Storage & Filing — Lateral File Cabinets — Expert Answer
Can I use a lateral file cabinet as a printer stand?
A 2- or 3-drawer lateral cabinet works very well as a combination filing and printer stand — the flat top surface comfortably supports printers in the 30–80 pound range, and the cabinet height typically positions the printer at a convenient access level. Just verify that the printer's footprint fits within the cabinet's top surface dimensions (usually 36 by 18 inches or 30 by 18 inches depending on the cabinet width) and that the paper feed and output clearance areas aren't blocked by a wall or adjacent furniture. At FindOfficeFurniture.com we commonly recommend 2-drawer laterals in this dual role — call 888-719-4960.
