Are there drafting stools without wheels?

Yes — drafting stools with glides (stationary feet) instead of casters are available. These are preferred in settings where rolling is unsafe or undesirable: laboratories near open flames or chemicals, precision workstations, surgical environments, and some industrial settings. Glide-base stools can also be a preference on carpet where rolling stools tend to be harder to push around anyway. Fixed-base stools tend to be slightly more stable than wheeled stools since there's no cylinder or base flex. Some models offer a four-legged base with glides for a very stable, non-rolling option. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries glide-base drafting stools — call 888-719-4960 for options.
