Seat height range
Standard lab stools adjust roughly 22"–32" seat height; drafting and hood stools extend higher. Measure your bench working height and we will recommend a stool range.

Lab Chairs & Stools in San Jose & the Bay Area
Bench work in labs, pharmacies, and manufacturing QC stations demands seating that adjusts quickly, cleans easily, and supports neutral posture at variable counter heights. BT Express stocks lab chairs and stools with pneumatic height adjustment, foot rings, and vinyl or polyurethane seats that tolerate disinfectants. Inventory includes drafting-height stools for fume hoods and standard lab-chair configurations for 36" bench heights. We supply Bay Area biotech, university research, and medical facilities that need dozens of matching stools on short timelines. New and used options appear in our warehouse depending on incoming loads. Visit our San Jose showroom to test height range and stability, or send your bench height and quantity for a tailored quote from live inventory.
