File Cabinets

Are pieces of office furniture usually used to store paper documents in file folders? The most simple context is an enclosure for drawers in which items are stored. Furthermore, the two most common forms of filing cabinets are vertical files and lateral files. Firstly, a vertical file cabinet has drawers that extend from the short side (typically 15 inches) of the cabinet. A file drawer has a drawer that extends from the long side of the cabinet. These are also called side filers in Great Britain. There are also shelf files, which go on a shelf. In the United States, file cabinets are usually built to accommodate 8.5 × 11 paper, and in other countries, filing cabinets are often designed to hold other sizes of paper, such as A4 paper.
