Steelcase Used 2 Drawer 42 In Lateral File, White
A two drawer lateral is the most useful cabinet in an office because of where it sits rather than how much it holds. At desk height it goes beside a workstation, under a counter, at the end of a bench, or in a row along a wall, and in every one of those places the top is a working surface as well. Steelcase builds this format in steel out of Grand Rapids, and the 42 inch width is the one specified when a team’s active paper will not fit in a narrower case.
This pre-owned unit measures 19 inches deep by 42 inches wide by 22 inches high. The case and drawer fronts are white steel with a flush face, and the pulls are recessed into the drawer fronts so the front of the cabinet stays smooth. A lock is set into the top drawer, and leveling feet under the case handle floors that are out of true. The layout is a shallow storage drawer over a full depth file drawer, which is the arrangement most offices actually want: one drawer for the things that clutter a desk and one for the folders.
The file drawer takes letter and legal folders left to right across the whole 42 inch width, so a single pull puts the full run in front of you. Ball bearing suspension keeps that drawer moving smoothly even loaded, and steel file rails hold the folders upright as the drawer empties down. The white finish is worth noting on a storage run of any length, because a wall of white cases reflects light back into an open plan floor in a way that darker steel simply does not.
