The Top Drafting Chairs for Home and Office
Some professions and hobbies require more time sitting at a desk or table than others. Architects, designers, artists, or those who work in another type of creative field often need a desk chair that can provide long-lasting comfort and support at a drafting table. Also known as drafting stools or chairs, this type of office furniture is popular among professionals or remote workers to make sitting for long periods of time as restful as possible.
What Exactly Are Drafting Chairs?
Drafting chairs are modified office chairs that often have more features and benefits than ergonomic chairs. This type of seating gets its name from the artform of drafting (technical drawing) since drafters require special seating to maintain a bent position for large stretches of time. Since drafting tables are often higher up than desks and conference tables, drafting stools and chairs were designed specifically for this type of workspace.

How Are Drafting Chairs Different From Ergonomic Chairs?
Ergonomic chairs also allow users to sit for long periods of time, but drafting chairs offer more seating and height adjustment that allow users the flexibility to easily change the way they sit. Most drafting chairs have the ability to raise up to 30 to 49 inches and have an adjustable footrest for maximum comfort. They also provide different backrest and adjustable arm options for back and lumbar support.

Which Type of Drafting Chair Is the Best?
Before choosing the ideal adjustable drafting chair, it’s best to consider how long it will be used on a daily basis and what features are important. It’s also important to know that not all artists will need drafting chairs. For instance, if a high seat height isn't needed, an ergonomic office chair might be a better option.
