Will this cabinet function without the wheels? Will the bottom drawer open smoothly and not tip over?

There is a center support that, if the wheels are removed, will prevent the bottom drawer from opening.

Yes, it has a hidden top drawer which looks like the huge top trim. I do not feel any metal drawer glides. It is solid wood on solid wood. Very smooth. Has a drawer stop so the drawers do not tip out or tip down. Great design. we love ours.

When opening and closing the drawers.....it is very smooth and makes no noise...for me it's a good cabinet to hold my beads. I hope that this helps.

The drawers are held by metal rails that you attach to the sides with screws. Yes, they do open and close smoothly.

drawers and shelves are attached to the same unit. Item sits fairly low to the ground and seems sturdy. I bought two of these and so far no climbing/pulling has resulted in a tip over (had item for over a year).

The bottom drawer actually rolls on the extra wheel in front. Really happy with the cabinet.

Wheels are removable. If placed against the wall the drawers the only change is that they will not extend past the back of frame. Also, the the friction on the drawer slides is sufficient to keep them in place. I have used several of the plastic variety in the past and this unit is by far the best I have ever used. Its construction is solid, assembly is easy and I like the tray-like top.

Since the back of the cabinet is thin board, I'd doubt it. The cabinet itself, top, bottom, and sides are very sturdy. It is a tall cabinet too. I'd suggest the base to make it stable.

Hello, After searching our catalog I was unable to find this kitchen cabinet with wheels. Here's some cabinets with wheels that may interest you:

Either way. It is a nice cabinet for the $$ but it might tip if it's not attached to wall and loaded tho.

Only if you anchor the back down. If you anything in the drawer it will tip forward. After you do that it works great.

Hi Gershie, I have mine on a carpet under a table without it's wheels...only way it would go under the table. Thanks for the idea of pushing it against the wall. The drawers do stay forward better. I think I'll put apiece of cardboard behind it to protect the wall. Peace, Angie C.

it's not wall mounted and have not had any problems. I suppose that the wall mounting is so it will not tip forward but unless you open all the drawers at the same time, I don't see any problem.

The drawers themselves are on ball-bearing (full extension) glides. As noted in the other answers, the entire cabinet has optional casters, including a fifth caster under the front of the bottom drawer which offers stability when that drawer is pulled out.

Yes. Installing wheels is one of the last steps. Only sliding in the shelves and installing the door hinges remain after installing the wheels.

I can confirm the prior two comments. The drawers do open easily. They ride on metal slides with nylon rollers. Just follow the assembly instructions carefully.

The wheels are attached to the bottom of the frame with bolts and nuts. I imagine if you want you don't have to attach them. I'm not sure if the frame will lie flat on the floor without the wheels. Looks like it should. I have put my coat rack away. Hope this helps.
