What is the difference between a filing cabinet and a filing credenza?

A filing cabinet is a tall unit (28"–66" high) with drawers accessed from the front. A filing credenza is designed to sit low (28"–30" tall) and serve dual purpose as both a filing unit and a work surface — the credenza top is a usable writing or staging surface, and the interior combines file drawers with shelves or additional storage. Credenzas are typically placed behind a desk and are wider (60"–72") than a standard lateral file cabinet.
