National Public Seating's strong and sturdy science tables with book compartments are a necessity for your science lab. Built from solid ash wood with an attractive polyurethane clear finish, our science lab tables are perfect for many science and chemistry classrooms. HPL tabletops provide an exceptional work surface and are made with a high-pressure laminate that has been tested according to NEMA standards to resist scratches, boiling water, high temperatures, and many forms of stains, including a number of acids. Also exceeds 1800 wear cycles and over 125 inches of ball impact resistance. HPL tabletops come equipped with our top-of-the-line ribbed-tongue T-molding. The table legs are assembled with a 13-gauge, heavy-duty steel brace attached with a metal-on-metal double-bolt connection for superior durability and to provide a no-wobble experience. NPS science tables offer a choice of book compartments or solid front aprons, with an industry top-of-the-line ash wood frame and legs outfitted with rubber liquid-protecting leg boots and adjustable glides for accurate floor leveling.
Manufacturing or shipping defect leads to easily marred surface. First one had highly visible chipped off area exposing the wood composite underlay of the desk table top. Even second replacement top has noticeable scratch that we will live with. Table top is a very heavy piece! The replacement process has left us with the choice of a difficult disposal ourselves or another appointment for pick up of the defective piece. Wayfair handles these manufacturers’s issues readily and wisely. Very much recommend them. Manufacturer needs to fix packaging or inspection. Not sure which.. Kathy. Cambridge, MA. Mon Feb 07 2022
