Another construction that aims to be the tallest filing cabinet in the world was built by a man named Samual Yates. This is made up of 60 individual drawers stacked and welded together, and currently holds the spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The structure is a piece of art that the creator named “Untitled (Minuet in MG)”. Yates’ professional website states that: “The seven-story tall sculpture … contains a 1974 MG Midget sportscar that was donated, shredded, steamrolled, photographed, bagged, labeled, numbered, and filed by weight from heaviest to lightest in milligrams (mgs) – an MG in mgs.”
