Lab Stools, Drafting Stools and Science Stools

Stools are typically used in school science labs, but have many uses beyond a science lab stool. Drafting stools and drafting chairs are ideal for school art rooms, studios or architectural firms. Teachers often prefer a teacher’s stool when instructing in front of a class to easily get up and move about, rather than a standard school chair. For professional, medical or office settings, there are padded upholstered stools, office stools with foot rings and stools with casters for easy movement. While there are fixed height stools available in several fixed heights, the adjustable height stools create a dynamic seating solution. Adjustable stools are excellent when working at unusual height tables such as science lab tables or drafting tables. Lab stools are similar to task chairs, and usually come with standard masonite seats, but features can be added to create padded seat stools, wooden seat stools, stools with backrests or stools with glides. For a splash of color, choose either a solid plastic stool or a soft plastic stool that feature colored seats and backs. Metal stools have enamel or powder-coated frames that range in color and are welded to withstand use as classroom stools or school science stools. Solid oak stools are all wood and are available in several sizes for use by a range of lab students. For the professional setting, we also have office stools that have padded upholstered seats and backs.

TIP: Always keep in mind the height of the table or work surface that the stool will be used at and allow at least 8 or 9 inches of space from the table top and the top of the stool seat.
