How do I measure to ensure a drafting chair fits my workstation?

First, measure your worksurface height from the floor. Subtract 9"–11" (your desired elbow-to-seat distance) to find your target seat height. Confirm the chair's maximum seat height exceeds that number. Also check that the foot ring can be set at a height that keeps your knees at 90° with feet supported. Finally, measure the knee clearance under your work surface — the chair's mechanism and back must fit beneath the overhanging surface when seated.
