In a former house in which I lived I needed a desk and file cabinets and didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I chose to use two black 2 drawer file cabinets and painted a hollow door with black marine grade paint which is extremely durable. I had the perfect desk with lots of storage without it costing very much.
Right now I’m using those same two file cabinets as a resting place for a copier. They provide the perfect size table space for the copier.
Here are some things to take into consideration before you purchase a 2 drawer file cabinet:
Will the file cabinet be used every day or used infrequently? If it is intended for daily use, go for steel construction or it won’t hold up very well.
Appearance and Design Features:
- Does it come with a pre-installed lock (some cabinets require that you purchase the lock separately)
- Is it fireproof
- Is it of steel construction
- Does it have high-sided drawers that can accommodate a legal conversion bar
- Does it have a counterweight to prevent tipping.
- Is it possible to change the lock
