Could I use this for paperwork? Mail, etc. Is it a solid surface between each drawer? Would it hold files in it?

Yes it is solid on the inside but the drawers when you open them almost fall out. You have to hold them so they don't so I would not recommend for anything heavy or it will be in the floor. I have to hold the drawer so my socks etc don't fall out, so that is up to you how much aggravation you want to deal with.

The drawers are fabric and are foldable. When unfolded and placed in the slot on the cart there is a piece of cardboard that fits into the bottom if each drawer to sturdy it. File folders would not fit standing up like in a traditional file drawer but it us sturdy enough to hold a stack of paper work/files laying down stacked

The containers are canvas and pretty good size. They sit on small metal bar, not a solid shelf.

Drawers and dividers are made from cardboard. I use it to store light classroom materials.

It is good enough to hold mail but nothing too heavy. I have papers in one drawer, a few tools in another and a couple magazines in the bottom. It will not hold file folders. The drawers are canvas with a hard bottom insert. The frame its metal and each drawer has two thinner metal bars that 4 they sit on.

There are bottoms on the drawers, but they are very thin. I only put a few office supplies in from of the folders.

Yes you can lay things in them - I use one drawer for storage and the other for hanging files.

We use the long drawer for a laptop (amazing how difficult it is to find a desk with proper heights for a laptop and also for writing). The shelf is a bit shorter than optimum, so the laptop must be brought forward over the pulled down front. The drawer could certainly be used for small storage instead IF a divider box was used or if a rear lip were added.

There is not a solid layer between each drawer but they do not rest on each other. The Black part is a frame so each drawer is separate. I am a teacher and I stack and stuff pretty solidly. The unit has suited my purposes quite well.

A regular sized folder, probably not. You'd have to maybe bend it a little. I think it might a hold a composition notebook because those are smaller. Its about the length and width of a regular piece of printer paper 8 1/2 x 11

It could be we use it more as a miscellaneous drawer at the moment. You could always fill it with papers you need to hold on to. In terms of keeping them organized it will not help in that regrard. Hope this helped!

No. It is just a regular drawer maybe about 3 inches high...enough for pens and pencils, a tray, pads, etc.

No. It is mostly for storing things like a drawer. I don't think it's wide enough for hanging files but check the dimensions.

One drawer, bottom, would hold only regular files. It will hold hanging files. The file is so deep, you would not get away with just file folders. You would need to have the hanging folder to put the file folder into. When you are sitting in the chair, the files would face sideways, towards you, vs. file drawers that are facing front to the back. Hope this helps.

Yes, the edges of the drawers are designed to hold the edges of hanging file folders. No need to buy special hardware for the folders.

Not really as the front portion of drawers have wells for paper clips, pens, so the back portion you could put a few sheets in but it wouldn't really be useful for that. It works well for putting in scissors, calculator, small tablet. Plus, the bottom drawer isn't as useful as the top drawer if you put your keyboard in front of it as I do. It is good to raise monitor to a better viewing height and to use drawers as your "junk drawer". I like it for raising the monitor and to keep odds and ends off desktop, but I would never use it to store printer paper.

Yes, both drawers will hold sheets of paper, there is plenty of room. Hope that helps.

Yes, it is very solid. I have a cabinet in my office, I have my sewing machine and magazine files on the shelves. Excellent product!

It does open to store papers, but there isn't a lot of room, but enough for stationary, etc. Its quite an attractive writing desk, and it does provide some storage. However, I find myself writing on a regular flat surface, just a personal preference, but I love the fact that my calligraphy items, as well as papers can be stored in the box.

Yes, the bottom drawer is for file folders. The top drawer is your usual desk drawer size, well, maybe a little deeper.

it is a bit tight. If the drawer was full it would be difficult. If there is space to tilt the file a bit it works fine.
