What is a box drawer in a lateral file cabinet and when is it useful?

Box drawers are a practical configuration option available in several of our lateral cabinet lines at OfficeFurniture2go.com. Typically 4"–6" in height, box drawers sit above file drawers in the same cabinet body and provide convenient supply storage — stationery, stamps, small tools, or rolled documents — in a locked, organized environment. For personal workstation laterals and pedestal units, a box-over-file configuration is often ideal: supplies at eye level, filing below. We can specify the exact drawer configuration for each cabinet in your order — not all manufacturers offer identical configurations, so it's worth confirming when placing a multi-unit order. Call 1-800-460-0858 for configuration details on any model.
