Types of Lab Furniture
Science Lab Tables
Science lab tables are the centerpiece of any lab. They provide a sturdy surface for experiments. These tables must be strong and resistant to chemicals, ensuring they last long and stay safe. Good science lab tables also have smooth surfaces for easy cleaning and adjustable heights for comfort.
Students learn best when they can perform experiments themselves. Proper lab furniture provides the space and tools needed for various activities. For example, science lab tables often come with sinks or gas fixtures, allowing students to do a wide range of experiments. Visit our online store to see our education storage products.
Safety & Lab Furniture
Educational lab furniture is designed to keep everyone safe. Tables and benches are made from materials that resist spills, fire, and chemicals.
Furniture also incorporates features like rounded edges, non-slip surfaces, and secure storage for hazardous materials. These surfaces are designed for easy cleaning, ensuring spills can be wiped up quickly and tables can be sanitized between uses.
Additionally, properly designed lab stools and chairs ensure that students maintain good posture and reduce the risk of accidents.
Collaborative Lab Furniture
Modern science lab furniture encourages collaborative learning. Tables and workstations are often larger and shaped to accommodate multiple students. This setup encourages students to gather around and work on experiments or projects as a group.
By aiding face-to-face interaction, these furniture pieces make it easier for students to communicate and collaborate.
Many educational labs use modular tables. These tables are mobile to facilitate group work and discussions. This makes it simple for students to work in groups. For instance, mobile lab benches and tables promote an interactive learning environment.
Lab Furniture & Technology
Today’s lab furniture must incorporate technology like computers, tablets, interactive whiteboards, projectors, and cable management. Science lab tables often have built-in power outlets and data ports for computers and other devices during experiments.
These features support STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education and prepare students for future scientific work.
Benefits of Proper Lab Furniture
Organization and Efficiency
A well-organized lab is an efficient lab. Proper storage solutions for equipment, tools, and materials are crucial.
Cabinets, shelves, and drawers keep tools and materials organized. This makes it easier to find what you need quickly. An organized lab promotes efficiency, allowing more time to be spent on learning and experiments rather than searching for supplies.
Comfort and Usability
Comfortable furniture helps students focus during long lab sessions. Ergonomic chairs and stools should be adjustable so students can work comfortably.
Moreover, lab furniture must be accessible to all students, including those with disabilities. Adjustable height tables and easy-to-reach storage units ensure that every student can participate fully in lab activities.
Sustainable
Choosing eco-friendly lab furniture reduces environmental impact and costs over time. Strong furniture that can handle heavy use and chemicals lasts longer, saving money and resources in the long run.

Education Testimonials
“Southwest Solutions Group is the best managed team I’ve seen in the 15 years I’ve been working on campus, bar none. You could give lessons to some of the other contractors we do business with at WSU! Every detail was perfectly coordinated, including keeping the jobsite clean…. thank you!”
“Just wanted to reach out and tell you how pleased I am with the renovation. I have been at SMU for quite a long time and for a while I thought that I was destined for inefficient, terrible storage spaces. The transformation that took place was absolutely mind blowing. Chester, Jay, and Marco were absolutely remarkable. They were true professionals and worked extremely well together as a team. I am hoping to find other under-utilized rooms just so I can have them come out again and make them functional. They were able to complete the job even though a whole day was lost due to a power outage on our campus. I thoroughly enjoyed their time on campus and want you to know that these guys are a valuable asset to your company. Again, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you and your team.”
“Daryl, your guys are AWESOME! Your installation team just disassembled the sliding file cabinets and are heading over to the new facility. Your installers were very efficient and nice. This is a huge improvement from our experience with the other vendor. It is nice to work with professionals. Thanks for the great job!”
“Derek and Patrick wrapped up round one just a bit ago. I wanted to let you know that everything went well. The guys were super to work with, very efficient and cordial, and I believe they left the space tidier than when they arrived! I know they will be back to finish the workbench cabinets in a couple of weeks, but I wanted to say thank you to them and you for your help with outfitting our lab. Please let them know I appreciate everything they did!”
