One thing...a free standing lateral file cabinet has a burning
desire to tip. Especially when the top drawer is extended. It

one on the cabinet.


SFWIW, have several commercial metal lateral files.

They all are two high units and have an interlock that only allows one
drawer at a time to be open.
