Perch Life Pneumatic Medical Stool | Height Adjustable Rolling Exam Stool

The Perch Life is a commercial-grade pneumatic exam stool for medical, dental, laboratory, and optometry settings — a rolling task stool built for staff who reseat dozens of times a day and need a surface that wipes clean between patients. The 360° All-Around lever sets height from any side, not from a single fixed point, and the compact 14.5" armless seat fits tight operatories, exam rooms, and lab benches, tucking fully under a counter between patients. Every component is specified for daily clinical use.

A stool's service life is decided at three points: the welds, the casters, and the cylinder. The Life's base is reinforced fiberglass nylon and steel, and the casters are self-braking and non-marking.

Configure the Life to your facility: two height ranges (desk or medium bench), commercial-grade vinyl or fabric upholstery, casters or glides, and an optional foot ring.

View colors: Vinyl QuickShip, Fabric QuickShip, All Vinyl Choices. Additional charges apply on non-QuickShip colors. Specialty colors are made to order. Monitor color accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Note that dye from denim and similar dark textiles can transfer permanently to light-colored upholstery — a consideration when specifying pale vinyls.

View casters / glides: 2 Choices — Black dual-wheel, self-braking, non-marking casters (standard), or glides.

• Seat: 14.5" diameter top with a 3.5" thick foam seating surface. Armless.
• Upholstery (2 choices): Spradling® Patriot Plus commercial-grade vinyl with a PermaBlok® topcoat — closed-pore and non-porous, cleanable with 10% isopropyl alcohol or a 1:9 bleach solution — or heavy-duty commercial fabric over molded polyurethane foam. Specify vinyl for clinical rooms with a disinfection protocol; fabric for offices, labs, and workstations where breathability matters more than wipe-down.
• Vinyl testing: 200,000 double rubs (Wyzenbeek, ASTM D4157) against a 30,000 contract heavy-duty benchmark · healthcare stain resistance (CFFA 201-C 142) · accelerated disinfectant exposure (CFFA-101) · formaldehyde free, no heavy metals, no antimicrobial additives, Prop 65 and RoHS compliant · SCS Indoor Advantage™ Gold. Approved disinfectants include CaviWipes, Super Sani-Cloth, Clorox Healthcare, Oxivir TB, Dispatch, Virex II and Wex-Cide — full manufacturer list on request.
• Adjustment: 360° All-Around pneumatic height lever, reachable from any side under the seat.
• Height (2 options): Desk Height 18-23"; Medium Bench Height 20.75-27.75". Check the Seat Height Guide
  → Note: pneumatic cylinders compress 1–2" under load — this is normal; factor it into your height selection.
• Base: 5-leg, 20" diameter, reinforced fiberglass nylon.
• Casters / Glides (2 choices): Black dual-wheel casters (standard) roll across both hard floors and carpet. They are self-braking, with a safety lock that engages when the seat is unweighted — so the stool stays put as you sit down or stand up, rather than sliding out from under you. Non-marking, so they won't leave tracks on finished floors. Glides are the fixed alternative that hold the stool in one place.
• Optional Foot Ring: adjustable 18" cast aluminum chrome or 18" cast black nylon.
• Weight Capacity: 250 lbs.
• Product Weight: 15 lbs.
• 15-Year Warranty · Lifetime Cylinder Guarantee. 15 years against defects in materials and workmanship, 5 years on upholstery, and a replacement gas cylinder at no charge for the life of the stool.
