Storage & Filing — Expert Answer
Do I need a legal-size filing cabinet, or will letter-size work?
Letter-size (8.5x11) is the U.S. standard for most business documents — most offices run letter-only with no issues. Legal-size (8.5x14) files require a wider or deeper cabinet depending on configuration. Before ordering, audit whether you actually have legal-size documents that need to be stored hanging — many offices have legal-size paper but file in letter-size folders. If you do have legal files, confirm the cabinet explicitly supports legal-size hanging folders. FindOfficeFurniture.com lists file size compatibility on every product — call 888-719-4960.
