Flat files cannot be returned unless defective or damaged. If you order a base, it will arrive attached to your flat file unless otherwise requested. It is critical that you measure your doorways and any tight spaces leading up to them to ensure that the flat file will fit through when level (with minimal tipping or angling). Check the product dimensions and weights carefully. IMPORTANT – Extra-large flat files are very large and heavy, which greatly restricts maneuverability through walkways, stairways and doors. Drawers feature easy-pull chrome handles and label holders for quick identification of contents. Heavy-duty suspension drawers glide easily on ball bearings, while courtesy stops keep the drawers from rolling when open and positive closures prevent accidental opening. The powder-coated finish will not off-gas for safe long-term storage. Constructed of welded steel, this flat file features double thick wraparound corners and sturdy inner frame supports for stacking strength. Bases are sold separately.Protect and store large maps, blueprints, photos, artwork and other media in this Gaylord Archival® Extra-Large 5-Drawer Horizontal Flat File.

They are available in a wide range of sizes, from smaller cabinets which store 9” x 12” and 12” x 18” paper to larger ones which store 46” x 35” works.
