I keep having a problem where the legal size files don't actually *hang* but stand on the bottom. Will they hang in this box?

Yes, the rails that the legal files set upon are placed high in the box. This gives them plenty of clearance underneath to allow them to slide back & forth nicely.

Yes, they hang well. Of course, if you get them crooked, they slip off. Not as good as a real filing cabinet, but really pretty good.

Not so easy - I store the most useful records in the upper rack, with the things I may need for a project in the lower rack. I've moved the lower rack files to one side and upper rack files to the other. Using legal files, there's a good bit of wasted space...

The height is just a little less than a file folder sitting sideways. Does that make sense? Several folders fit in each of the three sections. I am guessing that the width must be 3 5/8 inches.

Hi I just tested if for you! you can fit a cd case in there standing up the correct way. hope that helps :)

You can use hanging files or you can just place items in and not put the rails in to hold the files, I hope that helps

No, I would not advise it. They are made out of pressed wood and after you add your files the extra weight may cause the bottom filing cabinet to become unsteady. That is my advice / opinion, I hope it helps. Sincerely, Linda J Miller

I've used the picture hanging hooks also. The disk needs to be placed lower on the back of the plate.

Not really, you would need to remove shelf and add something for files to hang

The drawers have hanging rails installed that allow files to hang from side to side. You can use either legal size or standard size files. It takes some time to assemble the filing cabinet but I felt is was well worth it as this is one of the finest file cabinets I have ever used.

With files facing forward is a standard fit. Maybe wide enough for legal if you were to place them sideways from front to back

1) The drawers are not tall enough, 2) They are not deep enough from the front of the drawer to the back, plus because the drawer glides are not full suspension, a part of the drawer back is hidden within the frame.Main reason is that each drawer is not tall enough for hanging files

Mark,No, these hang on rails closer to 15" apart. I think you need letter size folders as opposed to legal.David

Sorry but I always store them on the side in a hanging folder. It's easier to pull out papers without having to take out the whole folder which you would have to do if it was standing vertically. Hope this helps.

I would not attempt to do this assembling with the shelf on top. I think that the height of the hanging folders would cause a problem with the shelf laying flat....I suggest you google the name of the company and call them to ask the same question. You need a unit with a top overlay covering. What benefit would you have to the shelf just covering the top and not the lower unit?

I would say no on hanging folders. Especially not stackable if using hanging folders. The crates are not durable enough for hanging folders filled with papers.

Yes, the lower drawer accommodates letter size hanging file folders. That's what I story my documents in. The instructions also say you can use it for legal size if you hang it the other way. Hope this helps.

It will not fit stand up but will lay flat on the bottom. All other files will have to lay far also.
