Choosing between two 4-drawer locking vertical file cabinets comes down to how you use the top, how much vertical clearance you have, and what you're willing to spend. Both are new, lockable metal cabinets that require assembly, but the BESTOO and STANI models take slightly different paths to the same job.
Quick verdict
If you want a locking 4-drawer cabinet with a top platform that doubles as a printer stand and adjustable hanging rods, the BESTOO at USD 125.99 is the practical pick. If you prefer a taller cabinet with full-extension silent drawer rails, the STANI at USD 139.99 is the one to put on your shortlist.

Product notes
BESTOO Metal 4 Drawer File Cabinet w/Lock
At USD 125.99, the BESTOO cabinet is the lower-priced of the two listed options and still includes a lockable design with four drawers. Its 17.8-inch depth by 15-inch width by 50.24-inch height places it slightly shorter than the STANI, but the top platform doubles as a printer stand, which can save space on a desk or credenza. The internal hanging rods are adjustable, so you can tailor the drawers to A4, F4, Letter, or Legal folders. If you want a tidy vertical filing cabinet that also gives you a flat top for office equipment, this is the one to start with. The main trade-off is the listed height: at just over 50 inches, it is about 2 inches shorter than the STANI alternative, so measure your space if you want maximum vertical filing.
STANI 4 Drawer File Cabinet with Lock
The STANI version is listed at USD 139.99 and includes a 17.7-inch depth, 15.1-inch width, and 52.4-inch height. Gauge steel construction and a powder-coat surface that resists rust and scratches are part of the build, while full-extension silent drawer rails make the drawers easy to open and close. If you're constantly reaching into a filing cabinet during the workday, those drawer rails are a meaningful convenience. The taller cabinet also gives you a slightly larger vertical footprint than the BESTOO, while remaining close on width and depth. The main downside is price: at $14.00 more than the BESTOO listing, it asks you to pay extra for the rail system and taller profile. If those details matter, the STANI is the stronger pick; if not, the BESTOO covers the basics for less.
Final choice by use case
For a dedicated filing cabinet with a printer-friendly top and adjustable hanging rods, choose the BESTOO at USD 125.99. For a taller cabinet with full-extension silent drawer rails and a rust-resistant powder-coat metal finish, choose the STANI at USD 139.99. Both are new, lockable 4-drawer metal filing cabinets that require assembly, so your final decision comes down to how much the extra height and drawer action are worth to you.
