What determines whether I should choose a vertical or lateral file cabinet?

The vertical vs. lateral specification decision is one OfficeFurniture2go.com resolves firmly in favor of lateral cabinets for virtually all professional office environments. The case for lateral: better aisle clearance efficiency (the drawer opens sideways, not deep into the aisle), more files per square foot of floor space, greater surface utility (cabinet top is wide and flat), and superior aesthetic versatility for professional environments. Vertical cabinets have a specific application advantage only in extremely narrow spaces (less than 20 inches of wall width available) where a lateral cannot fit. For any space where both will fit, we specify lateral. Call 1-800-460-0858.
