Who makes (or who sells) anti-static chairs or stools?

Looking for a source for office-style chairs that are anti-static.

Looking for the type of chair you'd find in an office environment
(padded, mid to high-back, rocking, swivel, height-adjustable, with or
without arm rests, 5-legs, on rollers, etc). Plus a few chairs
(sort-of like steno chairs, no arm rests, a little higher for
electronic assembly and repair).

Pretty much all sources for office furniture are ignorant when it
comes to anti-static chairs. You would think that in cold climates
where office spaces are not humidified (and are carpeted) that
anti-static chairs would be easier to find.

So, does anyone know who (in US/Canada) makes or sells such chairs?

(please post any replies here and don't try to e-mail answers to me
since that's not a real e-mail address).

Thanx.

I don't know of any. (Maybe that's why you don't see chairs in
semiconductor clean rooms. <g>) But you can get anti-static spray
for treating arbitrary carpets and upholstery, and that might be
an alternative.

A one half solution of Downey fabric softener and distilled water sprayed
lightly on the carpet will go a long way.
Jensen Tools sells grounding wrist straps and floor mats which might be a
better way to go than a chair...

And you need a grounded anti-static floor mat for the chair's grounding
bead chain to connect to(by drag).
Also anti-static shoes or heel/toe straps.(had to wear these at
Tektronix,but didn't have anti-static chairs.Had the floor mats,too,along
with anti-static smocks and wrist straps.)

Except there's no way to know the day-day conductivity of that method(it's
too inconsistent)

Which have to use heel or toe straps or anti-static shoes.

I'm not any expert on this,but IMO,a wrist strap is sufficient,if
maintained,checked daily,and used properly.

Global (www.globalindustrial.com) has "ESD" chair & stool
(model CP571134 and CP185673) at $135 & $178 each. Uses conductive
material with less than 1 Mohm resistance & even has a drag chain !!!

I appreciate the need for state-of-the-art grounding techniques when
it comes to electronic assembly, production areas, clean-rooms, etc.

I am looking for a solution for the typical office environment, where
in the winter indoor humidities can be very low, and the majority of
static buildup seems to be not necessarily from walking on carpet, but
from getting into and out of chairs. (and the use of grounding mats,
clips and straps are not desirable).

It seems that the rubbing of one textile against another causes a
large static buildup that I was hoping could be alleviated by a
different construction of the chair (exterior fabric and/or interior
padding).

Well,the chair is only part of the problem. IMO,the best and simplest
method would be to introduce more humidity into your office. 40-60% RH is
the desired range. That might even be cheaper than buying anti-static
office chairs! Even a portable humidifier would suffice.

The one I have at work is a Lyon Metal Products Model No. 2056 deluxe
ESD chair, says it's made in Germany, assemnbled in U.S.A. Maybe that
info will get you closer to what you want.
