Storage & Filing — Lateral File Cabinets — Expert Answer
What are the standard height options for lateral file cabinets?
Lateral file cabinet height corresponds directly to drawer count: 2-drawer units stand about 28–30 inches, which is counter height and works well beside or under a desk; 3-drawer units reach 40–42 inches; 4-drawer units are 52–54 inches; and 5-drawer units top out at 64–67 inches. Two- and three-drawer units integrate naturally into workstation configurations, while four- and five-drawer units are freestanding filing solutions.
