Impulse contract build throughout: 25mm top, 18mm side walls, 2mm ABS protective edges, steel handles, steel to steel fixings and adjustable feet. Rated at 20kg per drawer, in six wood finishes with a 5 year guarantee. #### Lateral filing to maximise space A lateral filing cabinet stores files side-on across two wide drawers, so each pull of a handle reveals a whole row of foolscap filing at a comfortable height rather than a deep, dark column of it. The result is more paperwork per square metre of office and no wrestling with a top drawer at shoulder height. With 20kg of capacity per drawer, it takes a serious amount of the day-to-day filing that needs to stay within arm's reach. #### Impulse contract build Impulse is contract office furniture designed to give refinement on a budget, and the side filer keeps the standard up: a 25mm top, 18mm side walls, 2mm ABS protective edges that shrug off the knocks of a busy office, steel handles, and steel to steel fixings that stay tight through years of daily use. Adjustable feet keep it level and the drawers running true even where the floor has other ideas. #### A working top, six finishes At 73cm the top sits level with a desk, which makes the side filer a natural home for a printer, a stack of trays or simply more elbow room beside your workstation. Six finishes, Beech, Grey Oak, Maple, Oak, Walnut and White, tie it into the rest of the Impulse range or let it stand quietly on its own. #### Right for your business This lateral filing cabinet suits offices where the filing needs to stay close at hand: practices, admin teams, reception desks and home offices short on floor space. One clear price, full specifications on the page, and no sales calls required.

It is 80cm wide, 60cm deep and 73cm high. #### Which finishes can I choose? There are six: Beech, Grey Oak, Maple, Oak, Walnut and White. Pick the one you want before it goes in the basket. #### How much weight will it hold? It is rated to 75kg. #### Does it lock? No, this one does not lock. #### How many drawers are there? Two. #### What is it made of? MFC. MFC is melamine-faced chipboard, the standard contract desktop: it wipes clean and does not mark the way a veneer does. The panel thickness is 25mm. #### What does it weigh? Between 51kg and 62.2kg, depending on the size you pick. That is a two-person lift, so think about stairs and lifts before delivery day. #### Can I see it in 3D? Yes. The viewer on this page spins the actual model rather than a photograph, so you can look at the back of it, and switching a colour or a size on the page switches the model with it. Worth doing before you settle on a finish. #### What sort of office is it meant for? We file it under Estate Agent, Small, Impulse and Oak, which is the honest summary of where it earns its keep. If yours is none of those, the specification above will tell you more than the category will. #### Does it come assembled? No building required. It arrives ready to use. If you would rather it was carried in and put exactly where it is going, installation is £49.95 an item at checkout. #### How long does delivery take? Standard delivery is free and usually lands inside a week. If you are in a hurry, express is £8.95 an item and gets it to you within two working days when you order before 5pm. The date it will arrive by is on the page and again at checkout before you pay, counted in working days with weekends and bank holidays already taken out. #### What warranty does it come with? Five years, from the manufacturer. If something fails inside the warranty, report it from your order page and we deal with the manufacturer for you. #### How many drawers do I need? Two drawers fits under most desks and holds a working set of files. Three is the usual freestanding size. Four holds a department's paperwork and needs a wall to stand against, because a loaded four-drawer cabinet with the top drawer out is top-heavy. #### Will it take foolscap or A4? The cabinets here take foolscap suspension files, which is the standard for office filing and also accommodates A4 inside the file. Check the drawer internal measurements on the specification tab if you are using anything unusual. #### Do they lock? Most of them, and the keys come with it. If you are filing anything with personal data in it, that matters for more than tidiness. Keep the spare key somewhere other than the office. #### Steel or wood finish? Steel is the traditional filing cabinet: tougher and usually cheaper. A wood-effect cabinet matches desking and reads as furniture, which is worth something in a room people are shown into. Both are here and both take the same files. #### Do you offer installation? Yes, on everything here. The crew deliver it, build it, put it where you want it and take the packaging away. It starts at £25.95 an item and the exact price is on each product page. Installs usually happen within about 10 working days, and the team agree the day with you rather than simply turning up. #### Can I change my mind after ordering? On stocked items, yes: tell us within 14 days of receiving them and raise it from your order page, with the goods unused and back in their packaging. One of the 4 products here are made to order, though, and those cannot be cancelled once acknowledged or returned because you have changed your mind. Each product page says which it is before you buy. #### Can you quote for a whole office? Yes. For twenty items or more, or anything with a complication like a mezzanine or a lift that argues back, we plan the job and give you one quote covering the goods, delivery and installation. Ring 0208 138 0512 or email hi@deskwell.co.uk with a rough list or a floor plan. #### What kind of storage do I actually need? Work from what is being stored. Pedestals for personal bits at the desk. Filing cabinets for suspension files. Cupboards and bookcases for box files and folders. Lockers for staff belongings. Safes for anything whose loss would ruin more than a day. 57 products here, from £6. #### How much of it locks? 