When you're looking to organize your office space, one of the biggest decisions to make is what type of filing cabinets you want to use.  There are three types of cabinets available to choose from: Lateral files, Vertical files and Pedestal Files.  Each of these has its advantages.

Lateral Files
Lateral file cabinets are the most efficient use of your filing space.  Because they are available from 30" wide to 42" wide, they can fit into a variety of available office spaces, while offering from 2 to 5 drawers worth of storage.  They are able to store either letter size or legal size files or both in a drawer depending on the way you wish to set them up.  Doing letter size filing in a 30" or 42" wide using cross rails lets you file from front to back and increases the amount of files that you can get in each drawer dramatically.

Vertical Files
Vertical file cabinets are a great filing solution when your available floor space is limited.  Because they are all designed to file from front to back, there are separate file cabinets for letter and for legal size files. It's critical that you order the right cabinet.  They're available in different depths and from 2 to 5 drawers high to meet your filing needs.

Pedestal Files
Pedestal files are designed to fit under your desk surface for additional storage space without taking up more floor space in your office. They are available in a variety of drawer configurations to serve you best. Most models are available with two file drawers, or with two "box" storage drawers and a file drawer.  In some cases they are available with pencil drawers as well.  They are available in several depths to ensure that they can fit under nearly any desk.
