I just bought this with a Legare 48-Inch Straight Desk, Wheat.From the pictures it looked great: matches the desk, is cute, stackable, and I know their desks are very good... promising.Unfortunately, in my excitement I ignored a few of the more lucid, lukewarm reviews of this product, and now I am left agreeing with them.The desk is great, but I would not recommend the cart.What set apart the Legaré desk are two main things: good solid materials, and an excellent design that makes it easy to assemble, functional, and pleasing.The file cart misses the mark.In the case of materials, they are mostly good and solid.The bottom and sides are the same material as the desk.The wheels themselves are also good.The rails for the hanging folder are terrible.They are pieces of a cheap, flimsy sheet metal (I think it's metal) bent into a square U shape.The folders do not slide or sit easily in them because their hooks rest on the rough, sharp, bendable edge.
In the case of design, I was disappointed.The pieces are designed in a similar slot-together fashion, but for some reason, perhaps just because you are making a box this time, it was actually much harder to juggle the pieces, fit them together properly, and snap them in.Overall it was frustrating.The wheel attachments are also very poor.The wheels should snap in, at least lightly, but they do not.The cart just sits on the wheels, and they have very short pins.That means two things:(1) You cannot attach the wheels by flipping the cart over, because they will fall out when you try to flip it back.You have to put it on the ground and fiddle around underneath to stick them up in their holes.Note: You have to do them one side (i.e. two) at a time, or you'll always have at least one falling out as you put another in.(2) If you so much as slightly lift the cart off the floor, the wheels will fall out.Back to #1.Alternatively, leave the wheels off the cart and put it on the floor.
With the wheels off, it's not a terrible cart, once assembled.The only issue is the railings for the hanging folders.The Legaré desk sets itself apart relative to other desks on the market, fitting together very easily rather than needing to be assembled or moved in one piece, and being particularly simple and functional.The Legaré cart also sets itself apart relative to other hanging file holders on the market, being more complicated and more of a headache.I will keep the product because it does work, and is fine, but you really should not spend the money on this.Just get a plastic hanging folder box.It won't match your desk, but it will hold more, work better, be cheaper, and still fit underneath.
Shipped well.
