Should I use a filing cabinet or a bookcase for storing three-ring binders?

Binders generally belong on shelving, not in filing cabinets. A standard binder is 3 inches wide, 11 inches tall, and 12–13 inches deep — they'll fit upright in a lateral file drawer if it's deep enough, but this is awkward and wasteful of space. Bookshelves or open-shelf storage units are far more efficient for binder storage: you can see the spine labels, pull binders easily, and stack them with consistency. Adjustable-shelf storage cabinets with 12-inch-deep shelves are ideal — they hold binders upright without wasted space. Reserve filing cabinets for actual hanging folder files. For mixed environments, a combination of filing cabinets and adjacent binder shelving covers both needs efficiently. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
