Storage is an important part of any office space. Not only in terms of getting organized, but in keeping our personal belongings and work safe and accounted for. The more the walls of the modern office come down and spaces are being shared and open to the whole office, the more valuable it is to have the proper units to maintain a clutter-free, private work area where you know your work is safe and easily accessible. EthoSource has a large selection of storage cabinets to fit every office need and work within your space. One of our most popular units is our lateral file cabinet, which is also available in a variety of finishes and sizes. Here’s what you need to know!

That’s right, we are your complete source for everything your office needs. And right now, you need storage, so let’s discuss your options.
Lateral file cabinets are great space savers because of their side-to-side filing organization. This makes it easy to locate files especially in high volume, while their longer width and shallow depth prevent the unit from taking up too much space. Need more storage? Choose 2, 3, 4, or 5 high files that provide more filing options without requiring more space. The long top surface can be used as an extension of your work surface, while the smaller units with less drawers can easily fit under worksurfaces and out of the way. Choose from different width sizes and finishes to match your specific office needs.
Other storage units include:
Vertical Files: Filing is front to back, so drawers are deep and narrow. Better for when not all files need to be accessed equally, so older files remain deep in the drawer and out of the way. If you have little width to work with, but still have a lot to store, then these files are a good solution.
Fire Files: These files come in a variety of lateral and vertical storage sizes. Their heavy duty protective finish is fire- and water-proof to prevent any damages to important documents or information in case of an emergency.
Pedestals: A great solution for those who don’t need a large unit to accommodate their storage needs. These units are petite and provide just enough storage for files as well as other office equipment and materials. Box drawers are smaller and less deep, making them great for personal belongings and non-paper items that need to be stored away. File drawers are meant for filing (go figure) and provide a front to back storage solution. Various pedestals are available in combinations like box/box/file, file/file, box/file, etc. Choose what works best for your space!
Mobile Pedestals: Everything you just learned about pedestals still apply, except these guys are on wheels! If your workspace or location changes frequently or you want the flexibility to move your storage when you need it and tuck it away when you don’t, then these are the perfect storage option for you. They’re great for the modern office because they can be used anywhere at anytime. Also available in the option to customize your ped with a cushion top in your choice of color. Your mobile pedestal can serve as a impromptu seating option for office guests or even a foot rest on a rough day! At the very least, your ped just looks awesome and matches your cool office style.
Bookcases/Storage Towers: You need A LOT of storage. And depending on whether or not it needs to be securely hidden or visible and accessible, will determine whether or not you choose a storage tower or bookcase. Storage towers provide a variety of drawer/shelving/filing combinations that you can choose to accommodate what best suits you. With tall doors as an option, these units can have coat hooks and other beneficial features that cover all your storage needs. Bookcases can range from a number of heights and number of shelves, and look great paired with a private office setting. Choose the finish that goes best with your high-end desk set and complete your executive office needs.
