You should always check the weight capacity of a drafting chair before purchasing, as this will indicate how large and/or heavy you can be whilst using it.
2. Adjustable Elements: Drafting chairs are designed to provide support and reduce the likelihood of back strain when drafting or drawing.
As such, they should be comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. Drafting chairs can achieve this by varying the degree of tilt, the backrest and the armrests.
Drafting chairs generally have a tilt control, which allows the user to recline at various degrees. The tilt function is generally coupled with a lock to hold the user in a reclined position.
