Why do drafting chairs have foot rings?

Foot rings provide a place for your feet to rest when the seat is elevated above the normal floor level. Without a foot ring, your feet dangle when seated at counter height, cutting off circulation in the legs, creating pressure on the underside of the thighs, and causing fatigue. A foot ring positioned at the right height allows your knees to stay at or near 90° and maintains healthy blood flow. This is why foot rings are a standard feature on quality drafting stools, not an optional accessory. OfficeFurniture2go.com can help you select the right model — call 1-800-460-0858.
