Has anyone removed the latching mechanisms on each drawer? I'm not a fan of them either.
Also, these things are honestly a pain in the *** to put together. The first castor took me a while to figure out how to get it on, so by the time I got to the 4th one, it wasn't too bad. For some odd reason they couldn't make the brackets for the castors fit in the grooves perfect, they are loose, so you have to install the four carriage bolts loosely first and get them all on, then tighten them up.
Then once you have the bottm part complete with the 4 supports, connecting that to the main box part is a pain as well. Ugh.
My C-man box was quite easy to assemble, well, all I had to do to that was put the 4 castors on but that went really quick. They were nowhere near as cumbersome as the HF 5 drawer cart.
I do have the HF (US General) 13 drawer roll away as well, but that came assembled, even the castors.
