What is the foot ring on a drafting stool?

The foot ring is a circular or arc-shaped chrome ring positioned around the base column of a drafting chair, providing a foot rest when the user is seated at elevated height. Without a foot ring, legs dangle unsupported, causing pressure on the underside of the thighs and discomfort within 15–20 minutes. The foot ring should be height-adjustable on quality models so it can be set 12"–16" below the seat.
