Listings show a wide range: heights typically about 22.83" to 35.8", widths about 14.25" to 31.5", and depths most commonly around 15–18" (with a few deeper models noted). These ranges cover most compact to mid-size furniture-style file cabinets.
Many listings explicitly accommodate Letter and A4 files, and several models note compatibility with Legal as well. Some cabinets call out specific support for A4/Letter, while a few specify that the bottom drawer fits Letter/A4/Legal files.
Assembly varies by model: some cabinets arrive fully assembled or only require attaching casters; others need adult assembly with tools (tools may or may not be provided). A few listings explicitly note no assembly required.
Common materials include wood-based options (solid wood, MDF/medium-density fiberboard, wood composite/engineered wood, and veneers) and metal (steel frames or painted steel surfaces). Many designs mix these materials for a furniture-like look.
Several listings include keyed central or cam-style locks that secure drawers, safety interlock or anti-tip designs that limit drawer opening to one at a time, and locking casters or brakes to keep cabinets stationary.
