    I love going to savers, I got a 2 drawer file cabinet on wheels it was in a bad shape, I used rustoleum paint on it after using the rust remover, and then put some padding and a cover on the top. It doubles as a file with a small drawer and a sitting area. I would like to find one of those filing cabinets. Keep up the great Makeovers. Love it

    You should have just removed the casters. It is easier to paint without them and you don't get paint on them. They just pop off and pop on, so easy peasy. I've done a rehab on a similar file and did this with it. Of course, yours turned out better and, in my home, I would have it in a purple/lavender color. 🙂

    You don't need to use a chemical rust remover.. it's completely unnecessary to use a caustic chemical like that..simply use brillo or a 120 grit sand paper

    • @ThriftDiving

      You can use brillo or sandpaper but I like using rust remover when I see rust, to make sure that I clean it up well.
