Sauder File Cabinets

Staying organized is an essential part of business for accounting and reference purposes. A Sauder® file cabinet offers a combination of function and convenience, making it easy to sort important papers for personal or company records. Staples® carries many styles and sizes to suit home and office use.

Choose From Many Sauder File Cabinet Styles
Sauder units come in two main styles: lateral and vertical, both of which fit letter, legal, and European hanging files. Some are made of wood and come in several colors including cherry, oak, and white. Shoppers can find distressed pieces as well, to complement existing decor. Metal units come in gray, black, and tan, with a flat plastic molded surface that doubles as a shelf and can hold picture frames, bins, or books.

Mobile units come with four caster wheels, which make the file cabinet easy to move between rooms and over multiple types of floor surfaces including carpet, tile, and hardwood. Select models have a fifth wheel that adds balance and helps prevent the file cabinet from tipping over.

Benefit From Safety Features With Sauder File Cabinets
Many file cabinets come with a locking mechanism that safeguards important documents against theft and forgery. The drawers lock and unlock with a key, which comes in handy for securing files when you're out of the office. Some units have a lock on each drawer, while others have a single lock that secures all of them. Fixed stops keep the drawers from pulling all the way out and adjustable levelers make it easy to balance the file cabinet on uneven surfaces.

What Is the Difference Between a Lateral and Vertical Sauder File Cabinet?
The main difference between a Sauder lateral file cabinet and a vertical unit is the orientation. Vertical models, which are taller than they are wide, hold files in a front to back formation. Lateral file cabinets are wider than they are tall and hold files in a left-to-right formation. Both have the same function and often come with the same features, so it's a matter of finding the model that works best for its intended space.

Do Sauder File Cabinets Come Assembled?
It depends on the model you choose. Some units, such as the metal file cabinets, do come ready to use, while others come with all of the necessary hardware, and require assembly at home or in the office. Many come with tools, such as an Allen key, to make the job easier.

Do Sauder File Cabinets Have Shelves?
Combination units come with open or closed shelves to store knick knacks, decor items, or organizational tools such as pen holders or paper trays to keep important items nearby. Some have small compartments while larger units have a hutch that doubles as a storage closet for copy paper, card stock, or notepads.

Whether you're shopping for style or functionality, Sauder file cabinets come in a large assortment of options. Shoppers at Staples can find models ranging from combination units that feature a single drawer to large file cabinets that have four drawers for use in a busy office location.
