When hanging legal folders in bottom drawer, do they hang side-to-side or front-to-back? Does the drawer pull out far enough to access all folders?

legal size files would be side to side. The drawer pulls out almost completely.I have no problem seeing the letter size file in the back of the drawer.

They hang side to side, drawer pulls out pretty far, but might be difficult to access folders in the far back.

Folders hang side to side. Drawer doesn't pull completely out to prevent it from tipping over. Note, the drawers are small.

I have letter size folders which fit left side to right side. The legal size would fit front to back. there are adjustment holes for different size legal folders or custom made folders. I hope this helps explain it better. Front adjustment hole to back adjustment hole is about 16". I don't have any legal folders to check it exactly.

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.

No, they go side to side. I don't know why. There is room to go front to back. I bought some dowels and taped them to the sides so I could hang mine in the front to back direction. It is actually a little longer and lets me get a few more files in each drawer but it doesn't come that way. Other than that, I like the cabinet.

My drawer is full of folders and it does not topple/tip when you pull the bottom drawer out.

Hi. It's difficult to understand how you define "lateral" files. They are of standard page length and typically a file cabinet has the flexibility of allowing a person to insert these hanging file folders parallel to the front drawer of a standard width file cabinet. They will, of course, work being inserted perpendicular to the front file drawer but only if the file cabinet has a hanging rod or bar that spans the width of the cabinet itself. The file drawer in my desk allows me to insert the files in either direction, depending on whether I like the folders to run parallel to the drawer's length or perpendicular to its length. In summary--Yes (but only if your drawers allow the configuration). Hi. It's difficult to understand how you define "lateral" files.

The bottom drawer on the right side holds letter-sized hanging files. The left side is a cabinet with a shelf.

The one I have has one long drawer and is fully enclosed (bottom, sides, back) so if you don't want to use it for hanging files, then it's just a drawer. I see now they make it with 2 drawers. That would be much better. This is a very sturdy, beautiful piece of furniture. I have the matching desk and book case as well. Highly recommend this furniture!

It has metal hanging dividers in each drawer that can be moved to hold up existing files while leaving storage or empty space as you choose. Hope that helps.

You're actually able to 'choose' whichever you prefer after it's assembled. Two rows of front to back letter size folder ... or ... like you want & I have mine ... one from side to side. It's a very good quality, too. I love my cabinet. Hope that helps.

The folders hang on the sides of the drawers. This is a flimsy cabinet - I recommend you spend a little more and get a better quality cabinet.

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.

The files can be arranged as follows in each drawer: letter size row beside letter size row, or legal row perpendicular to letter size row. There may be other combinations which I have yet to investigate. Yes, they can be hung side to side.

Can't recall that it came with folders. The entire width of the one large drawer is constructed to hang files. It serves my purpose well.

The drawer is actually designed to hold hanging file folders. It is a very convenient option!

You can use regular folders but the hanging folders keep everything tidy and in place. I love the cabinet, very sturdy never a worry of falling over.

This cabinet is designed for 3 sizes of hanging folders - A4, Letter and Legal size. For A4 size folders, you would place directly from front to back without using the adapters. For legal and letter size hanging folders, you would use the adapters to go across the drawer and place the folders from side to side. The adapters are included in each cabinet. You may easily find A4 size hanging folders on Amazon.

I'm not really sure if you are asking if they can be completely taken out of the cabinet. If that is the question, then I've never tried to take them completely out. They catch at a certain point just as all the other two-drawer cabinets I've used do. The very back files are a little hard to reach just as most others are. I use it at home just to organize personal files. I have no need to completely remove them from the cabinet. I suppose I could have checked this before I put the files in, but I had no need to know. It isn't extremely heavy when it's empty even with both drawers in.
