Drafting chairs and drafting stools offer more height than standard chairs. They extend your reach for use with work surfaces like counters and laboratory tables. Drafting chairs and stools are particularly suited for use with the large width and depth of angled drafting table surfaces.
When shopping, it should be noted that the terms ‘drafting stool’ and ‘drafting chair’ are used almost interchangeably. Drafting chairs tend to offer more cushioning and look more like elevated standard chairs than do drafting stools, but this is not always the case. Both have great features like adjustable backrests, armrests, seats, and footrests. But how do you know which features you should look for?

Many people feel a bond with their office chairs. With all the shapes, colors, and styles available, no other piece of office furniture feels quite so personal or unique.
Ideally, your office chair will be with you for years. But what if something goes wrong? Don’t let one of these fixable mishaps send your trusty office chair out to the curb.
The Mystery Bolt
Discovery: You find a bolt on the floor underneath your office chair.
Cause: Repetitive movements, wear and tear, regular chair use.
The Problem: Since most office chairs have many connecting points, you may not notice a missing bolt or two. However, even one missing bolt puts more stress on the remaining bolts and can strip connections, damaging your office chair.
The Fix: If you find even one loose bolt, it’s time for some simple maintenance. With either a Phillips or flathead screwdriver, check the tightness of all your chair bolts. Make sure each is in properly. As you work, you should come upon the empty bolt hole. Screw your bolt back in and tighten it.

Apr. 26 - The first German Championships in Office Chair Racing took place in Bad Koenig-Zell on Saturday. 70 participants took the chance to bring their office chair out into the sunshine and put it through its paces.
The race down the Odenwaelder street was mainly downhill and involved starting on a steep ramp and racing over another ramp.
The only uniform rule was the obligatory crash helmet - and many people needed it. Dozens of the racers fell off their chairs, and many chairs didn’t make it to the end of the 170 metre race intact.
