Description

The 005 is our best-selling upholstered bench-height lab chair — the standard choice of UK research, pharma and university teaching labs for standing benches around 900 mm. A fully adjustable backrest, 2-lever mechanism and adjustable footring, with added seat comfort for longer tasks. Purchased over 2,784 times to date.

Choose the 005 where staff spend longer spells seated at the bench and comfort matters. For frequent wash-down or chemical splash, the Deluxe PU 001 is the wipe-clean alternative; for a seated desk around 720–750 mm, specify the desk-height 006. Not sure? Use the lab chair height guide.

Seat materials

Two options, both included in the price. Xtreme Fabric (100% recycled) is the more comfortable choice for longer seated spells. Vinyl wipes clean and suits shared stations and busier benches. See the full colour and materials range.

Feet or castors

Supplied with feet as standard, which is usually right for a tall chair at a standing bench. Castors are available at a price uplift — specify soft-tyre for hard or vinyl flooring, and lock-off or lock-down castors where the chair must stay put. Consider the safety requirements of your working environment before choosing castors on a high chair.

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 005

Supplied to research and teaching benches at Moderna, the University of Oxford, the Royal College of Surgeons of England, McLaren Racing, Procter & Gamble and the British Antarctic Survey.

Ordering

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.
