This simple, solid file box allows easy access to standard hanging file folders and rolls easily out of your way when not in use. You will find that just by completing the assembly, you not only will have gained a practical filing solution, but you will have earned the respect of those around you who wanted to give up half way through. In the end, you will be flattered that the manufacturer had confidence in your ability to assemble this product. The assembly instructions are presented in straightforward, no-nonsense prose, but those who are conversant with basic engineering terms like "flange" will be at a distinct advantage. The supplementary diagrams prove somewhat helpful in places, but should not be taken too literally. A word to the wise: put the casters on last, not first as indicated in the diagram. This will save you untold inconvenience. You will need much elbow grease and probably a hammer to get the frame's component pieces to interlock properly. Try a rubber mallet first, and, whatever might happen, keep a cool head. If you know a very small individual, he or she might have better sized hands than you do for inserting the screws. Be advised that if, while trying to maneuver the tiny screws through three imprecisely aligned holes at a blind angle, you accidentally drop the microscopic nut, the nut will fall inside a nook in the inner part of the frame leg. With experience, you will become better at fishing the nut out of there, and you might enjoy the added challenge. When you finish, you will be able to enjoy a practical, solid, reasonably priced product.

The item arrived promptly and was easy to assemble. The depth of the cart where the file folders hang could be a tad deeper. Some of my file folders hit the bottom of the file "drawer." The cart rolls easily.

While I enjoyed the verbally inventive critique of the writer who found the assembly of this hanging file challenging (quite frankly, it was one of the best written and amusing product reviews I've come upon for anything on Amazon), I followed the directions exactly, and with the provided wrench (albeit called a screwdriver in the directions)and a philips head screwdriver (my own), had a new black mesh hanging file in all of 15 minutes. The directions suggest you put the wheels on last, which makes eminent sense. I can only imagine the havoc that might have been wrought had I put them on first! Long story short, I'm very glad I wasn't dissuaded from purchasing this product. It did help to have my partner hold the ends as I attached the sides.

This item is exactly what I need in my home. It's sturdy, roomy, and easy to roll to wherever I want to use it/stash it. A bit tricky to assemble part of it, but well worth the price!

In retirement, I have taken on several hobbies/activities that involve the use of my computer and organization requires a filing system for paperwork. I knew portable/mobile file folder holders exist and I went on Amazon and up popped the Lorell Mesh Rolling File. The price was very reasonable. I ordered it and, I swear, it arrived on my porch in 2 days. I opened the carton and took out the parts and the sheet of directions and it was very, very simple to construct. Very well designed with panels that fit together perfectly with a solid snap and when the four sides were in place, the lower shelf slipped right into the clips and the four screws were easily screwed into the appropriate holes with a few turns of a screwdriver. I managed to complete the construction on my kitchen counter because I am not very flexible and construction on the floor would have been tough on me. The 4 casters slipped into the tube holes and my rolling file tub was complete!! It works great, looks wonderful and is JUST exactly what I needed. It is an excellent product! Thank you Lorell and thank you Amazon!

Handy Cart
For keeping materials for a current project handy, I find this little cart just perfect. It wheels up to the computer desk, or out of the way. It's well made--especially for the price. PUtting it together is a bit confusing because of the directions, but with a little patience not all that hard.

I received this item yesterday and am very happy with the purchase. I work from a home office and wanted something nicer than the cheap looking plastic versions of a rolling file cart. Here are the reasons I gave it five stars:

- it looks super nice for a home office- it very efficiently fits right under my desk so it doesn't take up floor space in my small office. The assembled height is 27 3/4" and my desk height is 28" so just be aware of height if you are looking to have it fit under your desk.
- it is very solid and sturdy
- it's made from steel/metal and not cheap plastic like other versions you see online
- letter sized files with file holders fit perfectly
- bottom shelf is very strong and could hold things like reams of paper for a printer, if needed
- this item does not wobble in the least - it is super safe and durable
- it has a nice sheen to it - it's not too shiny and not matt - just a nice in between sheen that makes it a nice looking piece of office furniture
- super smooth rolling mechanism for moving the cart around.

I saw that 2 individuals gave this product 2 stars because the holes didn't line up correctly. There was no need for this and there is no need for concern. This product did not deserve 2 stars for this reason. Yes, it is true at first glance the holes to put in the screws with the pieces don't appear to line up if all you are doing is holding up the pieces to assemble, but then you realize that there is a reason for this once you are done. All you need to do is apply some reverse pressure to have the holes line up. The reason for the tight fit I realized after I was done is that is that is what makes this so sturdy once assembled. If the holes weren't a tight fit you'd end up with a wobbly product whose screws would gradually become loose over time and you wouldn't be happy with it if it did this. An example is an office chair - all the holes line up perfectly and easily to assemble, but in time you have to get the allen wrench out and tighten everything up again. Because the fit is so tight with the screws on this item, there is zero chance of these screws coming loose with movement or over time and having your rolling cart accidentally collapse. This item is rock solid once assembled and it's "because" of the tight fit of the pieces. In order to have the holes line up I just applied reverse pressure by putting the opposite side I was working with flat on the floor so that I could apply pressure on the side I was working on - it was simple once you did this. So no need to get out a hammer or bang it up to get it to fit like the 2 star reviewers did - just apply pressure by laying item flat as I mentioned and it will line up. I used a phillips screwdriver to push the screw thru the hole (it then has a nut on opposite side you'd twist onto the screw. Total assembly took about 20 minutes. There were 8 screws. I am going to buy another - this is a fantastic product and I highly recommend it. In my opinion, this item is worth every penny.

Read the review by "SPack" for entertainment and accuracy regarding this product.

I love this file cart. I use it in my classroom and it is working wonderfully. Shopping around does not help with the price. Other sites will show free shipping, but their unit price is nearly double Amazon. Save yourself the time and buy it here.

I was dubious about purchasing a metal cart, I had always used wood or plastic file carts. This one is terrific. Reasonably priced, relatively simple to put together and easily movable. The screws are small, so large hands might be a problem. The only addition I would make is a cover to the top so that you can use it as a side table or for additional desktop space. A choice of colors would be nice, as well. But, all in all, a great purchase!

This is a great product, it has been very useful around the office. It has really helped in keeping me more organized.
