What’s the difference between a drafting stool and a perch stool, and which one is right for me?

A drafting stool is a standard tall task chair with a seat that you sit fully on, a backrest, adjustable height, and a footrest ring — designed for seated use at elevated work surfaces. A perch stool has a sharply angled or saddle-shaped seat designed to put you in a semi-standing posture where your hips are open and your weight is partially on your feet — more of an active seating tool than a sit-back-and-relax option. Perch stools are popular as ergonomic alternatives for users who don’t want to fully sit or stand. For long drafting or computer sessions, a drafting stool provides more support; for users who want to stay active and upright, a perch stool is the better fit.
