Can the foot ring on a drafting stool be replaced?

Yes, foot rings are replaceable on most drafting stools. The ring typically attaches to the column via a friction collar or set screw that can be loosened and the ring slipped off. Replacement rings are sold as separate parts and are usually specified by column diameter. If the ring breaks or bends, it's much less expensive to replace just the ring than the entire chair.
