Can I put a hutch on top of a lateral file cabinet?

Hutches designed specifically for lateral file cabinets are available from some manufacturers — these mount to the top surface and add 12"–16" of open shelf depth above the cabinet, providing extra storage for binders, books, and frequently referenced materials. The hutch must be sized to match the cabinet width exactly, and it's secured via brackets to the back edge of the cabinet top. Not all hutch styles are compatible with all lateral files, so check manufacturer specifications.
