Are the arms removable (i.e., does the chair look OK if you take off the arms)? There is less than a dollar difference in cost, should I get arms?

This chair does not come with arms. Look at the picture. It's a seat and backrest That's it. It's a simple task chair

This particular chair doesn't have arms. I chose to purchase a chair without arms so it could slide under the desk to save space. A chair with arms does not allow that.

Get arms! When your sitting at a desk for a long time, armrests come in handy.

I'm unable to answer but I did NOT purchase the chair with arms because of a space issue in my den. My previous chair did have arms and I could NOT slide it into the desk. The issue wasn't so much the height of the arms but the width in my case...

Yes you can remove the arms. They are secured to the bottom of the seat and are meant to be adjustable/removable.

Yes. My wife did not want the arms, so I just left them off. They come unassembled so its a matter of choice if you put them on...John

It compares very well with the reasonably priced chairs. I have seen these at discount furniture stores for about 200.00. All about the same. We have 1 chair and it is surprisingly comfortable but did come with minor imperfections in the plastic; have had for about a year fairly sturdy for plastic. Love the style but expensive designer chair not in my budget

I suppose you could put it together without the arms? I find the chair comfortable, in contrast to what others have said. No forward tipping at all.

Yes...but I was not happy with the overall quality. The arms of chair are not comfortable.. Its a cheap chair.

The arms are shorter then the front of the chair. They are 29" high and will slide under most standard 30" tables or desks. They are not easily removable. My wife used the chair for about 4 months while recuperating from surgery and was very pleased with it. We dined out several times and she never had a problem getting close enough..

Sorry I can't help you, when I ordered my chair it came without arms. I do like the chair.

Chair is not included. You can use any chair with arms. There is an extra adapter piece included to help mount the tray on curved arms.

You can use the chair without the arms to give more room for those who are wider. As for secure it depends on the person if they can manage without the arms. Otherwise the chair is stable without the airs.

This is the chair I bought to go with it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007AUAT1I. It's not perfect craftsmanship, but for the price, it's great. It's comfy, looks nice and easy to put together. I bought it for $107 last year though.

We used a chair that we already had. A basic desk chair that did not have arm rests. It's works fine but the base keeps it from going completely under the desk. This isn't a big deal for us but something we will consider if we get a different chair someday. Sorry I can't be of more help...

Yes, it is a comfortable chair. I have it in my guest room and some like to sit a read for a bit. It does not have arms though. It is really a very useful piece in my opinion. Hope this was helpful

Yes, they are removable. It took a few times to get used to how to attach them again. I think it's easy to do, however you have to bend or stoop down or sit level with the chair to re-attach them.

The arms are snapped into place with snap buttons and are NOT required for the integrity of the chair. The arms, if taken off, would not be available for support of the individual going into or out of the chair. If that support is available elsewhere such as handles in the shower, then no problem. The chair is very stable without the arms.
