Padded drafting chairs and stools can be a nice gift if the person you're shopping for spends a lot of time at the art table. For the computer-riveted recipient, however, you may want to look for something a bit more plush; leather executive office chairs are a comfy fit, and a nice step up from the standard computer chair. And let's not forget the tables themselves; drafting tables/art desks come in a variety of sizes and styles, from the foldaway style to the traditionally tilted easel style. You can even buy them in entire sets that include lighting and chairs.
