How many drawers do I need in a flat-file cabinet?

The number of drawers depends on document volume. A 5-drawer model suits light-to-medium use (1–2 active projects). A 10-drawer model accommodates multiple active projects or a larger archive. Consider the number of distinct categories or projects you store — one drawer per active project is a useful planning metric. Also factor in future growth: a 10-drawer unit is often the better long-term investment over two separate 5-drawer units. OfficeFurniture2go.com — call 1-800-460-0858.
