Does the cooler on the arm rest affect how your arm sits? Does it weigh the arm rest down?

I recently used it a ballgame and put a med size water bottle in it. I had to move my fingers over a little bit and did not notice any weighing down of the arm rest. It really is a pretty sturdy chair. Hope this helps...

No to both questions. The arm rest stays put, and at least for my husband, at a very comfortable height. He doesn't put tons in the cooler, maybe a couple bottles of water and a soda, so if you put lots and lots in, it may be different. But we are very happy with it, and since we live 2 miles from the beach, it gets lots of use.

The arm on this chair is pretty wide so it is naturally comfy. The ice chest does not sag or weigh down the arm at all. Very comfy chair

No I have not noticed it. The rubber grommet that holds the arm in the back is really snug. I will say though that with prolonged sitting the zippers for the cooler do irritate my elbow. I use the chair as a patio chair at my apartment so I sit for hours reading. I hope that helps.

The arm rests go up and down a few inches, the top surface is padded not hard plastic. William described it as "firm and gelish", I'd say that's a pretty close description.

No...the arm rest do not move The back is removable, but that is the only thing that can adjust. I have loved this seat for my daughter though. It is light and fits her perfectly. She has used it for about a year & she just turned 6.

Hi John, It have been a while since i installed it, but i think that the weight of arm and moniterneed the thru the desk top stud. The arm is a high quality piece that works as advertized.

There is no sitting on the cooler according to the writing on the cooler. It could probably support a smallish person of <150 lbs (made up #). The overall cooler is sturdy and has a good hinge design. I'll probably get another one. Good overall design.

No arm rest a problem? Not really. I got this as more of a "crouch at the fireside" chair. I use this only for motorcycle camping, so pack size was the most important factor. Large (comfortable) chairs are really hard to pack on some bikes. So, it was either this type or chair or a stool. Both are better than a cold rock, but the chair is much better than a stool.

Mine had a port in the armrest and it works great. Not sure how this would work? Probably not the guy to ask. Sorry!!

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...

Thanks for the armrest information. For those commenting on the comfort of the armrest, it's not so much about comfort as it is the long-term nerve pressure on the elbows, search on "cubital tunnel syndrome" (not to be confused with carpel tunnel)

Absolutely yes, at 194 lbs I find it comfortable for 6 hour stints. I ordered a seat cushion with the chair but seldom use it these days. Plus the canvas seat material breathes very well which helps with coolness. (huge plus for Disney World trips) By the way, This chair is much lighter to lift and load than one might think. My left shoulder is quite damaged so I do it all with the right arm easily.

It does not "act" as a cooler. But, it does seems to breathe better than the other pillows I have used. So, in a way, I guess it does keep you slightly cooler.I love this pillow. It is really very comfortable.

It is heavy! They say it weighs 80 lbs, but I thought it felt heavier than that. This said though, it is an amazing cooler that does exactly what it says it will do. Just might need 2 people to lift it (especially when it is full).

Yes it does. It works fine. It is also a much better arm rest than the stock one. I love it. You have cup holders?

I have a MacBook Pro so don't have this issue - I suppose you could but then you would seem to be defeating purpose of the armrest which is to keep the computer cool.

I imagine so. I would guess that it would be easily narrower than the arm rests and therefore would sit on ones lap or straddle ones lap and rest on the seat cushion. I don't think it would be wide enough to rest on the arm rests if that is your intention.

If you lower the arm rest all the way, on the one I have, the bottom of the padded, cushioned, trough like surface, is about 1/8 inch higher than the desk top. When your forearm presses down on the cushioned padding it will be just about exactly at the same level as the desk top. This is the lowest adjustment. You can only go higher from there.

There is no cooler included with this chair. There is a "back pack" of sorts, with a flap and two straps to keep it semi-closed. It would easily carry a small cooler. And yes, there are straps for carrying on your back and they are adjustable.
