Office Stools
Office stools are a type of seating commonly used in work environments where sit/stand versatility is valued. These stools, also called drafting chairs, are traditionally associated with drafting tables and standing desks where individuals need to alternate between sitting and standing positions. Office stools offer similar benefits as task chairs, including adjustable height and adjustable arm features to promote ergonomic comfort and support during extended periods of use. They are designed with a focus on functionality, allowing users to comfortably work at elevated surfaces while maintaining proper posture and reducing strain on the body. Office stools feature a taller height range compared to standard chairs and typically include a foot ring for resting, making them suitable for use with higher work surfaces. We recommend office stools for office set-ups with standing desks and employees who prefer dynamic sitting arrangements for improved productivity and well-being.
