what type of hanging file folders are recommended for this file box in order for the lid to close and do you have them for sale

I use standard letter size which I think Amazon offers, but they can also be purchased at most office stores like Office Depot or Staples. Even Target or Walmart carry them. Hope this helps!!

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.

You can use the 'computer sleeve' inside the bag for file folders, or place them inside the front flap. However, if you are asking about HANGING FOLDERS, the answer is no. It is designed with an open concept -- perfect for folks like me who carry ring binders and software text books.

There is "just enough" space for the hanging files to hang, if they have around an inch of stuff in them they hang and slide perfectly, empty/emptier files hang lower and drag on the shelf so they sometimes unseat from the bars.

Will hold both size folders. It just depends on how you have the file rail system aligned.

I think standard hanging folders all have slots across the top. You slide one side of the tag in one slot, bend the tag slightly, and slide the other side into another slot.

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

The edge of the box acts as the hangers for the files. The cover is wide enough to make room for the hooks over the edges.

No, the hanging rods run from front to back in pre-cut slots. They can be set close for letter files or far for legal files, but they would hang from side to side so the files would be accessed from front to back. If full, that does make it hard to reach the back files. I currently have 25 hanging files with about 4-5 folders in each one and it is full.

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.

If you want to use legal size folders you would have to design some sort of cradle for hanging folders, because there is no support for them on the front or the back of the drawer. Size-wise legal folders can be accommodated, but I'm not sure I'd want to buy something that doesn't quite work.

I have 28 hanging file folders in mine right now and I am not even half full. I would say you could fit 40-50 more folders, depending on how thick the folders are.

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

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.

I believe legal files will fit. However, I do not believe legal hanging files will fit because there is no ledge on the front of the filing cabinet to hang the hanging file folder from.

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 one of these file boxes and like it. Hanging folders do fit in this file box.
