Esselte Actionframe Drawer File Frame Letter Size, 2 Pack (AFF24)
Size:2
Two steel file frames make a two-drawer filing cabinet or two desk drawers ready for suspension filing. Letter-size drawer frames are adjustable and easy to assemble.
We needed a frame to fit a drawer closer to 13 inches in length, which was such a hard size to find
and I'm glad I did, my husband was able to cut it down to the right size of 13 inches.
I purchased this particular one because the smaller size is hard to find.
The tool they provided worked well for bending and breaking the rails to the right size.
The included "tool" for re-sizing the frames is a small piece of plastic that is nowhere near strong enough to break the metal bars down to the correct size
You get two sets each of the two U-shaped legs, plastic connectors, adjustable hanging rods, and a plastic "snapping" tool for shortening the hanging rods (to create a total of two frames).
Basically I used a sharp tool to make an additional groove further along the bar, then used pliers to break off the extra
When I snapped off some length off one of the rods, it kind of bent the entire thing, but I used the snapping tool to gently straighten it out
My husband was able to put it together with no problem (using the tool included in the kit).
These can be cut down to less than 14" if you have the right tool - I had to get it to 13"
The frames are adjusted by your bending and breaking the metal to the right length which was a little concerning for me, but I managed to do so without any injury to myself or others.
These frames were very easy to assemble, needing no tools except the included tool for snapping off extra length from the frames.
I took the advice of another reviewer who said you can break the frame shorter to fit in an Ikea box
People said the frame was not sturdy enough, that the rails are difficult to shorten, that the plastic hardware is flimsy, that packages arrive with the wrong hardware, etc
The frame itself is very durable and strong enough to hold all of our files.
If my review seems to lack gusto and a sense of awe, it is only because the product in question is at its best work-related; and thus fails to elicit feelings of elation from deep within my soul

Made useless cabinet work
The tool they provided worked well for bending and breaking the rails to the right size.
These hanging folder drawer inserts work very well and are very inexpensive compared with comparable products which is one of the reasons that I ordered them
The metal was hard to break to adjust the size - my husband had to do it for me.
so it was like the metal was folding backwards on top of itself
total pain - could not size because metal impossible to break at
The metal is VERY strong and it's VERY hard to bend it so that it finally breaks
The frames are adjusted by your bending and breaking the metal to the right length which was a little concerning for me, but I managed to do so without any injury to myself or others.
I used the claw end of a hammer to bend and break the bar to the correct size, and had no problems - and I'm a little old lady!
but I needed my husband to break the bars to the right size for the drawer
Had difficulty trying to break the metal bars to fit the drawer.
You have to manually break the metal bars to make it fit to the drawer in which you want to put it
The included "tool" for re-sizing the frames is a small piece of plastic that is nowhere near strong enough to break the metal bars down to the correct size
I placed the metal rod/hanger on my nightstand and slipped the plastic "breaking-tool" loop-side down so the handle is facing up and bent the tool and the metal in towards
I was tempted to go get heavy duty tools right away without even trying the plastic breaking tool
In my box, two were malformed (the hole for the vertical rods was not a hole but, rather, still filled with hard plastic) and could not be used so only one of the two frames was usable.
