The workplace of a modern clerk, along with a traditional table and an armchair (chair), is equipped with a one designed for long-term storage of documents, office supplies, and personal belongings of an office worker. As a rule, these furniture elements are characterized by a small height, and their standard location is directly under the table or near it.
The classification of office cabinets includes the following main types:
Built-in pedestals, which are completed with classic-shaped office tables;
floor (side) cabinets, supplied as a separate piece of furniture, includes modifications with or without legs;
roll-out (mobile) bedside tables, which are equipped with wheels or rollers, making it easy to move them from place to place as needed.
Trends in modern office fashion do not involve the use of office tables equipped with built-in nightstands: this outdated format is giving way to more functional designs that allow them to be relatively easily rearranged. However, massive cabinets as part of presentable tables made of wood are still a good option for equipping the manager's office. Here, such furniture looks quite appropriate, forming the appropriate image of the leader and the company as a whole.
Side cabinets, equipped with three or four drawers, are usually installed directly next to the office desk, thereby increasing its usable area. Wide floor cabinets, equipped with hinged doors or compartment doors, are sometimes installed near tables, but more often along the wall of the room. Another purpose of stationary side tables is an ideal place for installing office supplies and equipment (printers, MFPs, TVs, document folders, office paper trays, flowerpots, etc.).
A roll-out bedside table is a bright representative of a new generation of office furniture, characterized by high mobility, which is quite relevant in the light of current trends, when the need to change the configuration of office space arises quite often. However, today not only bedside tables are equipped with rollers / wheels, but also other office furniture, from chairs to desks and even cabinets.
When equipping the office with bedside tables, it is important to take into account not only the possibility of easy movement of furniture, but also its height, which should be sufficient to be placed under the desktop.
A typical office cabinet includes 3-4 drawers of the same size, which are used to store almost any small items and things. There are also two-section bedside tables, with regular and high drawers, as well as bedside tables with drawers and a niche. Bedside tables can be produced without a lock, with a lock only on the top drawer (most often) and with a central lock (all three drawers can be closed with one turn of the key)

If the bedroom is a significant room, then a large-sized model equipped with numerous shelves, stands and other elements can be installed in it. In order for stylish bedside tables to be comfortable for use, they cannot be smaller than standard sizes, these include:
- height - this parameter is considered the most important for these structures. If the height is excessive, it will be difficult to use it for different purposes. It is best if this indicator is equal to the height of the bed itself, which creates a symmetrical and balanced appearance of the entire room. The optimal height is considered to be 60 cm. The higher the product, the more difficult it will be to use;
- width - this parameter depends on the dimensions of the bed. If there is a single or one-and-a-half bed, then the optimal width of the bedside table is from 40 cm to 60 cm. If a double or huge bed is installed, then the width of the structure should vary from 60 to 100 cm. A width of 30 cm is considered not very suitable if it is planned to install a large lighting device or use the product for the constant maintenance of various large objects;
- depth - it depends on what the product is intended for. If the usual design is used to store various items, then it is desirable that its depth exceeds 50 cm.

With proper care, this design will last a long time. To decorate it, mirrors, hand carving or other possibilities can be used to give it a unique appearance.

Leather upholstery, which has a beautiful appearance, is considered to be in demand. Eco-leather upholstery will be environmentally friendly and durable with optimal handling. Before purchasing such a product, you should make sure that no formaldehyde or other hazardous components have been used in the manufacturing process;

