The advantage is the projection. A lateral unit is wide and its drawers pull out only a short distance, so it works in a walkway or a narrow room where a vertical cabinet would make the space unusable when open. Files sit side to side rather than front to back, which also makes browsing a run faster. Check the rail direction. See filing cabinets, tambour cabinets and suspension files.
