Office Storage

Office storage covers everything beyond the desk and chair: filing cabinets, bookcases, shelving units, mobile pedestals (under-desk drawer units on wheels). Aosom UK, Cheap Furniture Warehouse and Cherry Lane Garden Centres between them cover £9-£15,849 across the range. Two main formats. Filing cabinets (2-4 drawer units holding hanging files for legal-size or A4 documents); mobile pedestals (compact 2-3 drawer units that fit under most desks, hold files plus shallow drawer items); and tall combination cabinets (mix of shelves, drawers, and filing). Lock mechanism matters for shared offices and households with sensitive documents: cam-lock cabinets are the office standard; key-lock cabinets are slightly more secure. Material: powder-coated steel (the durable office-grade pick); wood-effect MDF (cheaper, suits home offices); solid wood (premium, bigger flexibility for redecoration). Look for full-extension drawer slides on filing drawers; partial-extension means digging for files at the back.
