I'm thinking of getting this to use for files and papers I need at my finger tips. Would the drawers fit a regular size file folder?

I don't think so....I purchased this for my daughter so don't have it here to measure the bins but the two smaller bins aren't deep enough either way for file folders to actually fit in. The larger one could handle them long ways but I really don't think that would provide you much organization. They're great for tossing in misc items but I don't think they'd work the way you would like them to for files and such.

No, the top drawers are 11" across the front and 10 inches wide. Standard file folders are 12" across.

I agree with Grits. I don't have an Ikea file drawer, but I think they will fit any standard file setup. The difference to me is that the black plastic has some "depth" to it... so when these are empty, they take up more space in the drawer (won't mush flat) than normal hanging file folders. But once there's (enough) paper in the folder, it doesn't matter.

Yes, as long as the drawer is the appropriate height, width, and depth to fit it. The given measurements are correct. My sorter is currently in an armoire for easy access to files.

Hi Karyn!I believe I did answer this question earlier, although I'm not sure if it was this particular query. Yes, file sizes of letter/A4/legal will fit into this Closet Maid drawer if you lay them flat or horizontally. Vertically/hanging - No.

Yes. this should work well for your application. The folder is divided into around 21 (twenty one) 1" (one inch) clear plastic sleeves that should hold your folders nicely. The handle on top makes it easy to grab and go. Please be aware that the tops fold over one another with the top fold going over one side to latch making it a little cumbersome when opening but not enough for me to stop using this brand. I love these folders!

It might if you don't have a whole lot else in there. Not sure about the tabs on the side of the folder though. That part probably won't fit.

Measurements may vary slightly, my drawer is full of clutter but - 13.5 inches deep x 18.5 inches wide x 8(?) inches high.I don't think it would be a very good filing drawer.

If you mean a standard 8x11 file folder, no chance. It is only 7-inches wide internally. A folder won't fit. Neither will a piece of 8x11 paper unless you fold it.

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

No, the drawers wont be wide enough for a standard deck of cards. You would be better off trying the size up: Akro-Mils 10124 24 Drawer Plastic Parts Storage Hardware and Craft Cabinet, 20-Inch x 16-Inch x 6.5-Inch, Black. They are very good quality, and i really like the one I have. Hope this helps.

The drawers are designed to be the right size for hanging files, so there's no extra room at the bottom. I use letter size hanging files, so there is about four inches of space to the side of the folders if you wanted to put something there.

This will not hold hanging file folders. The drawers are perhaps 7" in height. This is a sturdy unit, excellent for mobile storage of relatively heavy items (we use it for a mobile food cart, with canned foods, bottled beverages, stacks of paper goods, etc.) but not suitable or deep enough for hanging files. There are units that exist for this (we use those too!), but this is not it.

Yes. I keep heavy files in them and they do just fine. It is well made and sturdy. I would keep the heavier items in the bottom drawer to keep it from being top heavy.

My desk drawer fits,but it did require several takes before it closed properly.Good Luck .

Yes, I put a lot in mine. 2 or maybe 3 thin ones and the smaller catalogs. The big ones wouldn't fit. I just wouldn't put a ton of total weight... I mostly just use one folder per pocket.

Yes!! Mine has PLENTY of room! It will easily fit Legal sized File Folders.

There should be no problem with that. The letter sized folders are almost 12 inches wide, legal are almost 15. They are designed to hang in a file drawer or box. There's plenty of leeway.
