Are the drawers equipped to HANG letter sized folders? Different owners of this desk are giving conflicting answers regarding the drawer size.

I don't know but I don't like the materials to put the desk together. One of the pieces did not want to stay on and is falling apart. As such, other parts of the drawers are loose, causing me to toss the desk. I spent too much money on this desk and cannot get it back so I had to toss it out. Once the drawers start falling a part, so does the rest of the desk.

NO. The desk drawers are the type you keep paper and other types of supplies. They are not deep although deeper than say, your kitchen junk drawer. They are in no way deep enough to hang folders. Nor are either of the open spaces on the right side of the drawer.

Maybe, is the only answer I can provide. My letter hanging file frame went into a standard metal file cabinet which is assured to fit standard letter size frames. I measured the inside of the frame which is 12" but the outside is about 12 1/4" to 12 1/2". If there is some room for the frame it will be okay. If the letter size manila folders scrape the inside of the drawer, probably not. Sorry to be so ambiguous.

We are currently using them all as standard letter size files. You can place bars two ways in each drawer and they are adjustable...so you may be able to fit legal. Not 100% though. Otherwise, so far very happy with the product!

I do use the bottom right as a file drawer but the files fit into the drawer sideways. They included the rails for the file folders to hang from. The drawer is notched so you can use the rails for letter size or legal size folders.

Yes. Bottom drawer is lateral file with potential for letter or legal size. Top right drawer is primarily letter-size file.

Hi Rob... No the bottom 2 drawers are for hanging files..They appear to be individual yet are not... which gives it a richer look I believe. Hope that helps

No. The files can only hang side to side. Additionally the drawers are deep allowing you to configure it for letter or legal files.

Hi Karyn!I believe I did answer this question earlier, although I'm not sure if it was this particular query. Yes, file sizes of letter/A4/legal will fit into this Closet Maid drawer if you lay them flat or horizontally. Vertically/hanging - No.

Well I use the legal size hangers on top (which I use daily) and regular size folders on the bottom (rarely used). It is troublesome, but if you are only going to use regular size it might be easier. It is pretty sturdy. I have so many files so it is a tight fit, which makes it hard at times. I use it in my home office, I like that I can take it from room to room. I just wish it was longer so that it could accommodate my files more easily. I hope this helps.

When I bought mine, the drawers came with metal hanger inserts to use for files. They also were pre-drilled for both legal and letter file folders. So unless the design has changed, you should be able to use the drawers in a filing cabinet style.

Yes....it can accommodate the standard (letter) size hanging folders, but not the legal size. I have two files and love them.

No ma'am; the drawers are not big enough for files. I didn't realize that when I purchased the desk, but I am very happy with the look and quality. All the drawers are brown felt lined.

I have not tried it personally, but the third drawer seems like it is big enough for it. It's probably just a matter of getting the right accessories for file folders.

The drawers are nice. The top left is only about 3" deep, but lined w a thin felt and divider for pens. The drawer below is for hanging files. Center drawer lined as well. And same on right but larger drawer on bottom is a cabinet instead. Hope that helps.

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.

Actual hanging racks are NOT included, but the top edges of the two bottom drawers are designed so that you can hang the hanging folders right onto the edges of the drawers. It's actually a better way to do it because you don't have to worry about those metal racks bending, etc.

My standard 2-drawer file will not fit under the desk. The full width drawer/keybord tray would interfer even if yu propped he legs.
