What seat pan depth should I look for in a drafting chair?

Seat pan depth on drafting chairs typically ranges from 15"–19". For most users, a seat depth of 16"–17" is a good fit — deep enough for full thigh support, not so deep that it cuts into the back of your knees. Taller users with longer thighs may prefer 18"–19" depth, while shorter users typically do better with 15"–16". Some premium drafting chairs include a seat depth adjustment mechanism that lets you slide the seat pan forward or backward relative to the backrest, accommodating a wider range of body sizes. Check the spec sheet for seat depth before purchasing if you have specific requirements. FindOfficeFurniture.com can pull up specs on any model — call 888-719-4960.
