How do lateral file cabinets compare to mobile pedestals for under-desk filing?

Mobile pedestals and lateral file cabinets each occupy a distinct role in a well-designed office environment. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we frequently specify both for the same client: pedestals at each workstation for personal, high-frequency files, and lateral cabinets along walls or in storage rooms for departmental or archival records. Standard pedestals fit under 29"–30" work surfaces and hold one box drawer plus one file drawer — convenient but limited. Our lateral cabinets, available in 2- through 5-drawer configurations from 30" to 42" wide, handle the volume that pedestals cannot. If you're unsure of the right mix, call us at 1-800-460-0858 — we've been designing filing environments for over 30 years.
