Workshop Stools FAQs

What are the benefits of workshop chairs?

Workshop chairs and stools are beneficial for workers who perform various tasks in workshop settings. Some of the benefits are:

• They provide comfortable seating and support for the workers’ posture, reducing fatigue and strain on the muscles and joints.
• They encourage ‘active sitting’, which helps strengthen core and back muscles, resulting in improved comfort and reducing risk of back pain.
• They enhance productivity and efficiency by allowing workers to adjust their position, height and angle according to the task at hand.
• They prevent injuries and accidents by ensuring stability, mobility and safety for the workers.

What is the height of a workshop stool?

Many of the seats in our range can reach a maximum height of 1210mm. Check the product specification for details or use our Filter By toggle to find the right chair for you.
