How do I know if my team is using a drafting chair within its weight limit?

The chair's weight capacity is typically listed on the product spec sheet and sometimes on a label on the seat or mechanism. Commercial-grade drafting chairs are typically rated for 250–300 lbs; heavy-duty or bariatric models go up to 400–500 lbs. For a mixed user group, the safest approach is to purchase chairs rated for the highest-weight user on your team. If you're unsure, go with 300 lb capacity as a standard commercial baseline. Exceeding the weight limit accelerates wear on the gas cylinder, base, and mechanism and voids warranties.
