The two ranges that do most of the storing in a working office. Impulse cupboards and bookcases come in four heights, so you can run a low unit behind a desk, a mid-height one that doubles as a worktop, or a full-height cupboard against a wall, with Impulse shelves and side filers to match. The Qube side is steel: a two-door stationery cupboard, a side tambour whose doors slide instead of swinging into a walkway, and roll out shelves. Wood blends with desking, steel takes more abuse. Both sit inside storage and filing.
Choosing a cupboard or bookcase
Decide what height you want the top to land at before anything else. A low cupboard around 730mm matches standard desk height, so it can butt against the end of a run and give a continuous surface for a printer or a kettle. Mid-height units around 1200mm are the ones people reach into without a step, and taller than that is archive space. Depth catches people out: a lever arch file needs roughly 320mm clear, so a shallow bookcase that looks neat will not take your files.
Then think about how the doors open. A hinged two-door cupboard needs around half a metre of clear swing, which is fine on a wall and awkward in a corridor, and that is where a tambour like the Qube earns its place. For a full wall of matched steel, the Qube steel storage system runs on one module, with more in steel storage and office cupboards.
Building a storage wall
Storage works better as a plan than a purchase. Paper that moves daily belongs in filing cabinets or a mobile unit from pedestals and drawers, leaving the cupboard for box files and stationery. Display goes on shelving, and in a room furnished in Impulse desking the matching pieces in Impulse storage share the same finish.
