Drafting Chairs & Stools — Expert Answer
Should I choose casters or glides on a drafting stool?
Casters (rolling wheels) are the standard choice for drafting stools and allow you to move freely across the floor. Glides are stationary feet that keep the stool in a fixed position — appropriate for situations where mobility would be distracting or hazardous, such as in some lab or medical settings. Most commercial drafting stools come standard with casters; glides are typically special-order. If you're unsure, casters are the default for office environments.
