This little file cabinet replaces 2 binders full of those plastic pages of business cards. I had a hard time keeping the binders up to date. Keeping all of the cards in alphabetical order meant a huge investment of time every time I got a new card. They would end up in stacks all over my desk waiting to be put into the binders.

The file cabinet makes this easier, because the cards are easy to find, and easily dropped back into their proper filing spot. It's a nice conversation piece, everyone who visits my office comments on it and loves it.

There is no way it holds 800 cards like it claims to. I have about 300 cards in it right now, and any more than about 400 would make it impossible to lean them forward or backward to find the one you want. And forget about the ones in the back of the drawer, if they were that full you wouldn't be able to reach them.

The other problem is not the cabinet's fault - people do not use any sort of standard when it comes to business card size or thickness. This sometimes makes it difficult to flip through easily, because the European extra-wide, extra-thick cards are more prominent than the U.S. cards. Even American cards come in all materials, and sizes.

Draweres are too shallow. Can't get to the back half of cards. Great idea, poor design.

A useful miniature. Even if you decided for any reason not to use it to store your business cards (like I did!), It still offers a nice and elegant place to store your small things in, keeping your desktop tidy without consuming much of its valuable space. It can be a very nice gift for an office mate. The clock shows both time and date, and it works well using a small battery (included). Both drawers open smoothly and have grooves to hold the business cards tags (included). Don't expect a high quality product though. It is made of hard plastic with average quality finish.
