What is a rotary filing cabinet and when would one make sense?

A rotary filing cabinet has circular trays or shelves that spin on a central axis — like a lazy Susan — giving access to all files by rotating rather than walking around a traditional cabinet. They're compact, fitting in a relatively small floor footprint while providing 360-degree access. They're particularly useful in mailroom or administrative settings where multiple people need access from different angles, or where a smaller but high-density filing footprint is needed. The tradeoff: rotary cabinets tend to cost more than equivalent linear cabinets and have more complex mechanical components. They're a niche product but very useful in the right application. For mailrooms, reception areas, or admin workstations with limited linear wall space, they're worth considering. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
