The first thing you should try to do is coordinate office equipment, so that they are geared to a well-defined, professional atmosphere which will enhance productivity. Lateral filing cabinets add a look of luxury and comfort to the setting of the home office.
The upper part of the lateral file cabinets can be used as an additional area to store office equipment, or to display business catalogs and promotional brochures. The inner part of the lateral file cabinets are a useful way to maintain a professional filing system. For the home office, they should be ergonomically placed in an area nearest the desk for easy access to files.
These are usually in two sizes with three drawers. Legal and letter size files fit easily into the folder suspended on a metal frame for a well-organized storage.
