Description
The PU554 is a desk-height ESD anti-static stool with a moulded polyurethane seat — the simplest seat in the ESD range, for seated electronics positions around 720–750 mm. Purchased over 1,512 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. For a standing bench around 900 mm, specify the bench-height PU556; where operators want a backrest, see the 302. The lab chair height guide confirms the fit.
Seat
A moulded polyurethane seat — solid, seam-free and wipe-clean. It tolerates routine laboratory cleaning agents and shrugs off knocks, spills and daily wash-down, which is why PU is the default choice for busy shared benches. The dissipative PU seat has no fabric to shed or trap contamination.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What bench height does the PU554 suit?
- The PU554 is a low-height stool. Its seat adjusts from 400mm to 530mm, 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 PU554?
- The PU554 is fitted with a 20-stone gas strut, which is approximately 127 kg.
- Is the PU554 suitable for ESD workstations?
- Yes. The PU554 is a fully earthed anti-static (ESD) stool. 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 a dissipative moulded polyurethane seat, 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 PU554?
- The PU554 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 PU554?
- UK mainland delivery is included in the price. Delivery to the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland is quoted on request. Every stool 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.
