When should I choose a 5-drawer vertical file cabinet over a 4-drawer model?

A 5-drawer vertical file cabinet (approximately 60"–66" tall) is appropriate when maximum filing capacity in a minimal floor footprint is required. The additional drawer adds 20%–25% more capacity over a 4-drawer unit. The trade-off is that the bottom drawer requires significant bending to access and the top drawer may be difficult to reach for shorter users. For documents accessed infrequently, the 5-drawer offers exceptional density. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries 5-drawer models — call 1-800-460-0858.
