Also check the height of the stanchions, and whether they can be cut down if they're too tall. I got a local engineering company to cut 70 for me. Lastly, check if they're vinyl-clad or carpeted. Lifters for carpeted ones are relatively uncommon and expensive (I discovered this when we lost one recently and I had quite a task finding a decent replacement), plus carpeted ones tend to make for more dust and static, to say nothing of the problems of solder splashes, oily dirt, etc. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
