Are lateral file cabinets suitable for storing items other than paper files?

Yes — lateral file cabinet drawers are surprisingly versatile. The large drawer volume (typically 42"–54" wide, 18"–20" deep, 10"–12" high for a file drawer) works well for storing large format documents, binders, media storage, photography archives, or even fabric samples and large flat items. The key is removing or repositioning the hanging file rail hardware to convert a file drawer to a general storage drawer.
