In the workplace, storage is always a problem. Managers need to balance the documents and paperwork to be placed in archive and items that will they will want to be available for day to day use. They should also take into consideration the amount of space taken up by any storage system.

One storage system that may be ideally suited for this purpose consists of a frame with the potential to store as many or as few items as necessary. The frame fits against a wall and once secured will provide a sturdy and yet lightweight basis for the storage.

Several storage units are typically available to be attached to this particular frame. An open storage unit, for example, usually has plenty of room for the storage and organisation of files, documents, envelopes, items of stationery and so forth.

If they are stacked vertically, a lid is only needed for the top unit. Sometimes there is an open storage unit with a fixed centre shelf. This provides more flexibility and better storage for small items.

For the storage of larger items, work wear, tools or reams of photocopy or pc printer paper; there are bulk storage units. Lightweight but strong, these usually have adjustable shelves which may stored flat when not being used.

Wire baskets, made from heavy duty steel mesh are ideal for the storage of items that may need to be easily seen. Bottles, mail and work clothing are some of the things perfect for this sort of storage unit.
