How many file folders fit in one drawer of a standard vertical file cabinet?

A standard letter-size vertical file cabinet drawer (approximately 15" wide x 25"–26" deep) holds approximately 35–50 hanging file folders when properly loaded. Legal-size drawers hold proportionally fewer folders due to their wider folders. Do not overfill drawers — this strains the drawer mechanism and makes retrieval difficult. At 80% capacity, drawers operate best. OfficeFurniture2go.com's file cabinets are designed for commercial-grade loading — call 1-800-460-0858.
