Drafting Chairs & Stools — Expert Answer
What regular maintenance should I do on a drafting stool?
Simple maintenance keeps drafting stools working well for years: (1) Wipe down upholstery with a damp cloth or appropriate cleaner monthly, or more frequently in dirty environments. (2) Check casters periodically for debris (hair, thread) wrapped around the axles — remove any buildup to keep rolling smooth. (3) Lubricate the gas cylinder top with a small amount of silicone spray annually to prevent squeaking. (4) Test the height adjustment and seat tilt mechanisms periodically — if they become stiff or sticky, a small amount of dry lubricant can help. (5) Check all nuts and bolts annually and retighten as needed. These steps take under 10 minutes and significantly extend chair life. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 for product support.
