Do all drafting stools have a 5-leg base?

Commercial drafting chairs universally use 5-point bases for stability and to comply with BIFMA stability standards. A 5-star base distributes weight evenly and resists tipping in any direction. Some bar-style stools sold for home use have 4-leg or sled bases, but these are not appropriate for commercial office use. If you see a commercial drafting stool with fewer than 5 legs, verify it meets BIFMA X5.1 stability standards before purchasing for an office or commercial environment.
