Is there enough room for tabs on the hanging files or do they scrape on the top?

Plenty of room, I use both widths and have no problem at all. The smaller drawer on top is a handy feature holding writing utensil, paper clips, etc.

I have about 12 file folders in each, because they hold bills and my folders get full. You could fit probably 25 if they didn't have to hold much. These are nice and worth the money, just make sure you read the reviews and order the hanging files that people recommend, so the lid closes. I did, and it did the trick.

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.

There are little vertical slots on the inside top of the folders where you can slide the side tabs of the labels into it at whatever position you need them to be. Does that help?

The colored tabs do not come off, they are part of the folder. You can put a label on the tab to label them.

I have the file folder rails set for standard which accommodates 12.25" hanging files. The drawer inner measurements are 15.25 with the option to move the rails for larger 'legal' hanging files. Essentially 15.25" long.

You could fit a few manilla folders inside the folder but depending how full your manilla folders are they can get squished along the outside edges

I would say no, but it depends on how you plan to use this. I have hanging files in the top portion of my cart, like they do in the photo. Consequently, the open part of the files, along with the identification tabs, would be crushed if you put anything on top. But if you didn't use tabs, and if you didn't mind not being able to have quick access to the things inside your hanging files, then you could stack something on top. However, I think a better solution would be to buy the file cart with a drawer on the top and the hanging files below, because that cart has a firm shelf/drawer cover on top, and you could easily stack your basket there.

In my file cabinet, the top rail for the hanging file folder is 12". However, I noticed that the rails seemed to bow out toward the middle of the drawer. I had a 9" x 12" sheet of tracing paper that I dropped into various file folders to see how the paper would fit. In the folders in the front 6" of the file drawer, the tracing paper would not lie flat. There was a slight curve. From 6" back, the paper would lie flat inside the file folder.

Yes you can hang folders in the box, but the lid will have to be modified to put it on!

It pretty much depends how fat the files are. The hanging bar is 12" long although the total inside width is 13", so there is a little more space than just the 12". There are two positions for the bar so that it can take letter-size or legal-size file folders.

The mechanism is already there to hang the folders so you don't need to buy anything else. The legal files will hang facing the front.

HI! We just put ours together and haven't yet put files in ti but there is plenty of room for legal sized documents. The bars that you can hang the files on are adjustable and there are 4 sets of holes to use. I'm pretty sure they hand side to side. Hope that is helpful.

No . not in any functional way. You might be able to squeeze them both in if the closed folder is really thin in width and depth

No - it accomodates the regular size hanging folders without anything extra in the bottom drawer.

No problems here. I have at least 30 folders with tabs and have not had this issue. I'd buy this and not look back if it's the kind of thing you're looking for. Couldn't be happier.

The drawer pulls out far enough. It seems to me the metal frame for hanging files is a bit tight & that creates the need to tilt the files when inserting them.
