NPS WOOD SERIES SCIENCE LAB TABLES
Build the right workspace.
Start with the right surface.
Choose a wood-frame science table around the work your classroom actually does. The NPS Wood Series pairs a solid ash frame with a choice of phenolic, Chem-Res or HPL surfaces, two fixed heights and six tabletop footprints in this range.
Your selected configuration: Choose a height, tabletop size and surface to see verified configuration details. Confirm the selected catalog number before ordering.

Three decisions. One exact model.
1 · Choose the working height
30″ and 36″ are separate, fixed-height table models. Choose the height for your users and activity; the glides level the table rather than convert it between these heights.
2 · Fit the room
The available footprints run from 24″ × 48″ to 30″ × 72″. Plan the tabletop, chair or stool space, circulation and equipment access together.
3 · Match the surface to the work
Phenolic, Chem-Res and HPL are different constructions, not interchangeable names for a black worktop. Choose for your actual chemical exposure and work practices.
Phenolic, Chem-Res or HPL: which tabletop do you need?
Start with the activities planned for the room, then match the top to the chemicals, concentrations, contact times and temperatures involved.
Phenolic · solid resin work surface
¾″ solid phenolic resin with a black matte finish and beveled edge. A useful starting point when chemical exposure is a more important selection factor than on a general classroom table.
Solid phenolic does not use the particleboard-core construction of the laminate options. It is not a substitute for checking compatibility with your specific chemicals or hot equipment.
Chem-Res · chemical-resistant laminate
1″ tabletop with a particleboard core, chemical-resistant laminate surface and 3 mm PVC edge banding. Consider it for classroom experiments that need more chemical-resistance capability than general-purpose HPL.
Chemical-resistant does not mean resistant to every chemical or unlimited exposure. Match the top to your intended reagents and cleaning procedure.
HPL · general classroom work
The science-table HPL option uses a 1⅛″ particleboard-core top with a laminate surface and Vinyl T-mold edge. Consider it for general classroom and non-demanding science activities rather than choosing it solely because it looks like the other black tops.
HPL is not the same surface as Chem-Res. Do not infer broad laboratory chemical or heat compatibility from the laminate name.
See how the six tabletop footprints compare
The same-scale diagram shows the difference between a longer 24″-wide table and a wider 30″-wide work surface. Tabletop dimensions do not establish legroom, accessible approach space or a guaranteed number of seats.
A wood frame with reinforced connections
The Wood Series uses 2¼″ square solid ash legs and metal-on-metal double-bolt leg attachment through 13-gauge steel corner braces. The reinforced joints connect the legs securely to the frame while keeping the attachment hardware accessible for inspection.
The assembly instructions show how the legs, washers and lock nuts fit together. Assemble on a protected surface and periodically check fasteners as directed by NPS.
Level the table. Protect the leg ends.
Adjustable glides help level the work surface on an uneven floor. Rubber boots cover the lower leg ends to help protect against spills.
Glide adjustment is for floor leveling. If you need a table that changes working height, compare a purpose-built adjustable-height model rather than treating the 30″ and 36″ wood tables as adjustable versions of one table.
What you receive and what to plan separately
The configured table
One table in the selected catalog configuration: tabletop, wood frame and legs, corner-brace attachment hardware, protective boots and leveling glides. Assembly is required.
Not included in these base SKUs
Stools, chairs, microscopes, laboratory equipment, book compartments and caster kits are not included. Pictures of a room or workflow are not a kit-contents list.
For a classroom or multi-table order
Tell Blue Tiger the exact configurations, quantities and full delivery address. Confirm current dispatch timing, freight and any liftgate or inside-delivery requirements before placing a time-critical order.
Put the full workspace together
For a room with different teaching or equipment stations, compare other laboratory tables and browse National Public Seating products available through Blue Tiger Scientific. Related seating is a separate purchase; choose seat height and under-table fit for your actual table and users.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the dimensions of my selected table?
Choose a height, tabletop size and surface in the selector, then check the selected catalog number and Specifications for that exact configuration. The family includes six footprints at 30-inch and 36-inch fixed heights; dimensions do not apply universally to every model.
Are the 30-inch and 36-inch wood science tables height adjustable?
No. SLT1 and SLT2 designate separate fixed-height Wood Series tables: 30 inches and 36 inches respectively. The adjustable glides are for floor leveling, not for changing a 30-inch table into a 36-inch table.
What is the difference between phenolic, Chem-Res and HPL?
Phenolic is a solid resin tabletop. Chem-Res is a chemical-resistant laminate surface over a particleboard core. HPL is a general-purpose laminate option. The surface name alone is not a chemical-compatibility guarantee; choose using your actual chemicals, contact times and temperatures.
What tabletop sizes are offered in this range?
The six footprints are 24 × 48, 24 × 54, 24 × 60, 24 × 72, 30 × 60 and 30 × 72 inches, listed as width × length. Each is represented in the approved range at 30-inch and 36-inch fixed heights with phenolic, Chem-Res and HPL options.
Does this table include stools, book compartments or casters?
No. The base catalog configurations on this listing do not include stools, chairs, book compartments or caster kits. Any equipment or seating shown in a contextual image is a separate item.
How thick is the phenolic tabletop?
NPS specifies a ¾-inch solid phenolic tabletop for the Wood Series phenolic option, with a black matte finish and beveled edge. This is different from the 1-inch Chem-Res and 1⅛-inch science-table HPL constructions.
Does the table arrive assembled?
Assembly is required. NPS instructions show the four legs attached through the corner braces with washers and lock nuts, plus protective boots and leveling glides. Use the Assembly Instructions download for the procedure and periodically check fasteners as directed.
Can I get a freight quote for several tables?
Yes. Contact Blue Tiger Scientific with the exact model numbers, quantities and full shipping address. Include whether the destination is commercial or residential and whether it has a loading dock or needs a liftgate. Freight and current dispatch timing must be confirmed for your order.