42 of the 57 products here lock, and the page says so plainly on each one. If you are storing anything with personal data on it, the lock is not optional: it is part of keeping to your own data obligations. #### Steel or wood effect? Steel is tougher, takes more weight, and is the right answer for a stockroom, a workshop or anywhere things get knocked. MFC in a wood or white finish matches desking and looks like furniture rather than equipment, which matters in a room clients see. Both are here. #### Does storage arrive built? A good deal of it does: 33 of the products here need no assembly at all, which is common for steel units. The rest arrive flat-packed, and installation is available on most of them if you would rather not. #### Do I have to be a business to buy from you? Yes. Checkout asks you to confirm that you are buying for your business, trade or profession rather than as a consumer, and it asks for a company name. That is why prices are shown without VAT and why the terms read the way they do. Sole traders and home-based businesses count, and so does an employer buying a desk for somebody working from home. #### Do your prices include VAT? No. Every price on the site is shown excluding VAT, because most of our customers reclaim it. VAT is added at checkout and the total you actually pay is on screen before you confirm anything. A VAT invoice follows once the order is complete. Our VAT number is GB 525 3667 81. #### How do I pay? Payment is due in full when you order, and the methods available to you are shown at checkout. If you pay by bank transfer, your order is not accepted and the lead time does not start until cleared funds reach our account, so it is worth sending it the same day. #### Can I pay on account, or on 30 day terms? No. We take payment before the order goes to the supplier, so there is no credit account to open and no application to fill in. It keeps our prices where they are, and it means nothing is waiting on a credit check while you are waiting for furniture. #### Can I put a purchase order number on the order? Yes. There is a Purchase Order Number box at checkout, and what you type there carries through to the paperwork so your accounts team can match it up. #### Do I need an account to order? No, you can check out as a guest. You will still be able to see the order afterwards: go to Track Order, give the order number and the delivery postcode, and you get the same order page an account holder sees, with the same buttons for returns, cancellations and damage reports. Making an account simply saves typing the address again next time. #### How much is delivery? Standard delivery is free on everything, whatever the size of the order. The paid options are upgrades on top of that: express, pre-assembled and installation, each priced per item and shown on the product page before you add anything to the basket. Where an option is not shown on a product, it is not available for that product. #### Do you deliver everywhere in the UK? We deliver across mainland UK. A number of postcodes sit outside the standard service: Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and Islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Wight and the Isles of Scilly. We can usually still get furniture to those places, but it has to be quoted rather than booked from the site, so ring 0208 138 0512 or email hi@deskwell.co.uk before you order. #### Will the delivery crew bring it inside? Standard delivery is to the door, flat-packed. If you want it carried in and built, choose pre-assembled delivery or installation on the product page. Whichever you pick, the crew ring roughly 30 to 60 minutes before they arrive, so you are not waiting by the window all morning. #### Can I change my delivery date? Yes, but not on the day. Our courier partner Furdeco plan their routes in advance, so the three hour slot cannot be moved once the van is out. To rebook for another day, ring Furdeco on 0121 285 5255 with your tracking number and pick a time that suits you. Larger deliveries and installations get a call from our logistics team first anyway, so the day is agreed with you rather than sprung on you. #### Can I tell the driver how to find us? Yes, and it is worth doing. There is a box on the delivery step at checkout, 500 characters, for anything the crew needs to know: where a lorry can park, which floor you are on and whether there is a lift, loading bay hours, a gate code, a one-way system the satnav has never heard of, and who to ask for. It travels with the order rather than sitting in a note at our end. It cannot be edited once the order is placed, so if something changes, ring 0208 138 0512 with your order number. #### What happens if I miss the delivery? The courier team will contact you to arrange another date, or you can ring Furdeco on 0121 285 5255 with your tracking number and rebook it yourself. Worth avoiding if you can: a failed delivery costs from £10 an item, plus storage if the order has to go back to a warehouse. A gate code in the delivery instructions box costs nothing. #### Can you take the old furniture away? Yes, we run a removal and recycling service, quoted per job. It has to be booked before delivery day, because the crew can only take away what they have been booked and equipped to take. Tell us what is going when you order and the swap happens in one visit rather than two. #### Can I return something? Tell us within 14 days of receiving it and we will look at it. Go to your order page, either signed in or through Track Order with the order number and delivery postcode, and raise the return there. The goods have to be unused and back in their original boxes, or packed well enough to survive the journey. If you send them back yourself there is no handling charge at all and carriage is at your cost. If you would rather we collected, we may charge up to £35 an item, and we tell you the figure before we collect. Anything you paid for on top, like express delivery or installation, is not refunded, because those services were already carried out. #### Can I cancel an order? Ask as soon as you can, from your order page. Before anything is dispatched we can often cancel it, though where costs have already been incurred with the supplier we may deduct those before refunding the balance. Once something has been dispatched it becomes a return rather than a cancellation. Made-to-order items cannot be cancelled at all once we have acknowledged them. #### Something arrived damaged. What do I do? Tell the delivery crew at the door. They note it down and photograph it, and that record is what settles the claim with the carrier later. If you turn the delivery away because of the damage, the crew take the goods with them and we arrange a replacement. If you only spot it after they have gone, open your order, press Report a problem and send photographs, up to six on one report. Do it within five days: carriers stop entertaining a claim once a delivery is more than a few days old. A damage report is counted separately from a return, so a breakage does not use up your 14 days. #### How do I track my order? A confirmation email lands as soon as you order, and the moment it is on its way you get a dispatch email with a full tracking link. You can also go to Track Order at any time with your order number and the delivery postcode. Your order number starts with DW. #### Is everything on the site actually in stock? Anything out of stock is hidden from the listings, so if you can see it and add it to a basket, we can get it. The exception is made-to-order items, which are not held in stock by design: they are built for you after you order, and their pages say so. #### How do I get hold of a person? Ring 0208 138 0512, email hi@deskwell.co.uk, or use the live chat on the site. If it is about an existing order, have the order number to hand and it will be quicker. #### Who are Deskwell?
