How the Ergo Score Works
Every chair is scored out of 100 from its manufacturer and Amazon specifications, with the same formula for each. Three pillars make up the score.
- Adjustability (up to 40). Armrests, seat height and depth, lumbar adjustment, recline and tilt controls.
- Support (up to 30). Lumbar and upper back support, headrest, seat cushion and a breathable back.
- Build (up to 30). Warranty, weight capacity, certifications, base, gas lift and owner rating.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I match a drafting chair to my desk?
Measure from the floor to the underside of the work surface and leave room for your thighs. The Seat height range column shows how high each chair goes.
Why does a footrest matter on a high seat?
With a high seat, your feet may not reach the floor, so a footrest ring or separate footrest gives them a place to rest. Check whether the listing states one.
Are drafting chairs stable?
A wide base helps. Look at the base material and caster details in the listing, and try the chair on a hard surface before trusting it fully.
Can I use one at a normal desk?
Only if the seat goes low enough, so check the lower end of the range.
