Do the files hang front to back or side to side?

Side-to-side unless you purchase the optional Alera 2-Row Hangrails, which provides a center front-to-back rail allowing two sections per drawer of front-to-back filing.

The files hang from side to side or check directions for front to back as well.

I don't recall, as all our files run left to right in alpha order. I'll be glad to check when I'm in the office again on Tuesday (April 28).

The stick out, but only slightly on the side, not at the top or bottom. I always use sheet protectors and these folders work fine for me. The best part is that you can fit a lot of sheet protectors inside without compromising the folder.

I also have wide folders. I use one drawer of the cabinet to hang my files so the tabs can be viewed from the side. The folders are not parallel with the front drawer but are then perpendicular it works wel. Good luck

The answer is a qualified "yes." Its adjustable backing consists of crimped wire separators. These are difficult to keep in position, nor are instructions for their use included. However, note that the sides of the drawers are of correct height to support hanging files, which is a better system for holding folders in position. Higher sides on the drawers means that it is unnecessary to purchase separate racks to support hanging files. For partially full drawers, the crimped wires will have to do.

I don't know about ALL of the files being double sided, but mine is. Yes, you can use both sides, filing in one direction,not sea sawing like we are prone to do. Charline

No, unless you used some command strips, which you would have to put over some of the pictures on the opposite side. The strap for hanging is located on one of the shorter sides so it is intended to hang vertically.

No, it's a channel like on the sides/fron&back; that the hanging files sit in. You can easily use it without hanging files.

Hi, I actually haven't used them yet, but yes, they stick up above the file folders so you can easily see the names on the tabs. Hope that helps.

Not really, You can hang the files, but hanging file tabs are too tall to shut the drawer...very disappointing piece of furniture :(

I think it would be fine to stack them, assuming they aren't packed with anything too heavy. The folders/frame don't hang over the edge of the file box, so they shouldn't be affected.

The cabinet has two drawers. Large on bottom, small on top. The files hang perpendicular to the front of the drawer.

That's how I have mine set up but I think for legal size files you can go from left to right since they are larger.

The drawers pull out from the front of the file. Files can be setup with two rows facing the front of the unit per drawer.

1. Narrow top drawer. 2. Lower file drawers. I would have preferred if the files fit front to back vs. sideways which greatly limits the number of files. Just one persons opinion.

There are two plastic supports for hanging files included with the cabinet. By placing them at the front & rear of the drawer, hanging files can be suspended between them (& individual manila files can be placed inside the hanging files if desired). The files will be perpendicular to the drawer front, not front-to-back. Legal size files will fill the entire depth of the drawer (i.e. front-to-back dimension), letter files will leave a few inches of empty space. I hope that answers your question.

Yes,there is a ledge around the inside which holds the files in suspension when you use hanging folders.
