What are some good ideas for planning a home office?

Filing Cabinet Alternatives

Ever notice how far the drawers of a standard filing cabinet extend? In some small offices pulling a file cabinet drawer open may take up nearly all the space available. Avoid the file drawer crunch by using lateral files (which open to about one-half the amount of a standard file drawer), or open shelf filing. Both types build files in a left to right (rather than a front to back) pattern.
