Stools and draughtsman chairs are the answer wherever the surface is taller than a normal desk, such as reception counters, lab and workshop benches, and high tables in a breakout area. The range covers two quite separate needs: proper working seats for long spells at height, and lighter stools for a quick perch.
Draughtsman chairs for long periods at height
Think of a draughtsman chair as a task chair raised up on a longer gas lift, with a footring added. That footring does the real work. With nowhere to rest your feet, a tall seat pushes your weight onto the underside of your thighs, and it gets uncomfortable fast.
Anyone working at a raised bench for hours should have a genuine draughtsman chair, with height adjustment and a footring, not a bar stool. For people working at a normal desk height, our task and operator chairs are the right fit.
Bistro stools for a quick perch
The Brayford, Charford and Carmen stools are made for canteens and breakout areas, where people sit for a coffee, a chat or a short break. They are chosen for looks and easy cleaning rather than adjustment, which is the right balance when nobody stays long.
Check the heights before you order
- Always pair each stool with the table it will be used at. Ordering stools and tables at heights that do not work together is the most frequent mistake in this category.
- High stools sit well with bar and poseur tables and café height bistro and café tables.
- For something softer and lower, Harlestone stools are upholstered and easy to move around as a space changes.
