Where to start? Well, the bars are very difficult to break and don't "snap easily" as claimed. I gave up and had my 6" 200 lb husband do it and even with thee right tool, even he had difficulty. Because the bars don't snap easily, they leave a ragged edge that is almost impossible to fit into the plastic inserts needed to hold the thing together. Finally, the adjustment marks aren't true to size because they don't take into account the plastic connectors stick put a bit. A waste of time and money.

Says it fits a 14 inch deep drawer. It does not include the connector piece which adds another quarter inch. I managed to cut off the extra and it works. But be warned if you have a short drawer.

It works, it looks easy to set up but not really. LOLMake sure you find pliers, it's impossible to "just break off" a piece of the METAL bar.The dents in them aren't deep enough so it doesn't SNAP off if you bend it back and forth.One of our order was missing a metal bar so we got a replacement delivered the next day.

Product does exactly what it is supposed to: provides a base to stand up files.It was easy to put together, although when carrying the assembled unit to the filing cabinet the 'legs' can pop out. Theres no locking feature but once theyre in the cabinet the weight of the files keeps everything together and I have no worries of this falling apart. I wouldnt use this as a free standing unit as I do think the filing cabinet strengthens the unit. But I dont think these are designed to be free standing and thus do what theyre supposed to.A lot of reviews have had issues cutting the side down to size. My complaint is that the sides dont seem designed to fit in a standard cabinet so you HAVE to cut them down. I cut it down to the second to last not h and they are a perfect fit. It was VERY easy to trim to size: not sure if all the complaints promted the additional piece, but the units come with two pieces of plastic you slip on the end to help snap it off at a notch. All the sides trimmed down quickly and easily. There was a slight bend in the first two pieces I did, but I could use that plastic piece to bend it back with no issue. On the second set I moved the piece closer to the 'snap off point' and that left me with two straight pieces. I cant imagine how you would need bolt cutters or two people to do this; it is honestly a quick and easy task that took about 15 seconds/end.All in all, the price is good, the quality is good, ease of putting together fully acceptable. Id recommend these to anyone who neexs them and wouldnt hesitate to purchase them again.

This file organizer isn’t sturdy at all on its own and needs a box or frame. That said, it fits perfectly into the Drona boxes for Kallax/Expedit shelves which is what I bought it for.

I purchased a set of 2 drawer file frames to convert regular drawers to "file cabinets". These were easy to put together (they come with instructions but everything was self-evident). They went together quite readily. The customizable snap-off bars are not meant to be snapped off with fingers (at least not with my fingers). I used one set of pliers to hold the bar at the area I wanted to break and another set of pliers to bend and break off the excess. Voila! Perfect custom file frame for the drawers. They are sturdy, they hold all my files, and I can't imagine a better solution.

As was the case for a number of other reviewers on here, I purchased these to fit hanging files into a piece of IKEA furniture (in my case, the JONAS drawer unit). Upon arrival, I began to understand what people were talking about when they said that they had had trouble sizing these down, but being home for the day, I was without a hacksaw or any pliers strong enough to cut them down. After ruining one set of rails to experimenting (which was fine since I only needed one anyway), I discovered how to size these using the included tools only. In short, after deciding how many "notches" to trim away (I only needed to cut it down to 17" to fit it into my drawer), put the length of the frame on a sturdy surface with only the portion to be removed hanging over the side. Then, hold BOTH included tools in one hand (i.e. such that they're back to back), and fit the to-be-cut length of frame into tools' opening. Then, while securely holding down the length of frame resting on the table, bend the overhanging piece until it gets to 90 degrees. Then, just bend back in the same way and it should snap off cleanly. Using both tools proved to be key here since using just one of the tools to perform this task will lead to snapped plastic. After you're done, be sure to follow the included instructions regarding which plastic clips to put at the end of the frames (the 8 pieces are NOT all interchangeable), and then just be sure to tap them all the way on with a plastic hammer (or the rubber end of a heavy screwdriver, in my case).All in all, while these frames required some problem solving to use, I can't argue with the quality of the finished product.

I bought an IKEA Expedite bookshelf plus attached desk - I love it. The only problem is that none of the containers that I got for the cubby holes (13h x 13w x14 long/deep) could accept hanging file folders. Every other frame that I could find was much too long. This one is perfect.I had no trouble breaking off the extra length of the side bars. In fact, you should know that you can take a hack saw to this and easily shorten it to any length you want - the 14" minimum specified is only if you want to put it together with no tools. You could put together a 3" long frame if you needed to.By the way, the IKEA box that I use it with is the cheapest they have - the Kasset card-stock box. Fits great.
