Under Desk Drawers
Choose the right under desk drawers
Under desk drawers keep stationery, paperwork and smaller office items close to the workstation. This range contains narrow and wide steel pedestals in black, white and grey, each with three drawers and castors.
Measure the space beside or beneath the desk, including clearance around chair legs, desk frames, crossbars and cables. Check the selected dimensions before ordering, as not every pedestal will fit beneath every desk.
Narrow and wide office pedestals
Narrow pedestals suit tighter spaces, while wide pedestals provide a broader cabinet. Each model has two general storage drawers and a deeper drawer for A4 filing.
Start with the Office Pedestal and compare the available size and colour options. Allow enough room to open the drawers without blocking a chair, walkway or neighbouring furniture.
Black, white and grey desk drawers
Choose a colour that suits the surrounding desks and office furniture. Both narrow and wide pedestals are available in black, white and grey, so you can select the cabinet width and finish independently.
Check that the required size and colour are selected before adding the pedestal to your basket.
Mobile and lockable office storage
Castors make it easier to reposition the pedestal when the workspace is rearranged or cleaned. Include the unit in the overall workstation footprint and leave a clear route if it needs to be moved.
The three drawers use a central locking system and are supplied with keys. Consider who needs access and how the keys will be managed in a shared workplace.
Three-drawer mobile pedestals
A three-drawer mobile pedestal combines compact office furniture with personal storage close to the desk. The two upper drawers keep stationery and personal items within reach, while the deeper A4 filing drawer separates documents from everyday office supplies.
Castors allow the desk pedestal to be repositioned when the workspace changes. Place the mobile pedestal on a suitable level floor, keep the drawers closed while moving it and check that cables and chair legs are clear of its route.
Organise storage at the workstation
Use the two upper drawers for stationery, smaller office supplies and frequently used paperwork. The deeper drawer provides space for suitable A4 files, helping to separate filing from everyday desk items.
Keep frequently used office supplies close to hand and use simple drawer labels where several people share the same workspace.
Personal storage in shared offices
A lockable office pedestal can provide personal storage for employees using dedicated desks. It keeps documents, personal items and office supplies close to the workspace while helping to keep the main work surface clear.
In a shared office, decide whether each pedestal belongs to a particular person or workstation. Manage and label the supplied keys so the drawers remain available to their intended user.
Plan the pedestal with your desk
Check the pedestal height, width and depth against the available space. Allow sufficient clearance for the drawers, chair, desk supports, cable trays and nearby walkways.
If you are planning a complete workstation, compare the office desk range and choose the desk and pedestal dimensions together.
Office pedestals or filing cabinets?
An office pedestal provides compact personal storage beside or beneath an individual desk. A filing cabinet is better suited to larger document collections or shared filing that needs to be accessed by several people.
Consider how much filing space is required and who needs access. For central records or larger folders, compare the filing cabinet range instead of using several desk pedestals.
Before ordering an office pedestal
Confirm whether you need the narrow or wide cabinet and select black, white or grey. Compare the pedestal height with the underside of the desk, including any crossbars or cable trays.
Allow enough space to pull the chair back and open the deepest drawer fully. Recheck the selected dimensions, price, availability and delivery information before ordering.
