A drafting chair helps alleviate long hours

Be as productive as possible without worrying about your posture by using a drafting chair to get things done. The frame and seat provide neck and shoulder alignment that is important for jobs that often require a lot of desk work. Models meet ANSI/BIFMA safety standards, and they're either in fixed positions or feature pneumatic lever-activated adjustable heights. Some also have footrest rings, which are convenient when sitting against activity tables and utility desks. In addition to backless chairs, there are also those with or without arms and models with mesh backs for increased air circulation.

A drafting chair moves smoothly between workstations

Healthcare practitioners, lab techs, and art and science teachers benefit from the way wheeled medical stools let them easily move across rooms. Rotating seats increase mobility, while floor glides or rubber casters prevent scratches on the floor. There are firm chairs you can add a gel or memory foam seat rest to, as well as stain-resistant upholstery, soft leather, and padded poly-foam tops, to meet individual preferences.

Select an ergonomic drafting stool from an office furniture company

Whether shopping for a high drafting chair or a revolving stool for each employee, take a look at inventory from established names in office furniture production. The following brands offer several different kinds of furnishings, ranging from reception sets to lecterns, that you can coordinate with each other:

• Brandt Industries®
• Drive Medical®
• Flash Furniture®
• Quill Brand
• Boss®
• Safco®
• OFM™
• National Public Seating®
• Brewer®

Create your perfect setup with a comfortable drafting chair and accessories

Make each shift as pleasant and efficient as possible with accessories that enhance your medical office stool or ergonomic task chair. Place an anti-fatigue mat or climate control footrest beneath the desk or table, and slip chair socks onto each stool leg for additional quiet when sliding the seat along the floor. Consider keeping a set of replacement casters available or adding a footrest and/or adjustable armrests on compatible models that don't already have those features.
