Know before you buy
The vertical cabinet is designed for letter-sized documents stored front-to-back, making it ideal for tighter spaces. The lateral cabinet is wider and accommodates both letter and legal-sized documents stored left-to-right, providing more surface area and easier access to files.
Cherry and walnut cabinets feature a traditional hand-rubbed linseed oil finish on the body, with a satin urethane topcoat on the surface for added durability. Maple cabinets are finished entirely with a satin urethane for a consistent, protective sheen.
The cabinets are constructed using a combination of solid hardwoods and high-quality engineered wood. While the primary structure and aesthetic elements are solid wood, the side panels use premium furniture-grade plywood with wood veneer, and the backs are made from birch plywood to ensure structural stability.
The hand-rubbed linseed oil finish is designed to be low-maintenance and easy to touch up if needed. You can keep the wood looking its best by occasionally wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
Yes, the lifetime guarantee covers the construction of the furniture, including the integrity of the drawers and hardware. This ensures that the cabinet remains functional and durable throughout its lifespan under normal office use.
