Lab Stools and Science Stools

Science Lab Stools for Schools: Learning in the Lab

Science lab stools are an essential component of any school science classroom, providing students with the appropriate seating for hands-on learning at lab tables. However, these versatile stools are not just confined to the science lab; they can serve a variety of functions throughout a school environment. Available in both fixed height and adjustable height options, science lab stools offer dynamic seating solutions to accommodate different workspaces. Adjustable lab stools, in particular, are ideal for use at science lab tables and other workstations with unique height requirements, allowing for greater flexibility in seating.

Lab stools typically come with standard masonite seats, but can be customized with features such as padded seats, wooden seats, backrests, or glides for added comfort and functionality. For those looking to add a pop of color to their science classroom, solid plastic or soft plastic stools with colored seats and backs are great options. Metal lab stools, often equipped with enamel or powder-coated frames, are built to withstand the rigorous use of a school environment, making them an excellent choice for science classrooms. For a more traditional aesthetic, solid oak lab stools provide a sturdy, all-wood option in various sizes, suitable for students of all ages.

**TIP:** Always keep in mind the height of the table or work surface where the stool will be used, and allow at least 8 to 9 inches of space between the tabletop and the top of the stool seat to ensure comfort and proper posture.
