Product Information

Full details

The High Rise Draughtsman Kit is designed for professionals and hobbyists who require an elevated seating position for high-desk or drafting table environments. This kit provides an ergonomic boost to your existing setup by increasing height range and adding crucial foot support, though it requires an existing 5-star chair base to complete the installation.

FAQs

Does this kit include a chair base?

No, the kit includes the gas lift, foot ring, and glides only. You must reuse your existing 5-star chair base.

Can I keep my wheels on the chair?

It is strongly recommended to use the included glides to prevent the chair from rolling, which can be dangerous at higher seat heights.

Will this fit any office chair?

The kit is designed to fit most standard 5-star office chair bases, but you should verify that your chair allows for the replacement of the gas lift cylinder.

How do I remove my old gas lift?

Removing a gas lift usually requires a rubber mallet to tap the piston out of the 5-star base and the chair mechanism.

Is the foot ring height adjustable?

Yes, the foot ring is designed to be height-adjustable to accommodate different user leg lengths and workstation heights.

Troubleshooting

The chair feels wobbly or unstable

Ensure that the glides are fully seated in the 5-star base and that the gas lift is securely inserted into both the base and the seat mechanism.

Foot ring slips or slides down

Check the tension screw on the foot ring hub and ensure it is tightened sufficiently to grip the gas lift cylinder firmly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Increases seat height for specialized workstations
  • Foot ring reduces leg fatigue during long shifts
  • Glides prevent accidental rolling for improved safety at height
  • Universal design fits most standard 5-star bases

Cons

  • 5-star base not included
  • Installation requires disassembling your existing chair
  • Mobility is limited compared to chairs with castors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the kit, you will need to remove the existing gas lift from your current 5-star base and chair seat. Insert the new high-rise gas lift into your existing base, slide on the foot ring at your desired height, and mount the seat back onto the piston. Always use the included glides to replace your castors, as wheels can become unstable at higher elevations. To maintain the mechanism, occasionally wipe the gas lift with a soft cloth to remove dust buildup, ensuring smooth height adjustments over time.
