Do the arms slip off if you want to remove them? I am looking for a chair that has a back that reclines more than 90 degrees but has no arms.

some of my friends have removed them completly. however, they hang on the back pole because of how they are attached to the cchair.

There is a small screw on the underside of each arm. One of ours came out the very first day and we can't screw it back in. Could easily take the screw out of the other one if we wanted to.

The back is held up by the arms only. So no, unless you want an armless and backless chair :P

The arms are a fixed and necessary of the chair. They cannot be removed or adjusted.

No, the arm covers are removable, but the seat itself would require disassembling the chair.

Yes you can remove the back but I have not removed the side arms for safety reasons.

Yes, the side arms come off, but I am not very satisfied with this chair. The front post that go into arm receptacle are made of a hard plastic. I have to push up on something to get out of any sitting position due to my knees. The pressure I applied in get out of the chair cause the front post to break in half. I called the manufacture to get a replacement piece, and I was told they don't sale just that piece , I would need to purchase the whole arm. I feel that the piece should not have been made out of plastic for a heavy duty bariatric chair, but aleast you should be able to buy it without having to purchase the whole arm.

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..

Yes, if you look on the page, there are arms that can go with this chair. They fit really nice and work well.

not sure, I've had this chair for awhile now and love it, the only thing i've had an issue with, is that the arm rests are starting to loosen up ( not that big of a deal as long as you kept the allen wrench you used to assemble the chair ). actually plan on getting another one of these here soon.

Carrie, I ended up returning the chairs twice because I kept receiving the chairs without arms. Best of luck to you.

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.

NO. Arms are a integral part of the ability of the chair back to lean backwards. I would suggest that, if you have not already made the purchase, to consider that this chair does not act like a conventional office chair. It does not lean backward by pushing your body backwards. One must release the mechanism to allow only the back of the chair to lean backward. The seat remains stationary flat. If I had an opportunity to reconsider, I would not have purchased this chair.

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.

I looked around quite a bit to find a chair this height and don't recall seeing anything that had arms. (I have a custom table that requires a taller than average drafting/bar/spectator chair.) As you've probably realized, there are very, very few options when looking for chairs this height. Sorry.

I am a lot larger than that, and I have no problem with it. However, I left the arms off. If you do install the arms, they are adjustable to compensate for extra width.

It can be used either with arms or without, guess it would depend on the width of the chair though. Ours are fairly big and we have it on the only chair that has arms in our set. Also, our chairs are covered with padding and fabric and it sits perfectly. You can adjust the straps however you need them to fit. I love the reclining feature!

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.
