What is a vertical file cabinet?

A vertical file cabinet is a storage unit with drawers that open from the front, oriented with the filing direction front-to-back. Files hang perpendicular to the front of the cabinet, visible by their tabs as the drawer opens. Vertical cabinets are narrower and deeper than lateral cabinets — typically 15"–18" wide and 25"–29" deep. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, vertical file cabinets are available in 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-drawer configurations — call 1-800-460-0858 for options.
