File cabinet come in many sizes, styles and levels of quality. As well as offering a method to group and access your documents, file cabinets can also become flexible and useful pieces of furniture that may be utilized in just about any room of your office or home.
However, when you begin buying file cabinets, it can be a bit overpowering due to all the different models and selections. In an effort to help you in your buying endeavors, let's start with the fundamentals :
- Letter - This is the most common size as it's built to hold standard 8.5' x 11' paper.
- Legal - this sort is meant to fit the bigger legal size paper which is in general 8.5' x 14' and 8.5' x 11' paper.
Cabinet design - This refers to the alignment of the cabinet itself. Now, there are actually only two variations of cabinet design.
- Vertical cabinet - this type of cupboard is the more standard of the two and the more commonly seen. In this adaptation, the cabinets are positioned one on top of another vertically.
- Horizontal Cabinet - A horizontal unit has cabinets that are positioned horizontally versus vertically. Horizontal models are sometimes shorter than vertical models, but utilize more floor space.
Drawer Configuration - Filing cabinets come in a multitude of different configurations re the number of file drawers.
- Two drawer - The two drawer models are best suited for either under the desk use or for personal use in a SOHO office. Generally two drawer models are only available in a vertical configuration.
- Three drawer - The three drawer model continues to gain acceptance as it's not the size of a four or five drawer model, but bigger than a 2 drawer version. For the small office, or an office with space limits, it's a perfect choice.
- 4 drawer - The 4 drawer models are actually considered the general standard for filing cabinets. This is the most well liked size for businesses and corporations. These are available in both vertical and horizontal configurations.
- Five drawer - The five drawer models are usually considered the biggest kind of commercial filing cabinet that is available. Like the 4 drawer model, the 5 drawer versions are sometimes only used in businesses.
On a personal level, I am a massive fan of the 3 drawer file cabinet as it offers more storage per square foot of floor space than other size. Most three drawer models stand around 43' high, so they are the perfect height to for the average person yet they are short enough where you can still put plants or other lightweight items on top.
Buying file cabinets doesn't have to be difficult. Many people mistakenly believe that it's easier to shop locally for file cabinets, but they couldn't be more wrong. Most online companies offer better pricing and free shipping so you really end up paying significantly less and the file cabinet ends up on your door in a few days.
