Under the desk or beside it
Height is what decides this. Anything under about 27 inches clears a standard 29 to 30 inch desk and can live in the knee well or beside the pedestal. Taller cabinets in this range are meant to stand against a wall and work as a surface.
Rolling or fixed
A cabinet on casters can be pulled out when you need it and pushed back when you do not, which suits a shared room. Fixed cabinets sit more solidly and are the better choice if the top will hold a printer.
What locks and what does not
Most of these lock, usually on both drawers from a single barrel with two keys. Read the product page rather than the title: on some cabinets the only locking part is the casters, which is a brake and not security.
