Many years ago people in business who were on a shoestring budget would take 2 drawer metal filing cabinets and bridge across them with a flat piece of plywood to create an inexpensive office desk. While very few businesses are so low on cash as to resort to this idea, the two drawer cabinet still has many special uses. In a similar fashion to the do it yourself desk idea, these cabinets make great printer and computer monitor stands. Their ability to lock makes them perfect as an inexpensive office safes. Metal filing cabinets of this kind usually come preassembled with delivery as part of the online listed price.
