In the floating desk build we saw a few weeks ago I make some DIY Filing Cabinet Out Of Wood as the legs of the floating desk in the corner. I actually made two wood cabinets, one was a filing cabinet and one was more of a set of desk drawers with various different drawer sizes. These are a very simple woodworking project that are a huge improvement in space and looks compared to an old nasty metal filing cabinet. These are much deeper so you can put way more files in them but are an easy build that you can quickly complete and makeover your office space.

The cabinets are made from a combination of 1/2" and 3/4" plywood. 1/2" for the drawers and 3/4" for the cabinets and the drawer fronts. You will need a bit of edge banding, some drawers slides and a few other items that are all called out in the material list of the plans.
