Flat-File Cabinets — Expert Answer
How deep are flat-file cabinet drawers?
Flat-file drawer interior depth (height of the usable space inside each drawer) is typically 1"–2" per drawer. This shallow depth prevents stacking documents too high inside a single drawer, which would cause distortion and difficulty retrieving lower sheets. Drawers should hold no more than 50–100 sheets each for easy retrieval. A 5-drawer flat-file unit provides 5 independent shallow compartments, typically totaling 5"–10" of interior storage height.
