Storage Cabinets — Expert Answer
Can a storage cabinet be placed directly adjacent to a workstation desk?
Yes — storage cabinets placed directly adjacent to a workstation (beside the desk return or behind the workstation) are a common and practical office configuration. The cabinet functions as a secondary work surface extension (if counter-height) and as accessible organized storage within arm's reach. When positioning: ensure adequate aisle width (minimum 36" from cabinet face to any opposing obstruction for comfortable access); verify the cabinet height doesn't block natural light from a nearby window; and consider anti-tip anchoring if the cabinet will be in a circulation path where tipping hazard exists.
