When does a mobile pedestal make more sense than a lateral filing cabinet?

A mobile pedestal is the right call when you need personal, right-at-your-desk storage that one person accesses throughout the day. A lateral file cabinet is better when you need high-volume shared filing that multiple people use, or when you want storage that doubles as a work surface on top. Lateral cabinets hold three to five times more files than a single pedestal. For individual workstations, go pedestal; for departmental archives, go lateral.
