Drafting Chairs & Stools — Expert Answer
Polyurethane versus fabric upholstery on a drafting chair — which is better?
Polyurethane (PU) upholstery offers excellent durability, easy cleaning with a damp cloth, and resistance to spills, making it ideal for labs, industrial environments, food service areas, and any setting where the chair may contact liquids or require frequent sanitizing. It looks professional and comes in many colors. Fabric upholstery provides better breathability and a softer feel, which some users prefer for all-day office seating. It's harder to clean and shows stains more easily. In office environments away from spills or chemicals, fabric is a comfortable choice. In any environment with potential for contamination or moisture, PU is the clear winner. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries both — call 888-719-4960.
