Should I get a drafting chair with or without armrests?

Whether armrests help or hinder depends on your work. For drafting, illustration, or any task where you move your arms widely across a large surface, armrests can get in the way and restrict your range of motion — many artists and technical drafters prefer armless models for exactly this reason. For users at computer-height standing desks who are primarily typing and clicking, armrests provide useful support and reduce shoulder fatigue. If your work involves a mix of both, look for removable or flip-up armrests that let you adapt. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries drafting chairs in both armrest and armless configurations — call 888-719-4960.
