I was pretty disappointed with this product. Once assembled, the "legs" were too short -- my hanging files were dragging on the bottom of the file drawer. I don't think I would buy this product again.

This item was missing some of the attachement brackets. We were able to use one, so we didn't return it. Just really annoying that a company would ship out an incomplete product....not sure if it was the manufacturer or store?

I needed these for a drawer in my desk that didn't have the built in file folder brackets. I received the package and quickly realized that #1 there were missing pieces (all the black connector pieces you see in the picture) and #2 you need a hammer and pliers to mold the metal to your desired shape and size and make the connections. This is not an easy structure to build. I returned the piece the day I received it (and would have regardless of the missing pieces).

I found this to be fairly sturdy and not to hard to assemble. It does need pliers to break off the metal lengths, but they broke off pretty easily as there are pre-marked grooves.

The drawer frame was incorrectly described; it is not legal size compatible. The U-Shaped underside is letter-sized and prevents legal sized hangers from being installed. However, product was easy-to-assemble.

I am so dissappointed, as I may as well just threw the $30 bucks out my car window for the two I purchased at office depot. They weren't hard to put together, and all of the pieces were there. But I used them for legal files and it was soon apparent it wasn't sturdy enough. I put 30 legal file folders on it, and it sways front and back with the legs slipping under and the whole thing caves in. After 4 weeks of being in place, and very little accessing the files the plastic pieces are bending as well as the metal. It might work if you weld it to the inside of your file cabinet, and only use 10 legal files in hanging folders with one piece of paper in each folder.
