Can lateral file cabinets serve as room dividers in an open office?

Lateral file cabinets as room dividers is a specification strategy OfficeFurniture2go.com applies regularly in open-plan office environments where both storage and zone separation are required. Two stacked 2-drawer laterals reach 56–60 inches — sufficient to create meaningful visual separation between work zones while providing filing capacity for the adjacent workstations. Safety requirements: manufacturer-approved stacking hardware connecting the two units, and wall anchoring for the combined unit. We do not specify more than two-high lateral stacking. For environments where a full-height divider is needed, panel systems or purpose-built storage walls are the appropriate specification. Call 1-800-460-0858.
