Can I use a bar stool instead of a drafting chair at my standing desk or drafting table?

Technically yes, but a drafting chair is purpose-built for the job in ways a bar stool isn’t. Drafting chairs have pneumatic height adjustment so you can dial in the right seat height precisely; bar stools typically have fixed heights. Drafting chairs have ergonomic back support and a footrest ring built into the design; most bar stools have neither. For occasional short sessions at a counter or standing desk, a bar stool works fine. For extended work sessions — hours at a drafting table or standing desk — the ergonomic difference of a proper drafting chair becomes very apparent.
