I have a 5 drawer flat file in my craft room and I have stored various things in it over the years. It is on the floor and I have other items stacked on the top of it. Because of where I need to have it it's not a really practical to have something that I access everyday there For example I had my rubber stamps in it for a while but it didn't work well for me. I have my rubber stamps in a difference file in a different location in my craft room that works much better for me. Punches will not fit well in there either I have too many large punches.
However I feel like I'm really under utilizing the flat file and I'm currently having great debates with myself, about whether to keep it or not. If you have a flat file or similar storage what do you use it for?Thanks!

I'm not much help, since I use my psuedo "flat file" (ie a long-ago discontinued Pottery Barn Bedford 5-drawer desk-height cabinet) to store wood mounted stamps, inks, & stamp accessories.
If you have a traditional steel (or wood) flat file with the ~2"H drawers, consider using it to store seasonal/holiday supplies that you wouldn't need to access everyday. For example, winter/football/hockey/Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/NYE/MLKJr Day/Valentines/Mardi Gras/etc.-specific patterned papers, stencils, embossing folders, & embellishments in one drawer; summer/beach/travel/vacation/camping/baseball/Independence Day/etc related papers, stencils, embossing folders, & embellishments in another; & so on.

You could use one drawer to hold your extra adhesives and foam dots/squares.
Cricut mats and vinyl?
I don't think I'd like it on the floor. Could you build a frame to life it up a bit?

I just googled this so I know how it looks, I have somethingsimilar I got mine at the containerstore.
* Pencils,markers
* brushes
* cube inkpads
* small jars of glitter paste, brusho
* sequins ( I have a collection of tiny jam jars the kind you get at breakfast in a hotel I use them to hold my sequins, if you keep it upside down you can see what you have in it) the dollar stores has some plastic organizer for beads or small things.
