Desky Drafting Stool

So far, so good. The draughting stool feels solid, handling my 90+kg size and weight. I like the auto-locking wheels which stops me from rolling back from the desk. The height adjustment range is good, allowing for all variations with my sit-stand desk. Assembly was incredibly easy and fast!

I recently got a new "lab" desk for my home office. These desks are taller than normal desks and are designed to allow you to stand to do your work. I needed a stool to match the desk height and Desky's Drafting Stool is a perfect companion. It allows you to sit comfortably high for hours on (your) end. A really neat feature is the dynamic movement of the seat pad (there is no back) that adapts to your posture. It's a sort of half sphere shaped gizmo under the seat that can pitch in any direction your backside decides it wants a to go. The result is, without knowing it, you are "actively" sitting. It some weird way the stool makes you move. Desky calls this "activating your core". You're not going to get a six-pack from it but it certainly you are better for it. Transitioning from seated to a standing position is seamless since the stool can be raised fairly high. Anyway, speaking of six-packs, it's time for a drink to celebrate my new comfortable desk stool!

Was keen on an expensive international only stool, but this local edition hits all of the requirements and comes in well priced by comparison. Suits the sit/stand approach to home office working without taking up a lot of space. Helps you to engage core muscles and concentrate on posture while offering the ultimate freedom of movement. Haven't been able to fault it in the last couple of months of use.

If I to have a gripe I'd say the seat cushion could be better, but by the time you notice it's a good indication you should stand up anyway. As with most chairs, the casters work best when you're not sitting on the chair.

Assembly was a bit tricky, became the support ring should be put on the tube at the bottom before installing the tube through the base. But I asked the support staff questions on the chat, and they guided me through the assembly. The stool is very comfy and looks great. Now I just need to assemble the desk!

I love this stool. I have had sacroiliitis for a few years now and the first work day with this stool was the first day I haven't been in a lot of pain at the end of a work day in a long time.

Being able to have my knees below my hips, keep my legs and hips moving, keep my core engaged and and sit up straight is the best. The tilting of the seat means I can continuously rock gently while typing or on the phone, preventing my back and hips from seizing. The height adjustability is also a great feature.

The safety feature of the wheels locking when you've got your weight on it is good too, but it did take me about a half a day to stop trying to roll around on the stool.

Can recommend!

I love this stool.

It was so easy to assemble and is so comfortable; it looks so professional with my Desky standing desk.

Cannot recommend enough!

Found this online, & was a little hesitant, but the reviews were good. Since ordering & receiving I have found the stool to be a great option for my working environment. I purchased the anti-fatigue mat as well, and it helps me with chopping & changing from standing to sitting in my daily office grind. It has helped to stop my back from hurting from sitting down too much, as I can change the arrangement as I need. I suffer from ongoing long-term back issues after a back accident, & I've gotten to a stage in life where I need to consider better options while running a business. The balance chair component helps strengthen my core, and the bar helps to rest my legs after a lengthy stand, and to sit but pushed to sit upright & correctly. Considering getting one for my home office.
