Description
The 302 is an ESD anti-static desk-height lab chair with a wipe-clean static-dissipative vinyl seat, for seated electronics assembly, inspection and test positions around 720–750 mm. Purchased over 2,095 times to date.
An ESD chair is built with static-dissipative materials throughout, so the chair itself does not accumulate charge. It protects the workpiece alongside — not instead of — wrist straps, grounded surfaces and ESD flooring. Where operators prefer an upholstered fabric seat, specify the fabric-seat 202; for a standing bench around 900 mm, the matching model is the bench-height 301. The lab chair height guide confirms which fits.
Seat material
Static-dissipative vinyl — wipes clean and stands up to production use. See the materials and colours page.
Feet or castors
Feet and castor options are selectable above. Castors carry a price uplift — soft-tyre castors are recommended for hard or vinyl flooring, and lock-off or lock-down castors hold the chair in position where it must not move.
Accessories
Available to order with a seat slide (adjusts seat depth for taller or shorter users), adjustable arms, ring arms (better where fixed arms would foul the bench), lumbar support or seat tilt. Priced individually — see the accessories page or ask on your quote.
Who uses the 302
Supplied to semiconductor and electronics benches at BAE Systems, Plessey Semiconductors, Micron Semiconductor and Oxford PV.

Purchase orders accepted, VAT invoice supplied. Volume pricing from 4 units. Delivery included to mainland Britain. UK support and spares available — we have been supplying laboratory and technical seating since 1986.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What bench height does the 302 suit?
- The 302 is a desk-height chair. Its seat adjusts from 460mm to 580mm, which suits seated / desk-height benches around 750 mm high. If you’re not sure, send us your bench height and we’ll confirm the right model.
- What is the weight capacity of the 302?
- The 302 is fitted with a 20-stone gas strut, which is approximately 127 kg.
- Is the 302 suitable for ESD workstations?
- Yes. The 302 is a fully earthed anti-static (ESD) chair. Every part is anti-static: the seat and backrest are earthed to the chassis, which connects through the chromed gas lift to the polished aluminium base and to ground via conductive ESD castors or glides. It has Hi-Tech Fabric or Medistat vinyl upholstery (both dissipative), with a resistance to ground that does not exceed 10^10 ohms, tested with an OHM-STAT megohmmeter. It suits ESD workstations, electronics assembly and static-sensitive labs.
- Can I have feet or castors on the 302?
- The 302 comes with ESD soft-tyre castors as standard. ESD lock-off and lock-down castors, and ESD glides, are available for a price uplift. All options keep the chair’s anti-static path to ground intact; soft-tyre castors are recommended for hard or vinyl flooring.
- What guarantee and delivery apply to the 302?
- UK mainland delivery is included in the price. Delivery to the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland is quoted on request. Every chair comes with a 5-year guarantee against normal wear and tear from the date of delivery, used under normal conditions during a conventional working day. In a shift or 24/7 working environment the guarantee is 2 years from the date of delivery. Purchase orders accepted from schools, colleges, universities, NHS trusts, government organisations and registered businesses. VAT invoice supplied. On finance systems we may appear as Mark Finn Lab Furniture or Lab Tables.
