Drafting Chairs & Stools — Expert Answer
What is the maximum height available on a drafting stool?
Most commercial drafting stools top out at a maximum seat height of approximately 33"–35" in standard configuration. Extended-cylinder models can reach up to 37"–40" seat height, which accommodates very high work surfaces or standing-height workbenches. If you need to seat someone at a 42" surface (standing desk at max height, for example), you'll need one of the extended-range models specifically designed for those heights. Always compare the work surface height to the chair's maximum seat height — you want the seat height to be roughly 10"–12" below the surface.
