Page 3 of Drafting Chairs & Stools

What are drafting chairs, and what are the differences between drafting chairs vs. office chairs?

Drafting chairs are built for taller workspaces, with breathable mesh backrests, adjustable heights, footrests, and lumbar support for comfort. They work best with standing or adjustable-height desks, while office chairs are lower and designed for standard desks. If your desk is elevated, a drafting chair offers better ergonomics—otherwise, an office chair is the way to go.

What are the benefits of drafting stool chairs?

Drafting stools are designed for comfort and ergonomics at taller workspaces. Many feature adjustable seat heights, helping you align with your desk to reduce neck strain. Contoured backs and seats provide lumbar support, while memory foam cushions adapt over time to reduce pressure and discomfort. Whether you're working at a standing desk or an elevated surface, drafting stools help you stay comfortable and supported.

What industries would benefit from drafting chairs?

Drafting chairs are ideal for industries that require higher work surfaces and mobility. They’re commonly used in healthcare, labs, education and training centers, art studios, and industrial workspaces, where flexibility and ergonomic support are essential. For restaurants and bars, counter and bar stools are a great alternative for elevated seating.
