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 see how you could hang files from side to side with the hardware that is included. I use mine front to back files 2 rows wide per drawer. It holds a lot of file folders and the folder section of the drawer is 15" front to back. If you multiply that X4 (2 rows per drawer X 2 drawers). I would imagine you could put a free standing file rack in the drawer and use it side to side. Either way, this thing is heavy and seems to be a nice piece of furniture. Not the easiest thing I've ever assembled, but really not that bad to assemble either. Hope I was able to provide you with the advice you need to decide. I enjoy mine and use it as a makeshift desk as well. I don't see how you could hang files from side to side with the hardware that is included. I use mine front to back files 2 rows wide per drawer.

I have two file carts, one is side by side and the other is all one row. The all one row is like the picture on the left.

Legal sized files hang front to back and the rods that come with it can be set to fit letter size files side to side. BTW, I love mine - the only thing is the bottom of the cabinet doesn't have a great deal of structure, so if you have to move it often, that could be a problem.

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.

Unfortunately not. I initially wanted to the same thing, but, I caved and ordered them, and the folders are all really cute! Great purchase!

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

Your choice, it comes with different size hangers to go front to back or side to side, it can be legal or letter, half and half or whole drawer. Whatever you need it will work. After reading the other answer I wanted to add this, the top file drawer does the same thing, however only legal files run front to back (do not face you) letter goes side to side (to face you). Very well thought out design and worth every penny of its price.

Sideways. I wouldn't have bought it had I known that especially as it doesn't hold as many files as my previous file holder drawer. It looks good, though!

It depends on how wide the drawers are, sometimes the lateral files are a bit wider.You would have to measure the width of the drawer.

I just tried hanging folders in order to answer your question, and yes, you can. The edges work just the same as a hanging file holder would. You might keep in mind that the edges do curve down in the front and back. Hope this helps !

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.

I do not see how you could hang files in it they are not deep enough for a file to hang in any of them. It would not work.

Yes. The metal braces that hold hanging files can be moved to 2 positions--Regular or legal.

The file I received is double-sided; and, I can use both sides of it. Hope this answer helps!

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.
