The Olympics of Office Furniture: 5th Event - Filing Cabinets


Hey everyone - after a few days blogging about other topics, I figured I'd bring it back to the Olympics of Office Furniture. Speaking of the Olympics, did you guys (in the non-gender specific sense of the word) see Usain Bolt in the 100m? That guy is ridiculously fast! He was able to celebrate for the last 30 meters, and still break the world record. And what a perfect name for a sprinter. Anyway, back to the important stuff - filing cabinets.


For today's event, I've chosen filing cabinets. Like Barack Obama, filing is a major weakness of Ergo Joe. Electronically, I'm a master of organization - from my email inbox to computer desktop, I've got that covered. But when it comes to paper, I just can't stay on top of it. If you suffer from the same affliction, maybe these items will help you.



Our Bronze Medal goes to this lateral filing cabinet from Bush Furniture. Bush is one of the most well-known names in home and small business office furniture. It's RTA (ready-to-assemble), so be ready to put a bit of work in. But from personal experience, it's really not all that difficult to put Bush furniture together as long as you have a few basic tools.



Our Silver Medal goes to this lateral filing cabinet from the Kathy Ireland Collection by Martin Furniture. For those of you that would rather not get your hands dirty with the assembly process, this is a perfect product for you. When this filing cabinet arrives at your door, it's fully assembled - just take it out of the box and you are good to go. This product is made in the USA and carries a 10-year warranty. With stats like that, you'd think it would have challenged for the gold medal.



As good as the two challengers were, I had to give the Gold Medal to this filing cabinet from DMI Office Furniture's Oxmoor collection. This lateral filing cabinet also ships fully assembled, so no worries there. It comes in a Merlot Cherry finish, and is perfect for all home and business filing applications. I stopped by the DMI booth at Neocon a couple of months ago, and they offer some truly premium office furniture. Based in the Heartland of America, all DMI products are manufactured in the US.

That's it for today. Be sure to tune in tonight to see if Bolt can break another record in the 200m.
