    FAQs

    What is a drafting chair used for?

    Drafting chairs are designed for use at higher work surfaces such as drafting tables, standing desks, counters, and reception desks. They provide additional seat height and foot support compared to standard office chairs.

    How is a drafting chair different from a standard office chair?

    Drafting chairs are taller and typically include a foot ring for added support. They are designed to keep your posture aligned when working at elevated desks, whereas standard office chairs are intended for regular desk heights.

    What should I look for in a drafting chair?

    When choosing a drafting chair, consider factors like ergonomic design, adjustability, durability, and comfort. Look for features such as adjustable height, footrests, and lumbar support to ensure a comfortable and productive work experience.

    How do I choose the right drafting chair?

    When choosing a drafting chair, consider:

    • Seat height range to match your desk or counter height.
    • Foot ring placement for comfort and stability.
    • Ergonomic features such as back support and adjustability.
    • Materials and durability for your specific work environment.

    Are drafting chairs ergonomic?

    • Mesh, for breathability in active workspaces.
    • Fabric or vinyl upholstery, for durability and easy maintenance.
