Frequently asked questions
What is a lab stool used for?
A lab stool is a height adjustable ergonomic stool designed for use at elevated workbenches, laboratory benches and technical workstations. Unlike standard office chairs, lab stools feature a gas lift for tall seat heights, a footring for elevated foot support, and durable upholstery suited to laboratory and workshop environments.
What is the difference between a lab stool and a drafting stool?
Lab stools and drafting stools are essentially the same product — a height adjustable stool with gas lift, footring and backrest designed for bench-height seating. “Lab stool” is the term commonly used in laboratory, medical and scientific environments, while “drafting stool” or “draughtsman stool” is the term used in architectural, engineering and technical drawing contexts. Both refer to the same type of ergonomic elevated stool.
Why is a footring important on a lab stool?
At bench height, your feet can’t rest flat on the floor — without foot support, your legs dangle, cutting off circulation and causing fatigue. The footring provides a stable resting surface for your feet, reducing leg fatigue and improving posture during extended periods of bench-height work.
What height range does the gas lift cover?
The pneumatic gas lift adjusts the seat height to suit standard laboratory bench and workbench heights. Contact us for specific height range specifications for your bench configuration.
