Do the drawers already have hanging rails for legal-sized file folders? will legal files hang front-to-back as usual? or side-to-side?

The mechanism is already there to hang the folders so you don't need to buy anything else. The legal files will hang facing the front.

Legal sized files hang front to back and the rods that come with it can be set to fit letter size files side to side. BTW, I love mine - the only thing is the bottom of the cabinet doesn't have a great deal of structure, so if you have to move it often, that could be a problem.

The drawers have hanging rails installed that allow files to hang from side to side. You can use either legal size or standard size files. It takes some time to assemble the filing cabinet but I felt is was well worth it as this is one of the finest file cabinets I have ever used.

HI! We just put ours together and haven't yet put files in ti but there is plenty of room for legal sized documents. The bars that you can hang the files on are adjustable and there are 4 sets of holes to use. I'm pretty sure they hand side to side. Hope that is helpful.

No, they go side to side. I don't know why. There is room to go front to back. I bought some dowels and taped them to the sides so I could hang mine in the front to back direction. It is actually a little longer and lets me get a few more files in each drawer but it doesn't come that way. Other than that, I like the cabinet.

1) The drawers are not tall enough, 2) They are not deep enough from the front of the drawer to the back, plus because the drawer glides are not full suspension, a part of the drawer back is hidden within the frame.Main reason is that each drawer is not tall enough for hanging files

I'm not exactly sure what your question is....but if I do understand it, the files hang just like any other file cabinet...the wide side is perpendicular to the floor. Hope that answers your question

This will not hold hanging file folders. The drawers are perhaps 7" in height. This is a sturdy unit, excellent for mobile storage of relatively heavy items (we use it for a mobile food cart, with canned foods, bottled beverages, stacks of paper goods, etc.) but not suitable or deep enough for hanging files. There are units that exist for this (we use those too!), but this is not it.

The drawers are not set up for file holders. Only about 6-7" of clearance each drawer.

Can't recall that it came with folders. The entire width of the one large drawer is constructed to hang files. It serves my purpose well.

Hi. It's difficult to understand how you define "lateral" files. They are of standard page length and typically a file cabinet has the flexibility of allowing a person to insert these hanging file folders parallel to the front drawer of a standard width file cabinet. They will, of course, work being inserted perpendicular to the front file drawer but only if the file cabinet has a hanging rod or bar that spans the width of the cabinet itself. The file drawer in my desk allows me to insert the files in either direction, depending on whether I like the folders to run parallel to the drawer's length or perpendicular to its length. In summary--Yes (but only if your drawers allow the configuration).

There is one small drawer on top and one file drawer on the bottom. The bottom drawer has two panels on the front so it looks like two drawers, but it is only one. There are two drawers total. The file drawer is a vertical file....the files hang sideways.

Yes, you can adjust the top section to hold legal sized folders. There is a bar that can be moved laterally to accommodate legal sized hanging folders. It will then limit the number of letter sized folders that can be used in the remaining space. Very nice item.

No, the drawers will not hold file folders. The desk itself is much smaller than I thought. I hit my knees all the time and I'm average height.

It will certainly hang them! You just have to turn legal folders perpendicular. For example, you can hang letter folders so they open up along the top lengthwise, and the moving divider gives you another rail to hang longer folders so they are facing the front.

Mine do not fit legal size files/folders. They hang on a T shaped hanger(2 vertical parts) that we mounted w/ anchors into drywall. Not sure about partition hangers, but probably would work. Each basket hangs separately on the hanger.

I don't see how you could hang files from side to side with the hardware that is included. I use mine front to back files 2 rows wide per drawer. It holds a lot of file folders and the folder section of the drawer is 15" front to back. If you multiply that X4 (2 rows per drawer X 2 drawers). I would imagine you could put a free standing file rack in the drawer and use it side to side. Either way, this thing is heavy and seems to be a nice piece of furniture. Not the easiest thing I've ever assembled, but really not that bad to assemble either. Hope I was able to provide you with the advice you need to decide.

Not having an Ikea file drawer, I do not know for sure. But if other standard hanging folders fit, these certainly will. They are standard size. If the Ikea drawer doesn't use standard width rails or supports for hanging folders (i.e. standard distance between each side), no they would not fit.

Yes, it fits legal files front-to-back in the drawers, and it fits letter size files side-to-side in each drawer. You can have one drawer letter and the other drawer legal, if you want. Clever design.

Yes, the lower drawer accommodates letter size hanging file folders. That's what I story my documents in. The instructions also say you can use it for legal size if you hang it the other way. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does. Each drawer comes with a set of rails that can be place for legal-size or letter-size folders.
