What is the difference between a 'desk' pedestal and a 'filing' pedestal on an L-shaped desk?

A 'desk' pedestal (also called a box pedestal) contains two or three shallow box drawers for supplies, pens, and small items — drawers are typically 3"–5" deep. A 'filing' pedestal contains one file drawer sized for hanging letter or legal folders (usually 10"–12" deep). A box/file pedestal combines one shallow box drawer on top and one file drawer below — it's the most popular configuration because it handles both supplies and paper filing in a single unit.
