Can mobile pedestal file drawers handle vertical files (not hanging folders)?

Yes — most file drawers that accommodate hanging folders can also be used for vertical file folders if you remove the hanging folder rails (if present) or simply stand file folders upright without the rails. The drawer depth (front-to-back) needs to be enough for the file to stand vertically — most standard letter-size file drawers (12 inches wide, 15+ inches deep) accommodate this. For even simpler organization, a plain document or supply box in the file drawer works fine. Some users find vertical filing without hanging folders more intuitive. Hanging folder rails are usually removable in commercial pedestals. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
