Know before you buy
No, the Aspen Lateral File is specifically engineered for letter-size files. It will not accommodate legal-size folders.
Yes, the back is left unfinished, so it is intended to be placed against a wall or within a built-in configuration. It is not designed to be used as a freestanding room divider.
The cabinet features full-extension drawer slides, which allow the drawers to pull out completely for easy access to your files. These slides are designed for smooth, reliable operation even when the drawers are fully loaded.
Hardware is standard as shown in the catalog, but you can specify alternative options if you prefer a different look. Please consult the provided hardware catalog to select your preferred style.
All wood options are solid hardwoods chosen for their durability and strength. While the grain patterns and stain absorption vary between species like Oak, Cherry, and Walnut, the structural integrity remains consistent across all handcrafted pieces.
