A wood lateral file cabinet is a type of filing cabinet which has wide drawers that can accommodate different sizes of files from left to right.

It is perfect for offices that don’t have a lot of wall space and can even act as a divider. Like other wood file cabinets, it is available in different stylish finishes, too, that can spruce up your workplace or create a cozier, more welcoming atmosphere.
