Office Drawers

Are you’re investing in office drawers to neaten up your office space or home office? This buyer’s guide will help you choose the best storage drawers for your office. Read on to learn what to look for when selecting office drawers, including buying factors like quality, storage space, security, price, and aesthetics.

Buying factors to consider

Decisions, decisions. Here are the factors to consider when buying your new office drawers.

How will you use your office drawers?

The first thing to consider when buying office drawers is how you intend to use them. Will you be storing miscellaneous items to keep your desktops clear and clean? Or do you have extensive file and document storage needs?

These factors will determine how many sets of drawers you’ll need and the storage volume and configuration of the drawers you choose. We highly recommend choosing office drawers based on practicality, not just style. So don’t forget to think about function before considering form.

Aesthetics

There’s nothing worse than a dull, bleak-looking office. How should your employees feel motivated while awash in a sea of bare, plain furniture? Choosing attractive office furniture can make your office more comfortable for employees while setting a solid impression on your clients.

You can elevate the aesthetics of your office with minimal, sleek designs, or you can create a warm environment with rich hues and wood grains.

Consider your office furniture and which drawer set will blend seamlessly with your existing aesthetic while providing the desired features and purpose.

Types of office drawers

What are the types of office storage drawers, and what are they good for? Here are the main types of office drawers you’ll need to choose from:

• Under desk storage: This type of office drawer is discreet and great for storing the nick-nacks and stationery you use at your desk daily.
• File drawers: You can get office drawers with a built-in file drawer, so you can use the drawers for storing different types of office itineraries.
• Lateral File drawers: This larger storage solution suits offices with extensive storage needs, allowing you to keep surfaces clear and keep your items organised and put away neatly.
• Box drawers: A box drawer is ideal for minor storage needs, providing nifty storage space for smaller items.
• Vertical Filing drawers: If you don’t have a lot of floor space in your office, a tall 4-drawer cabinet allows you to take advantage of vertical space, providing extra storage without making you squeeze your elbows in when walking through your office.

Storage space

How much storage space do you need in an office drawer unit? Taking inventory of the items you’ll be using daily and the files, books, and folders you have to put away will determine how many drawers to purchase. You should purchase drawers for each room, desk space, or office in your commercial space. Purchase drawers with ample space for workers to put their belongings, stationery, and materials.

Security

Do you need a locking drawer solution? Investing in a secure locking drawer can be helpful if you store confidential documents and expensive assets in your commercial space. Locking drawers also allow employees to keep their belongings safe and private while away from their office desks, assuring them that nothing will be taken without their permission.
Locking options include standard key locks, or digital locks.

Price

Affordability is always considered when investing in office furniture – you need value for money quality. Look at units in your price range and pick the product that best meets your needs and specifications. Depending on your budget, you might choose high-end drawers to make a statement, or you might stick to the basics to stick within a budget.

Quality

Compromising the quality of your office furniture doesn’t help. You’ll purchase more furniture when it starts to give way and paint chips. So, prioritise quality by looking for the following things:

• High-quality construction – thin materials will quickly deteriorate with extensive use.
• High-quality drawer runners – you must know that your drawers won’t get stuck or wear and break down with heavy use.
• High-impact edging – look for finished edges that won’t splinter or wear down over time.
• Long Warranties – Suppliers who have confidence in their product generally provide a long and comprehensive warranty

By looking for these features, you can rest easy knowing your furniture will last years.
