- 1). Make sure the height of the drafting stool is appropriate for your height and the height of the desk, table, or counter top where you plan to place it. Quality drafting stools have the option to adjust the height, so you want to make sure the height options fit with your specific needs.
- 2). Be sure the drafting stool will be comfortable to sit in for extended periods of time. Even if you don't plan to use it on a regular basis, you might change your mind or someone else in your home might start using the drafting stool often. To maximize comfort, quality drafting stools have a large contoured back with extra support.
- 3). Find out what the drafting stool you're thinking of purchasing is made of. Quality drafting stools will be made from durable materials that will last a long time, such as a sturdy fabric or mesh material. Polypropylene is also a very durable, long-lasting material that's easy to clean and maintain.
- 4). Choose a drafting stool with a foot rest. Having somewhere to place your feet will help keep your body upright, which promotes good posture and helps prevent back and neck pain.
