Do filing cabinets arrive pre-assembled or do I need to put them together?

Most commercial steel filing cabinets arrive fully assembled — the main cabinet structure, drawer slides, and lock mechanism are factory-installed. The only setup typically needed: adjusting the hanging file rails to letter or legal width (a 60-second tool-free adjustment), inserting drawer label holders, and adding any accessories. This is very different from flat-pack furniture that requires extensive assembly. Some wood-laminate filing cabinets or certain product styles may require assembling the carcass, but this is the exception rather than the rule for commercial steel. Confirm assembly requirements in the product description before ordering if this matters to you. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 to confirm what arrives assembled.
