What types of filing cabinets are out there?

There are two main types of filing cabinets out there, each valued for different reasons.  Take a look at your office and your filing needs before deciding between the two. 

Vertical.  Also know as a traditional filing cabinet, the vertical filing cabinet has anywhere from 2-5 drawers per cabinet and allow papers and folders to be filed facing the front of the drawers.  Because these take up less space along the wall, vertical filing cabinets are often the preferred choice for offices with limited wall space.

Lateral.  These alternate choices are much wider than their traditional counterparts, which allows for files to be stored either side-to-side or front-to-back in drawers.  They are less deep then traditionally build cabinets, which allow them to serve as wall partitions or occasional tables in the right office setting.  They are also more versatile in terms of filing, as they can hold both legal and letter sized files, unlike vertically designed cabinets.
