Can the hanging rods be removed? I just want to put regular file folders in to access.

Yes they can. They sit in round "receiver" eyelets. I use the hanging folders, then just put the manilla folders inside them, this way they're held upright and slide forward and back for easier access. Hope this helped!

It looks as though you can. You wouldn't want to put anything too tall in there as the lid doesn't close well.

I have one file folder tab which doesn't clear and it is in a hanging folder with too many other file folders.

Yes it supports hanging files. I was unsure when I ordered, but I ordered it and boy...do I have a lot of hanging files LOL.

Should have also come with drawer handles, that is what the screws are for. Not sure about "L" brackets unless you are refering to the brackets that are used in the drawers to hang files. While there are built in slots for file hanging you can also custom hang files with the brackets and flat metal rods that came with the unit.

Actual hanging racks are NOT included, but the top edges of the two bottom drawers are designed so that you can hang the hanging folders right onto the edges of the drawers. It's actually a better way to do it because you don't have to worry about those metal racks bending, etc.

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.

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.

The cross-bar on the top (see the photo) is loose and can be positioned at any point on the two rails holding it. Once you have folders hanging on it and one of the end pieces, they're what holds it in place, unless you zip-tie it. So yes, if I'm understanding your question, this can be adjusted to handle any size hanging folder up to it's full-cart dimensions.

They can be removed. They're essentially held there by Velcro. Hope this helps :-)

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.

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 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.

Yes, you can use hanging files. I keep things that I file on a daily bases, like bank statements, receipts, car information, insurance information, Gas & Electric, Water & Sewer, Tax information. It is really convenient for filing and holds about a years worth of information, so you are more likely to go through it and clean out the old information that you no longer need.

No you do not. If you use hooks, you can remove the hooks. If you use one with rings buit in, you should still be able to remove without dismantling. Worst case, sinse the rod is held in by the "spring" of the arc, carefully tension the rod, and remove from the wallmounted receiver.

You can unscrew the ends and remove the horizontal bars. The curved pieces that come out, where you screw the bars into, are welded and can't be removed.

I would say no on hanging folders. Especially not stackable if using hanging folders. The crates are not durable enough for hanging folders filled with papers.

I don't hang mine up but if nothing else, you could tie a piece of rope around the handle and use that as the hanger. Do you have the handles loose enough to move them? Sorry I can't help more.
