Flat-File Cabinets — Expert Answer
How many drawers should a flat-file cabinet have?
The standard flat-file cabinet unit has 5 drawers, which is a common stack sold as a standalone piece. Units of 2, 3, or 10 drawers are available for smaller or larger needs. When stacking multiple units, consider that accessing the top drawers of a 4-unit stack (20 drawers) becomes physically challenging — keep frequently accessed drawers at 28"–48" above the floor.
