5-drawer Metal Filing Cabinet — Drawers Smooth, Top Rust, Lock Not Working

Lot: Tall 5-drawer metal filing cabinet with internal hanging-file rails and metal label holders — all drawers have been checked and open/close smoothly. The cabinet is solid and practical but shows heavy surface wear: notable rust and staining on the top surface, chipped and scratched paint across faces and edges, scuffs and small dents visible in photographs. A top-right lock is fitted but is not working and no key is supplied.

This is an ideal workhorse for a workshop, garage, studio or low-cost office storage where functionality matters more than finish. Keep as a functioning filing unit (all drawers have hanging-file rails), restore with sanding and paint for a refreshed look, or repurpose the sturdy shells for crafts, parts storage or shelving. Useful to tradespeople, makers, small offices or anyone after economical metal storage for folders, tools or supplies.
