its about 2" shorter in height than my other one & just enough to have to measure 3 ring binders if I want to put them in a hanging file. It takes the less expensive binders OK - but not the more expensive ones. It's OK but a bit disappointing. I did not notice measurements on ordering - thinking 2 drawer file cabinets were the same overall dimensions. Fortunately it does not sit side by side with my other one or I would have to return it.
If the bottom drawer locked I would have like better. However it was too small for my needs. I returned it. I bought 2 cabinets with 2 drawer locked instead
