We have a shop and the height of this drafting chair is lower than what we had there. It’s a lot lighter than I would expect for a drafting chair which goes a lot higher than your normal desk chair. The back support is very stiff with very limited adjustability, and the arm rest is a standard arm rest. It glides ok but not as smooth as I’d wanted it. This chair is definitely enough if you’re just going to use it at home with minimal movement and adjustability needed, but if you’re a professional and plan on using this chair daily for long hours and your work requires versatility and a lot of movement, then this chair won’t be the one you need.
