Storage & Filing — Expert Answer

What should a good filing cabinet warranty cover?

A quality commercial filing cabinet warranty should cover defects in materials and workmanship for at least 5 years — many commercial-grade brands offer lifetime warranties. The warranty should cover structural components (drawers, frame, slides), the lock mechanism, and the finish against chipping or cracking under normal use. It should not require you to return the product — manufacturer or retailer support for replacement parts on-site is the right standard. Read what 'lifetime' means — some brands define it as the product's commercial life cycle rather than your life. Also confirm warranty transfer (does it cover a new owner if your business is sold?). Brands carried by FindOfficeFurniture.com stand behind their products — call 888-719-4960 to ask about specific warranty terms.
