I am looking for a file cabinet that I can store legal hanging folders in from left to right. Does your cabinet provide this or are you only able to store legal hanging folders from front to back?

Lateral file (store left to right). Relatively inexpensive but poor quality.

I cat say for sure as all I use are 8.5x 11 but there is an additional 2-3 inches side to side with the 8.5x11s in there so i would say possibly. and you can move the rails our to that width.

Legal or standard files from left to right or right to left (if you feel so inclined) - not set up for front to back.

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.

Same answer as preceding three. It's a lovely cabinet, but inserting and removing the hanging files is cumbersome.

I don't use hanging folders, but I see that the photo of the product shows hanging folders being used. The Product Description clearly states that it hold hanging files. That said, I don't recommend this product unless you always remember to hold it from the bottom when using it. If you only use the handle the clasp will fail (within two days for me). Also, the drawer at the bottom is very awkward to use.

The drawers are small.. you would not get much use out of a hanging file system.. they are only 4 1/4 in. deep, 10 in wide and length from front of desk to back is 12.5 in. These measures are from the inside edge of the drawer. Both drawers are the same. the wood on either side of the drawer is 5/8 in. thick. I believe that if you wanted to put a hanging file organizer, you would rather want a different desk as there is no way, other then folding everything, to use the small drawers for hanging anything. I hope this helps.

Those boxes can be used for either legal or letter size files. The short edge fits letter and the long edge fits legal. I have 3 of these boxes and do not use hanging files in any of them.

I love this large filing bin however, it does NOT come with the hanging folders. I had plenty of my own hanging folders from my previous filing bin which made buying this one perfect & CHEAPER without the hanging folders :)

No, they go side to side. I don't know why. There is room to go front to back. I bought some dowels and taped them to the sides so I could hang mine in the front to back direction. It is actually a little longer and lets me get a few more files in each drawer but it doesn't come that way. Other than that, I like the cabinet.

Yes....it can accommodate the standard (letter) size hanging folders, but not the legal size. I have two files and love them.

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

Yes, this cabinet will hold both legal and standard size files. Each drawer is legal size, with a metal bar that can be set to either standard or legal size for each drawer.

Yes, the lower drawer accommodates letter size hanging file folders. That's what I story my documents in. The instructions also say you can use it for legal size if you hang it the other way. Hope this helps.

Not so easy - I store the most useful records in the upper rack, with the things I may need for a project in the lower rack. I've moved the lower rack files to one side and upper rack files to the other. Using legal files, there's a good bit of wasted space...

If you are talking about legal length, it should come with two black "rails" that when placed across front and back of drawer, will hang legal length hanging folders. I believe letter sized hanging folders will hang on the sides of the drawer as normal but did not test this method.

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.

Yes, you can hang folders in the drawers without purchasing any other accessories. The drawers are designed in such a way that folders hang directly as they should right on the drawer ridge provided for that purpose. This is a good little filing cabinet!

It will certainly hang them! You just have to turn legal folders perpendicular. For example, you can hang letter folders so they open up along the top lengthwise, and the moving divider gives you another rail to hang longer folders so they are facing the front.
