What is the real difference between a $50 drafting stool and a $200 commercial drafting chair?

The price difference shows up in: (1) Gas cylinder quality — budget cylinders lose height over time or fail within a year; commercial cylinders last years of daily use. (2) Seat foam density — budget foam compresses quickly, leaving a flat, uncomfortable seat within months. (3) Base construction — budget bases may crack under commercial use. (4) Upholstery durability — budget vinyl peels and cracks; commercial vinyl or fabric is tested to resist wear. (5) Warranty — budget chairs rarely carry meaningful warranties; commercial chairs at FindOfficeFurniture.com come with coverage. For home light-use, a $50 stool may work fine. For any commercial setting with daily use, the investment in a proper commercial chair pays off within the first year. Call 888-719-4960 for the best commercial value.
