Can a lateral file cabinet work as a printer stand or work surface extension?

Lateral file cabinets serving as printer or equipment stands is a practical space planning solution that OfficeFurniture2go.com sees in many office environments. The 2-drawer lateral provides a 28–30-inch-high surface appropriate as a desk-height supplement; 3- and 4-drawer laterals at 40–54 inches are well-suited for printer and scanner positioning. Commercial-grade lateral cabinets have flat, durable top surfaces rated for substantial point loads. We recommend a rubberized mat under printer equipment to prevent surface scratching and absorb vibration. For any heavy-equipment application, verify the specific cabinet's top-surface load rating.
