Drafting Chairs & Stools — Expert Answer

Do all drafting chairs have a five-star base?

Most commercial-grade drafting chairs come with a five-star (five-armed) base, which is the industry standard because it provides the best stability and tip resistance. Four-star bases exist on some budget models, but they're considered less stable and are not recommended for commercial use. Some stationary (non-rolling) drafting stools use a four-leg or pedestal base configuration, which can be very stable without wheels. For any rolling drafting chair in an office or professional setting, five-star is the baseline standard you should require.
