Is the clipboard side of the folder hard like a regular clipboard or does it just have the clip attached at the top with no board so it's flexible ?

not real hard or soft, i used super glue to attach a hard clip board to the pad side. It works great.

I would say it's in between hard and soft. It's like a double thick tagboard. If you look on Etsy you can contact the person who makes these, just search for "sarahpinto" on Etsy. I bought this planner because I like the format. It is the only planner I could find that has Monday-Thurday on one page and Friday-Sunday on the other page. For me it makes sense because my week for homeschooling my kids starts on Monday (not Sunday like most planners start the week) and then on the opposite page is what I consider the weekend - Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

That is the weakest point for any of the folders but mine is good. I dont know how you would stop it from eventually breaking at the seams but like I said, so far so good.

Yes,there is a ledge around the inside which holds the files in suspension when you use hanging folders.

It holds letter and hanging folders stay very succure. I really like it the only criticism I could give is that you can't get to the back 1/5 of the files because the drawer doesn't open the whole way.

The top is one piece and very smooth for writing. It also has a bottom piece of eggshell like plastic that covers the entire bottom which makes it extremely sturdy. So basically two pieces "fused" together. I use it for my computer setup and even my printer does not make it shake at all. The built in carry handle on bottom is a plus.

The folders hang on the sides of the drawers. This is a flimsy cabinet - I recommend you spend a little more and get a better quality cabinet.

I am not positive we have since thrown this away. My son is pretty rough on his folders and the plastic tore. It is a heavey plastic so i was worried he would get cut on it. Sorry we couldn't help. It was a little taller than standard papers. His papers all fit inside without being seen over the top though.

You can use regular folders but the hanging folders keep everything tidy and in place. I love the cabinet, very sturdy never a worry of falling over.

It is very stable. I have loaded it up with heavy duty (heavyweight) manila folders and have had no problem - it doesn't budge. When you carry it, carry it by the handles. I am beginning to use it for Pendaflex files, also. It's wonderful for both manila and pendaflex.

THere is a back. This is the very same product that Staples sells, but at a better price./ I moved from a 4 bedroom house, with a full office to a one bedroom apartment. I got rid of my file cabinets. I have 3 units mounted on the wall by my desk and computer and this way all the files I use, or need to file are in separate bins. And the black color is very attractive. Nicer than the smoked plastic others show. I also bought the magnetic strips and use them rather than a message board to hang, current newsletters and announcement of upcoming events.T hey are easy to mount. I highly recommend them.I have labeled each bin so I find what I need easily. THere is a back.

It lays very flat when opened. There are two pockets that are a bit tight for folders but I found that to be the case for all the padfolios I looked at, unfortunately. You're only real options if you need to carry several folders is to purchase an accordion style case.

I used small velcro Command Strips instead of the hanger on the top (it's retractable, so I just pushed it down so it doesn't show). I put 1 command strip across the top, the bottom, and spaced 2 along each side and velcro'd it to the wall since many people will be taking forms in and out of the various folders. It makes it a little more stable, and the strips worked great!

The exterior and sides of the bottom drawer are made of the same heavy particle board that comprises the rest of the cabinet. The bottom and back are thin pieces of plywood. Since this is meant to hold hanging files, the weight of whatever is placed inside is supported by the sides and not the bottom.

Actually, the top mount is more than enough to hold a heavier weight. The failure point is actually how the folders hang as they start to bend and can eventually fall off if you add a large amount of items into them. I am not sure if this is due to weight or the bulging of the folders that causes the problem, though I suspect the bulging is the real issue. This has only happened to me once in practice and was more to the fact that I had avoided my inbox for months...

The side behind the file drawer is thin finished particle board. It is tacked on with small nails. Not too noticeable. Looks good.

You do not need the hanger for the files with this drawer. The sides of each draw has a lip that holds the file. Comes ready to go!
