Storage & Filing — Lateral File Cabinets — Expert Answer

What filing furniture do I need for a small office with two to four employees?

For a small team, a sensible baseline is one 2-drawer lateral per workstation for personal daily filing, plus one or two 4-drawer 36-inch laterals in a shared area for departmental records. A 5-drawer lateral provides maximum capacity in a single 36-inch footprint if space is tight. Avoid relying on bankers boxes as a long-term solution — they're inefficient, create visual clutter, and don't support organized retrieval.
