Do you still have file cabinets? If not, what did you do with all those files? And the cabinet? [View all]

I have one that has been consigned to our basement and I don't know what to do with it. I fear I will have to paw through it for some long, lost documents.

On the bright side, maybe there are some long, lost love letters...sounds like a project...
