What is the difference between a storage cabinet and a credenza?

A credenza is a low storage unit (28"–32" high) designed to sit behind a desk, functioning as both storage and an auxiliary work surface. It includes a combination of enclosed cabinets, drawers, and sometimes open shelving, and is finished to match the desk. A standalone storage cabinet is typically taller (36"–72"), not finished to coordinate with a specific desk, and positioned anywhere in the room. For executive offices, a credenza is the standard companion to the desk; standalone cabinets are used for supply room, utility, or supplemental storage. Call 1-800-460-0858.
