Designed specifically for Safco flat file cabinets, these heavy-duty steel bases help create organized blueprint and document storage systems in architecture firms, engineering offices, schools, print rooms, and design studios.
The all-steel construction is designed to support stacked flat file installations while maintaining long-term durability and stability. The recessed front design creates a more furniture-like appearance while helping provide comfortable toe space when accessing lower drawers.
