Cubicles & Workstations — Expert Answer

Is overhead bin storage or open shelving better for cubicle workstations?

Overhead enclosed storage bins are better for most commercial cubicle applications: they store more per linear foot than open shelves, keep materials dust-free, and present a neater appearance. Open shelves are better for reference materials you need to see at a glance and frequently grab. The practical compromise used in most quality cubicle systems: open shelves on the lower overhead section for daily-use items and enclosed bins on the upper section for less-accessed materials. If your team uses many binders or standing files, open shelves at a comfortable reach height work well.
