Drafting Chairs & Stools — Expert Answer
What should I look for in a drafting chair for an industrial environment?
Industrial drafting chairs should have heavy-duty powder-coated steel or chrome bases, vinyl or polyurethane upholstery that resists oils and chemicals, reinforced gas cylinders rated for frequent daily adjustments, and large-diameter casters that roll on rough floors. Avoid fabric and mesh in environments with dust, oil, or chemicals. BIFMA certification provides assurance of commercial durability. Many industrial models are available without armrests to prevent snagging on equipment. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries industrial-grade drafting seating — call 1-800-460-0858.
