10 Filing Cabinets That Won’t Make You Feel Like You’re In Jail
My client and I were recently discussing his home office that’s soon to be, and specifically, the necessity for a new filing cabinet.
We immediately agreed that the one he had had to go; metal, clanky, black, with sharp edges and an propensity to tip over when too many drawers are open at once, you know the kind. Not to mention this thing was colossal-six drawers and at least as tall as me.
And then he pronounced the description that I had been unknowingly in desperate need of up until that point: “that filing cabinet makes me feel like I’m in jail.”
RIGHT?!
Standard filing cabinets are totally the jail-version of office furniture!
Incarceration. Clanky bars and depressing design and it’s no wonder people would rather be arrested than attend to their damn files!
In an effort to introduce some more aesthetically pleasing, less call-the-warden cabinets into the general catalogue, I offer the following, 10 filing cabinets that won’t make you feel like you’re in jail.
1. Dang File Pedestal Finish: Risk Adverse Grey// Dang File Pedestal Finish: White on Oak
3. Dawson Wood 2-Drawer File Cabinet, Weathered Black finish
4. White + Pink West 18th File Cabinet // White + Lime Green West 18th File Cabinet
5. Blu Dot Series 11 File Pedestal, Graphite on Oak
6. Bedford 3-Drawer File Cabinet
7. 300 Collection Espresso Lateral File Cabinet
8. Hammary Flashback Mobile File Cabinet
9. Modular Office Lateral File Cabinet
10. Copeland Furniture – Catalina File Cabinet
Okay, so now regale me with your jail stories.

[…] As it is, I continue to spend client dollars on them because I truly believe that for the price, they can’t be beat. That, and they really are the perfect size for people who’re ready to Live Simply with their files. They provide enough file space, but still maintain an impressively unobtrusive profile, and though they are metal, they most certainly do not make their owners feel like they’re in jail. […]

[…] In other words: welcome to the third edition of filing cabinets that won’t make you feel like you’re in jail! […]
