Define what the cabinet must store
Start with the documents, supplies, display items or equipment that the cabinet must hold. A manager-room back cabinet, shared filing unit and open display cabinet serve different buying jobs even when their external finishes look similar.
Record whether each zone needs open shelves, doors, drawers, glass panels or lockable storage. Do not assume that every compartment visible in a product image is included or supplied with a lock; connect the required function to the exact model and current quotation.
- Room or department reference
- Files, supplies, display or equipment use
- Open, closed, drawer or glass storage
- Locking and key-management requirement
- Quantity by cabinet model
Check footprint, opening clearance and installation conditions
Measure the available wall length, clear height and usable depth after skirting, columns, sockets and other fixed items are considered. Add the clearance needed to open doors and drawers without conflicting with desks, chairs or circulation routes.
Tall or wall-adjacent storage may require project-specific stability or anchoring review. The destination project team must confirm local safety and installation requirements; a product image or catalogue category does not prove compliance for a particular site.
- Available width, height and depth
- Door and drawer opening clearance
- Skirting, socket and wall obstruction positions
- Floor level and installation access
- Destination stability or anchoring requirements
Write a model-level storage cabinet RFQ
Keep the complete BG model, required finish, compartment type and quantity on the same RFQ line. When the verified source does not publish dimensions, ask the factory to confirm the current size and internal configuration instead of estimating them from the product image.
For a mixed office project, connect each cabinet to its room and related desk family. Add destination, delivery target, packing identification and any site-access restriction so the quotation and later approval record describe the same item.
- Complete cabinet model
- Confirmed external size and internal layout
- Finish, doors, drawers, glass and locks
- Room reference and related desk family
- Quantity, destination, packing and timing

Prepare an RFQ ↗Frequently asked questions
Can office cabinet dimensions be estimated from a product photo?
No. Use dimensions from a verified product source or a current quotation or drawing. When the source has no dimensions, keep them open for factory confirmation.
Do tall office storage cabinets always need wall anchoring?
Installation and stability requirements depend on the cabinet, site conditions and destination rules. The project team should review the current model and local requirements before installation.
Can storage cabinets be matched to an office desk series?
Matching can be discussed when the exact desk and cabinet models, finish references and quantities are provided. Final compatibility is confirmed in the quotation and approval record.
