Boss Drafting Stool with Adjustable Arms and Footring Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This chair is an OK bargain as long as you pay under 100 dollars. But it does have its issues.
Pros
Affordable for a drafting stool
Adjustable arms
Easy to put together
Cons
Not exceptionally sturdy
Back support isn't really adjustable
Provided instructions might confuse some
I was looking for a stool to use at a computer work station that is specifically 24" high. I needed adjustable arms (for arm support during typing - very important) and just a generally comfortable chair. At this price range (paid about 90 dollars with shipping) it was fine for the job.
The chair really isn't as sturdy as I would have liked. It seems acceptable for me at about 180 pounds. I believe anyone over 200 should seriously look for a stronger chair as it does seem to teeter a little bit. The manufacturer states the chair is usable for people up to 250, but I don't believe that for a second.
Various sites refer to this chair as having a height of 24" or 26". This was confusing as I specifically needed 24". I quickly discovered the discrepancy which should have been clearly explained by seller/manufacturer. The chair has a height of 24" without the casters. It's 26" with. Unfortunately, if you don't use the casters the base has a somewhat rough surface. Boss makes glides that fit this chair, but you have to pay extra for them. I found no one online store that sells the glides which means they probably have to ordered directly from Boss. Or I can just put something generic on the bottom. In any case, if you need the chair to work at 24" or 25" this will be an issue as the casters add 2".
The instructions that came with the chair weren't even for the correct model. That was fine as there aren't that many parts to put together. if you have trouble with instructions, however, you might have an issue even with the correct version as Boss crams it all on a single sheet with very little written explanation of how to put it all together.
The back support seemed sufficient. There's no real way to adjust it accept for a turn valve on the bottom which you generally only deal with when you put the chair together. If you have back problems and need the back support to be adjustable this chair is definitely not for you.
Since I was on a tight budget the chair is fine. If you have 200 dollars, however, I would seriously recommend you spend it on a better chair.
