Product Insights
The Branch Powder-Coated Steel Small Filing Cabinet offers a heavy-duty, rigid steel build with a factory warranty, locking casters to prevent frame stress, and a compact 12-inch width that fits under most desks while accommodating letter-size hanging folders lengthwise, distributing 75 lbs evenly to prevent drawer sag; its two drawers (shallow top with tool-free dividers, deep bottom for filing) and sage green finish deliver decor-friendly functionality, though the standard tubular cam lock requires a locksmith for rekeying.
