Abstract: A pedestal seat for supporting the weight of a user at a work station includes a seat and a pedestal which is secured to the floor adjacent the work station, and a support arm pivotally mounted on the pedestal and connected to the seat. The pedestal includes a vertically extending column and a base integrally connected to the column. The base extends symmetrically outwardly on both sides of the column and a reinforcing flange extends between the top of the column and an end of the base with a reinforcing web of reduced material thickness extending between the flange and the column and base. A footrest is movably mounted on either side of the reinforcing web. The column is formed integrally with the base intermediate the sides, with the base and column being symmetrical about a vertical plane which passes through the center of the column.
