I don't know if anyone here can help, but I'm a bit out of ideas. My company is looking for those black top tables that you typically see in middle school science rooms, ideally used. I don't know if there are any schools that may have recently closed that I can contact, but any leads at all would be appreciated. Thank you!

Every time I see anything about construction junction, I always think of Schoolhouse Rock.

what you're looking for are soapstone tables- they're super cool! A lot of schools threw them out in the past decade or so because soapstone can contain asbestos. Well, what we call "soapstone" at least. It's not really a big deal unless you're grinding down the table or generating dust, but you know... people worry.

They're super cool though, I always keep my eyes peeled as well. I've definitely seen a few at construction junction over the years.

There's also secondhand lab equipment auction companies that you can find through google.

FYI, "lab bench" is what you're looking for. Hope the term helps.
