I see the arm rests are slightly indented. Does this hurt your arms if they are crossed over the edge of them?

The edges are rubber adn rounded. There is no sharp edge and the rounding is soft enough in angle that it doesn'r result in blood being cutt off from your hands after a long period. This is a comfortable chair.

Not at all. I love the chair. Highly recommend it. Not hard rubber. I am a computer programmer who sits in the chair for hours! Best chair I have ever owned.

yes just pull off the mouse pad and your in.your left with 4" x 1&3/4" rectangel tear drop part with a 1 & 1/4" post on the top , but you need that for the armrest to stay clamped. the center of the arm rest part for your fore arm is 1' from center of post to center of arm wrest and swivels 360 degree's to both sides and that distance can be reduced because of 2 pivot points. hope this helps.

only tried the arms, they bend, but are very stiff. Currently have on the stand. Can't imagine it would look very natural if you did try to sit it down.

There are indentions under the front of arm rest's so you can hold on to the front of the arm rest's

Hi there! I am 5' 4'' and I found the mouse pad to be entirely too high and so removed it. The arm rest part itself is fine, although now I have to compensate for the little metal post that sticks up where the mouse pad is supposed to go. I recommend getting the one without the mouse pad. After that, it's just a matter of attaching the device to your desk.

Yes, when you put it together you can just leave the arm rests off and if you decide you want them later, no problem.

It's the height of the arms that may cause a difficulty. My computer desk is at the right height to work on, but the chair arms won't quite fit under it if I have the chair near enough & high enough to be comfortable. It's no big deal, but just means adjusting to sitting slightly away from the desk and the chair can't be moved under it when not in use.

I have mine set on the second setting and I don't have that problem. I usually drop my arms behind my head or cross them over my forehead.

The chairs have a slight curve and I haven't had any problem with them being uncomfortable. I have been very happy with these chairs.

They are not rounded, but I wouldn't say they are sharp. Hard to describe, because I want to say they are a sharp corner that has been smoothed over. So, yes, smooth, yet not rounded. Hope that makes sense. :) You won't scratch your arm on the edges.

Same here. I LOVE having this arm rest! Only wish I would have bought it sooner! My arm rest on it when shifting and usually it's more of a wrist movement then. The Pros by far outweigh the Cons. =)

Are you sure you have them on the right sides. The higher part of the arm should be in front.

My suggestion to you is make sure you aren't rotating your elbow inward against your side, allow your arm to relax.

Yes it is very comfortable. Especially when you are reading. I bought it for my daughter. She likes to read and she said it helps her keep her posture. The arm rest is perfect.

Yes - I believe the arms are non-marking. I do not see any marks on the table, etc. The arms feel like they are made out of a very strong sturdy rubber material with some cushion - comfortable.

Very slightly... I find that I position my arms wider than normal, but not in an uncomfortable way... I have not really thought much about it but I would guess that my hands are further out towards the ends of the grips because of this.

If I'm sitting on a chair yes, so I usually will sit criss-cross and then it works fine, its just not ergonomically correct. It does keep the computer remarkably cool so I think it is still worth it.
