What is the footprint of a typical drafting stool base?

A standard five-star drafting stool base spans approximately 24"–27" in diameter (measuring from caster tip to opposite caster tip). This footprint is the minimum clear floor space you need around the chair for it to rotate freely and for the user to move comfortably. In close-quarters workstations or shared benches, account for this diameter when planning desk spacing. Smaller or narrower bases do exist on some lightweight or compact stools, typically in the 20"–22" range — useful for tight spaces. For workspace planning, measure the floor area available per workstation and confirm the chair's base diameter leaves adequate clearance.
