A knock-down file cabinet and in particular, a vertical file cabinet wherein both the cabinet housing and each of the drawers have a knock-down construction. The drawers use either separate components that are slidably fitted together, or a single sheet of material that defines the bottom, side and back walls. Each drawer construction is usable within the cabinet housing so as to define a complete knock-down vertical file cabinet which can be readily shipped in a relatively, compact container or package and thereafter assembled together.

A drawer slide for a drawer-type storage unit allowing a drawer to be horizontally moved from the storage unit to allow access into the interior of the drawer. The drawer slide is vertically symmetrical about a central longitudinal plane perpendicular to the side surfaces of the drawer slide. A cantilevered tongue, loop-like bracket, and latch are vertically symmetrically positioned on a support rail of the drawer slide. The tongue is receivable in a slot in a vertical mounting rail in the storage unit. The bracket is received in an opening of a vertical mounting rail. The latch engages a further slot in a vertical mounting rail to prevent accidental disengagement of the slide rail from the mounting rails. The vertical symmetry of the drawer slide allows the drawer slides to be used on either side of the storage unit with only a front and back orientation.
