Cathedral 22 x 43.4 x 30.2 cm Metal Home File Foolscap, Grey

Perfect for my needs. Came with 5 folders Inc name tags, holders. Few marks here and there, one side not lined up so I need to push slightly to one side to lock so hopefully this will line up properly. This is probably due to the packaging. The Seller should add bit of bubble wrap which would be perfect and not damage their goods! Hence the loss of one star!!

For the price, I didn't expect a sturdy box to be honest but it's flimsier than I expected and the lock is hit and miss on whether it catches in or not. Takes a couple of attempts and I wouldn't pick up from the handle as dont' have confidence the lid would hold. Okay for storing home paperwork in but certainly not sturdy or high quality but you get what you pay for. Would I buy again - probably not. Would I recommend - again, probably not

This product was never going to have the sturdiness of a fireproof box at £25. However it represents fair value for money. The foolscap suspension files attach straight to formed slats on the inside of the box, no fancy internal frames. The lock and handle feel somewhat flimsy but they are functional. A total of 10 foolscap suspension files are included. You may wish to buy your own reinforced type, but the 25 I purchased were far too many - I think 15 files are probably the max if you are storing substantial amounts. I would compare the storage capacity to approximately 2.5 lever arch files. The blue lacquer helps the box feel slightly more home-centric but I don't think it's going to be very hard wearing.

excellent

I have to say, the reason for writing this review is purely because of my own brilliance. When the beautiful grey box was delivered I jumped with joy at the exciting thought of finally putting my filing away. I eagerly opened the packaging and pulled away the wrapping with glee.I was then met with the Goliath beauty that was THE BOX. My smug feelings on exactly how cool I am rushed over me and I went to open the lid. I grabbed the solid, thief proof and impressively vandal proof lock and lifted,but nothing happened. It wouldn't open. I thought, where is the key? Somebody must be very security minded to lock an empty filing box. I thought the key must have been in the packaging so I sprung to my feet to empty out the box I opened so quickly and alas,no key.It was then that I realised it must be inside the box... This wasn't going to beat me. My day wouldn't be ruined by a spotty youth on the minimum wage trying to mess with my brain, chuckling to himself as he locks them all and sends out to exited customers. To be fair I though, I would do the same, like the time I stole all the SPAM keys off the tins in the local supermarket. Crazy times..I went downstairs to find whatever I could to break into this wretched box. Armed with a small pick axe, a pair of scissors and a burger flipper I was given for Christmas the previous year ( what a f~~~ing terrible present that was ) I ran upstairs to attack. Pulling the incredibly heavy duty lid ( not flimsy at all ) up with said burger flipper and shaking relentlessly until I could hear the tinkle of metal inside. I knew I was onto the jackpot. I got my torch out and looked inside. There they were. Sitting there laughing. Well,not for long. I lunged inside with my all slender pick axe and poked around. Alas, no joy. I just couldnt get enough purchase on it, like a midget trying to open a window, I was beaten. I grabbed the scissors and stabbed around inside again, shaking furiously ( the box, not me) BINGO. There they were. On the floor. Not laughing anymore are you, you little filing cabinet packer!Finally I was in. I had won. Victory was mine. I could now file.
