Description

The PU550 is a desk-height polyurethane lab stool — a compact, wipe-clean seat for seated benches around 720–750 mm, built for busy shared labs. Purchased over 1,207 times to date.

For standing benches around 900 mm, specify the bench-height PU552; where more seat comfort is wanted, see the upholstered OF510. 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.

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.

Who buys from us

The PU stool range is on teaching and research benches at Imperial College London, the University of Sheffield, University College London and Tate & Lyle Sugars.

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.
