Storage & Filing — Lateral File Cabinets — Expert Answer

Can you stack lateral file cabinets on top of each other to save floor space?

Standard lateral file cabinets are not designed to be stacked directly on top of one another — doing so creates a dangerously top-heavy assembly that poses a tipping and structural risk. If you need to combine lateral storage vertically, use modular stacking systems that include proper alignment hardware and a stabilizing base designed for that purpose. Alternatively, a 5-drawer single-unit lateral gives you maximum capacity in a single engineered piece with no stacking risk.
