A desk drawer is typically attached directly beneath or built into a desk, while a mobile pedestal is a separate drawer unit mounted on castors. Mobile pedestals can be moved between workstations and often provide a combination of stationery and filing drawers.
The right size depends on the desk height, frame and available leg space. Most under-desk drawer units and mobile pedestals are designed to fit beneath standard office desks around 720–750 mm high, but you should always check the drawer unit’s height, width and depth against the clear space beneath the workstation.
Allow enough clearance for the drawer unit itself, plus space for comfortable leg movement and unobstructed drawer operation. It is also important to account for desk frames, cable trays, modesty panels and other components that may reduce the usable space beneath the desktop.
Yes. Many existing office desks can be fitted with under-desk drawers, fixed drawer units or mobile pedestals. Mobile pedestals are usually the easiest option because they require no modification to the desk, while mounted drawers may require suitable fixing points and sufficient desktop thickness.
A fifth wheel is usually fitted beneath the bottom filing drawer to provide additional stability when the drawer is extended. It helps support the weight of loaded files and reduces the risk of the pedestal tipping forward.
