same construction and features) and so far has very good reviews, and although I was somewhat sceptical about the relatively low price, I was confident about my purchase decision. I was worried the item would be flimsily packaged and would arrive battered and dented, but quite the opposite in fact! I was pleased to see the item delivered in sturdy packaging - a very thick walled and strong corrugated cardboard box, polystyrene and plastic inserts inside protecting all sides and corners. The packaging materials weigh 3.8kg alone, so no cost scrimped there. The cabinet feels reassuringly weighty (18.4kg unboxed), and appears to be well built and sturdy overall, constructed using thick enough steel to resist bending and denting under normal and proper use. The drawers slide nice and smoothly and quietly in and out on the runners/rails, and there are silicone rubber bumpers inside which prevent the drawers from slamming and clanging shut loudly. The lockable caster wheels feel sturdy, although they are made entirely from hard plastic and don't have a soft rubber surface (which would be better for hard floors). The lock and keys also seem to be robust, though I won't be needing to lock my drawers. Overall, superb value for money, and my expectations have been far exceeded. At first I was going to purchase a different set of similar drawers costing £125, but I'm super glad that I spent a third less on this model instead.

Lovely quality. No assembly required, just wheels. Spacious drawers. The only thing I definitely would have preferred is the suspension files that i bought to go across so the folders were facing me but unfortunately there is only wide enough for them to go sideways. Quality is excellent. Lockable and a little expensive but worth it for quality.

Overall the cabinet is very nice looking, the drawers operate smoothly, and the 2 upper drawers are perfectly sized for storing laptop, stationary, and other bits and pieces. However, I'm not convinced the one I received was brand new and looks like it may have been a return. The outer packaging was impressive, very sturdy and had no visible damage, but once removed, the base of my cabinet has a hefty dent/warp on one side - as if it's rolled over something slightly higher than the clearance of the wheels and caught it. It has no effect on my usage of the cabinet so it's forgotten once it's sitting on the floor. The large bottom file drawer was fairly warped on either side of the drawer (the top of either side bending in towards the centre) and had to be bent back as straight as I could get it so that the drawer operates as smoothly as the upper, smaller drawers. The front edge of the file drawer also has a slight warp at the top but nothing major and it closes fine so I've just left it as it is. Obviously I'd prefer to have received it in perfect condition, but considering the size and weight of the thing the condition is not that bad compared to the hassle of having to return it and hoping another doesn't arrive in worse condition.

These drawers are just what I wanted and at a very good price when compared to similar drawers on offer. They arrived very quickly and are one of the best packed pieces I have ever had - such care and attention to packaging, ensuring the drawers arrive in perfect condition. They came fully assembled except for the wheels, which took about 5 minutes to screw on, including the little wheel for the bottom draw which just clicks in place (running smoothly as well as stopping the drawer tipping when pulled out if anything heavy is inside). The drawers are fully lockable and there is a useful little pen/pencil tray resting across the top drawer. There is also the option of hanging suspension files in the bottom drawer, which helps me file things away tidily. The unit is very sturdy and fits under my desk perfectly, holding everything I need. My desk is now clutter free and I couldn't be happier with these drawers, they are worth every penny!

Had it now for several months under the desk. Didn’t put wheels on to give me an extra shelf between desk and top of drawers. Well made and operates smoothly

It all arrived beautifully and safely packaged . Make sure you take the keys out before you turn the cabinet over to fix the wheels . The front wheel I can’t get all the way back even though I have tried and tried on several occasions , which means I can’t shut the bottom draw properly so it’s all a bit out of sync …. Perhaps it needs a strong male hand to push it back , but as I don’t happen to have one of those it means it just feels a bit flimsy and vulnerable because the bottom drawer won’t shut flush . I can’t seem to remove the wheel now either . Also, none of the file inserts I have fit ! They are all too big. It just about fits the size of a bill but now I need to get all new inserts . 🤪 that will teach me for not making sure the measurements were what I wanted ….

Compact but with enough storage, Perfect for keeping paperwork. Easy to manoeuvre with the wheels. Just the right size

comes completely assembled and is very sturdy metal. Easy to move around and good capacity.
