How much horizontal storage space does a flat file cabinet provide per drawer?

Each flat file drawer provides one horizontal layer of storage the size of the drawer's interior dimensions. For a standard 36" x 48" flat file cabinet, each drawer provides approximately 36" x 48" of flat storage space (allowing for a couple inches of clearance for comfortable insertion and removal). In a 5-drawer unit, that's 5 full-size sheets of storage capacity, stacked flat. The maximum thickness per drawer is typically 2"–3" of stacked materials, allowing multiple drawings or prints per drawer depending on paper thickness. For thin paper drawings, a single drawer may hold 20–50 sheets comfortably. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 for specific drawer dimension specifications.
