Plastic laminate material is a much better option if you are on a low budget. The disadvantage of plastic laminated material is its short lifespan. Due to their fragile nature, it is important to identify the use of your furniture before making a purchase. Stainless steel is a very popular and durable laboratory furniture material. Despite its high cost, this material easily withstands daily wear and tear. The versatile nature of stainless steel furniture also makes it an excellent choice for laboratories that place the highest importance on good hygiene. Wooden furniture, on the other hand, exudes high aesthetic appeal. These types of furniture are not as expensive as metal and stainless steel furniture. Phenol resin is a durable material that can resist corrosion, just like steel. However, furniture made from phenolic resin is much more affordable than fixtures made from stainless steel. Finally, polypropylene is a very expensive furniture material. The material is ideally suited for use in acidic environments.
