What should I check when a filing cabinet is delivered?

When your filing cabinet arrives, inspect it before signing off on delivery. Check the exterior for dents, scratches, or damage that occurred during shipping. Open every drawer — they should slide smoothly with no binding or grinding. Verify the lock cylinder works with the provided key. Check that the anti-tip mechanism engages (open multiple drawers at once — the cabinet should resist tipping). Confirm all accessories included in the order are present (keys, drawer label holders, hanging rails if applicable). If there's damage or missing items, note it on the delivery paperwork before signing and contact the retailer immediately.
