Lateral File Cabinets: best for small offices; frequently accessed files.<\/h2>\n

Horizontal\u00a0lateral files<\/a>\u00a0are take up little interior space, so they are the best choice for small offices. Lateral file cabinets are available in a wide range of widths and heights. You can get lateral files big enough to divide a room, small enough to fit under your desk, or sized just right to to do double-duty as a new work surface.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Vertical\u00a0File Cabinets: best for small offices; less frequently accessed files.<\/h2>\n

Vertical cabinets<\/a>\u00a0take up less wall space than lateral files, but they are too deep and bulky for small work areas. However, vertical file cabinets provide a ton of file storage. Use them to archive files you don’t need to get at every day.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Metal Cabinets:\u00a0best for busy offices.<\/h2>\n

Metal file cabinets can take a lot of abuse, so they are best for choice for frequently accessed files.<\/p>\n

Wood Cabinets:\u00a0best for home and private offices.<\/h2>\n

Wood cabinets are usually more attractive than metal options, and relatively more expensive. However, they are a beautiful option if you don’t need to store a million file folders. Use them in your home office, or in a private office.<\/p>\n
