What material are flat-file cabinets made from?

Commercial flat-file cabinets are manufactured from 16–20 gauge cold-rolled steel with a powder-coat finish — the most durable and moisture-resistant option for long-term document storage. Wood flat-file cabinets (oak, maple) are also available for archival, museum, and art gallery environments where the aesthetic is important and conditions are controlled. Wood cabinets are more susceptible to humidity changes. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we carry both steel and wood flat-file cabinets — call 1-800-460-0858.
