Drafting Stools

Cool stools for your drafting business

Drafting stools aren’t just for artists and architects anymore. Their comfort level and height is designed for anyone who needs to use tall desks or counters, or just enjoys that type of chair. However, while anyone can use drafting chairs, drafting businesses still have the most use for them. Fortunately, there are drafting stools and counter height chairs of every size, shape and color, so there’s sure to be one to match your business’ style. And with so many options, you can find the style you want that fits your budget, too.

Stools are normally associated with height, like bar stools and stools used at tall tables in restaurants. Drafting stools were originally designed for architects who would have to sit at drafting tables to create drafts for the buildings and projects they were working on. Now, there are hundreds of different drafting stools designed for various functions. You can find stools in just about every color, even neon green and bright pink, as well as the classic browns and blacks. If you’re looking for a specific style of drafting stool, it’s very likely that you can find it.

Ergo drafting stools are the most comfortable stools made, and they keep the drafting business in mind when designing their specialized products. Ergonomics means creating products that optimize human performance and comfort. Ergo stools in the workplace will allow your employees to be at a comfort level that gives them top performance in their work. Some of the stools have backs to them for maintaining good posture and keeping employees awake and alert. Mesh backs allow for the employee’s skin to breathe and keep cool, as opposed to backs that prevent any air from flowing. Armrests are available with some models so your employees can rest their arms on something while sketching.

If it’s not optimal for employees to be sitting while at work, but you want to relieve them from standing on their feet all day, there are sit to stand stools available. Sit to stand stools allow employees to place most of their weight on the stool while still maintaining the standing position. Some of these stools are high tech and allow for employees to change the position until they find one suitable for them. While these stools are ideal for jobs such as store clerks, they may be useful in your workplace, as well.

Drafting stools can be expensive, especially if you’re purchasing enough for a whole company. Prices can range anywhere from $100 to $2,000 for a single stool, depending on the brand and features. The more efficient stools designed for comfort and optimizing work efforts cost over $500 each. Purchasing enough stools for your business may end up costing you a lot of money, but there are ways to cut costs. It’s a good idea to find a drafting stools sale that includes the brand you’re looking for. Also, if cost is an issue, there are discount brands that usually offer stools that have similar functionality to high-end brands for less.