Cabinet- a piece of furniture that can serve as a cabinet or be a stand for objects. Depending on the purpose, the cabinet increases the usable area of the tables, is used as a stand for office equipment, TV, aquarium or a place to store documents, things, shoes. In addition, the cabinet complements the interior of the room and gives it a finished look.
By appointment cabinets are:
- for the office;
- for the living room;
- for the hallway;
- For bathroom.
Material
Wood- solid, but expensive material. Wooden cabinets are usually found in executive offices.
Chipboard and MDF- resemble a tree, but are much cheaper. A cabinet made of chipboard has a lower price and is more toxic than an analog made of MDF.
Important: the room in which there is chipboard furniture should be regularly ventilated to get rid of harmful fumes. It is better to purchase models marked E1; E0 - they are the least dangerous.
Design
Closed- have doors or drawers (often with a lock) that protect the contents from strangers. True, access to the necessary items will take a short time. Closed cabinets are the best option for storing especially valuable things and documents in the office.
open- are racks consisting of shelves. This design option provides instant access to objects and excellent ventilation for equipment.
The disadvantage of open office cabinets is the easy access of the contents not only for the owner, but also for any unauthorized person. Therefore, such models are good for things and papers that are often used in work, but are not of great value.
Type of
An office cabinet is used to store documents and belongings of employees, to place office equipment, stationery, TVs and other interior items.
Stationary- capacious and massive pedestal, which does not imply its movement around the office. Such furniture usually stands along the walls or perpendicular to them, thereby dividing the office space into separate sections.
Mobile(roll-out) - has wheels that allow you to easily move it around the office and install it where it is needed at the moment. This advantage makes the mobile vanity an attractive choice, especially when you need to change offices frequently or for wet cleaning. Typically, such cabinets are less spacious than stationary ones. Another weak point is the wheels, which can fail.
Side/underbench- a cabinet of small sizes with legs (with or without adjustment), which is installed close to the table or under it. The side cabinet increases the working area of the main table. In terms of ease of movement, such a model occupies a middle position between a stationary and mobile pedestal.
Attached with an elongated tabletop- significantly increases the usable area of the main table due to the long cover adjacent to it. It is desirable that the tabletop has a cutout for ease of use and greater aesthetics.
View
built-in- is an integral part of the design of the table. A built-in cabinet will cost less because it is sold with a table. This model has a solid tabletop, while the attached or mobile version will always form a junction line, which is not aesthetically pleasing. The disadvantage of the built-in pedestal is its stationarity - the model cannot be used separately from the table.
For office equipment- it is convenient to place a printer, scanner and other equipment on such a cabinet. Cabinet for office equipment has hinged doors and shelves for equipment. The height of the cabinet should be 75 cm (at table level).
Cabinet-assistant- differs in significant dimensions, combines drawers and shelves with hinged doors. It also has a niche for a portfolio and a system unit. The curbstone-assistant can be either built into the table or attached. Typically, this model is relevant for leaders.
The size
Side cabinets, as a rule, are slightly lower than the office desk. Adjustable legs of such cabinets allow you to precisely adjust it to the height of the main table. The dimensions of the model usually allow it to be brought into a standard doorway.
boxes
When choosing an office cabinet, you need to know the number and dimensions of things that are supposed to be placed in it.
Office cabinets, as a rule, are equipped with 3-4 drawers in which you can store various things. Sometimes you can find options that have 2 drawers: one is regular, the second contains folders in a vertical position.
Some nightstands come with a flat top drawer for storing stationery. For greater convenience, such a box is equipped with a plastic stand with cells.
doors
Sliding or hinged doors are found in large stationary cabinets. Instead of drawers, such cabinets are equipped with shelves, although you can find options without them. Models with hinged doors are cheaper than "sliding" counterparts, but require more free space, since the door opens outward.
Lock
The lock protects the contents of the cabinet from outsiders in the absence of the owner. Also, with the help of a lock, you can block the extension of all drawers at the same time, which is very convenient (central locking).
Important: it is desirable to select cabinets for the color scheme of the office.
- First of all, you should measure the space where you plan to install the cabinet. Knowing the parameters of width, length and height, it is much easier to choose the right model.
- It is better to purchase quality products from well-known brands than a cheaper option that is questionable in terms of quality and safety. A high-quality cabinet has an appropriate certificate and a hygienic conclusion.
- The cabinet must be stable: pay attention to the quality of the legs or wheels. If the model is suspended, make sure the fasteners are secure.
- It is necessary to make sure that there are no defects in the pedestal (scratches, chips, deformations, etc.).
- It is worth checking the reliability of connections, sliding mechanisms and fittings. The doors should sit well on the hinges, open easily and not creak.
- Chipboard furniture should be covered with a protective film or veneer, which increase its resistance to mechanical stress and prevent the release of toxic fumes. It is desirable that the drilled places in the chipboard are also sealed.
- Pay attention to the convenience of handles on drawers and doors. To keep their original appearance longer, they must be resistant to abrasion.
- If the painted parts of the cabinet leave marks on your hands, refuse to buy such furniture.
The pedestal is intended for use in medical and treatment rooms, laboratories and other premises where it is necessary to have space for storing consumables or placing laboratory or medical devices and equipment. It can also be used in administrative premises as a cabinet for office equipment. Can also be used as a bedside cabinet in medical wards.
