Steelcase Used 5 Drawer 36 Inch Lateral File, White
Five drawers is the file room specification. It puts the maximum amount of filing into three feet of wall, and it is the cabinet you buy when floor space, not budget, is the constraint. Steelcase has built steel office furniture in Grand Rapids since 1912, and the top position on this cabinet shows the kind of detail that sets its storage apart. The top bay closes behind a door that lifts straight up on a hinge at the back edge, turning that position into a full width open shelf.
This pre-owned unit is finished in white and measures 19 inches deep by 36 inches wide by 67.75 inches high. Below the flip up top compartment sit four full width pull out file drawers, each fitted with a long metal arc pull. The cabinet carries four locks. The flip up door is genuinely useful during an active filing session, because it raises vertically and stands clear above the cabinet, leaving the whole bay open and the aisle in front of it free while you work.
At nearly 68 inches tall this cabinet puts the full wall height to work, roughly doubling capacity on the same three feet of floor. That height makes the counterweighted base essential, and it is present, holding the unit steady when a loaded bottom drawer is fully extended. The drawers run on ball bearing suspension over a black finished interior with steel file rails and adjustable compressors, and they take letter and legal folders filed right to left across the width.
