Vertical File Cabinets — Expert Answer
What is the depth of a vertical file cabinet?
Standard commercial vertical file cabinets are 25"–29" deep, which allows letter or legal-size hanging files to be stored front-to-back with space for finger pull and folder overhang. Compact models at 18"–20" deep are available but may not accommodate all hanging folder depths. Allow 36" minimum clearance in front of the cabinet for full drawer extension.
