Across the results, cabinets support standard hanging files in Letter and A4 sizes, and several specifically list compatibility with Legal-size hanging files — so Letter, A4, and Legal are all represented.
Many cabinets include casters or wheels. Examples show 4-caster designs and 5-wheel bases, with some models listing 360° swivel casters, locking wheels, or locking brakes for stability when parked.
Security features vary: some cabinets use a central locking mechanism with keys that secure multiple drawers, certain metal models list cam locks for top drawers, some note a safety interlock to prevent multiple drawers opening at once, and a few include locking castors.
Assembly ranges from fully assembled (some arrive pre-built with only wheels or handles to attach) to units that require adult assembly with tools provided or not provided; a few explicitly list no assembly required.
Common hardware includes glide or suspension drawer slides (patented or smooth glide), three-quarter or full-extension slides in some models, removable or adjustable rails for hanging files on certain cabinets, and ball-bearing or runner mechanisms for smoother opening.
Finishes and styles include classic black or black powder-coated steel, matte or scratch-resistant finishes, painted white with chrome pulls, natural or rustic wood finishes, and a steel mesh crate style.
