Flat File Cabinets — Expert Answer

How much vertical space is inside each flat-file drawer?

Each drawer interior is typically 1"–2" deep — intentionally shallow so documents can't be stacked high enough to curl, crease, or become difficult to retrieve. A good rule of thumb is no more than 50–100 sheets per drawer for easy access. A standard 5-drawer unit gives you five independent shallow compartments totaling 5"–10" of interior storage height across the whole cabinet.
