Are the arm rest better on the aluminum, graphite or titanium base for the clamps? I've heard the arm rests tend to drop after a while.

I've had aluminum one for 8 months and have not had that problem. I checked it today and see no signs of a problem.

sorry but don't understand your question well.... but all I can say is that the arms-height adjustment, is not easy as it should be... because sometimes you want to change the height several times during the day and to do it, you have to use strong force to rise it or else... to me, is lack of more design.... unless mine is not good... thanks.

The arms are made of aluminum. The base has 4 holes on each end where it can be bolted down, however we ran nylon straps through the handles so we could remove ours.

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.

Tightening the dial in the middle joint also tightens the end joints. We use this to mount our son's iPad to his wheelchair tray nad have no problems once we gave up on the jaw clamp and permanently mounted a 1/4-20 socket to his tray. The vise to tighten the jam clamp is pretty weak and in our case, sheared off on both the original and the replacement. Get the arm. Forget the clamp. Buy a Manfrotto clamp instead.

The tops of the arm rests are padded in a slightly textured spongey rubbery material. They are still quite hard. The arms are comfortable and non abrasive. I normally rest my arms on my desk so I may not be the best person to ask and can't really comment on using the arms rests for long periods of time

The clamp that is attached to the edge of the table has a steel post (approximately 5/8" diameter and 3/4" height) over which the mouse platform is placed. The mouse platform is easily removed, and one can clamp the arm rest can be clamped to the right or left of where the mouse will be used and then any other mouse pad can be used.

Yes-clamping system is much better. Adjustable and allows you to really hold something down so it doesn't move.

This unbrella clamps to the frame of the chair, not the arm rests. You should be fine. I use mine for car shows and I love it. I display a car and I noticed by word of mouth, I see about 4 more at the same car show. Enjoy

I would advise using a Triathlon bar instead. they come with elbow pads and have the same effect, but let you rest more easily. they also cost about 10x more, but if money is no issue! typically they are adjustable as far as arm length goes.

There are 2 models, one for 60 and one for 70. I agree AP3's answer. But I did note some arm sagging when arms are fully extended.

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...

while camping i use a piece of firewood on the "arms", then place rocks on the ends of the wood for stability. i was worried that the arms were too flimsy for anything too heavy like the rocks directly. the stakes is a great idea, but sometimes were are on blacktop or cement, or hard desert ground without the ability to use stakes!

The arm rests do move in and out a few degrees, it's likely the chair design rather than the armpad as a restiction. These pads are leather replacements for the vinyl ones the chair comes with.

I have the model with the arms that lock on after you assemble. I have two bikes on mine and have had no issues with them slipping or moving. I was hesitant at first, but its worked great.

some kind of good quality aluminum (i think) because is light weight, but it feels sturdy, even the threads to secure the extendable arms are metal made

Yes, the face cradle and arm rest come off, and they are separate, you can have just the face cradle and no arm rest, or none of it. It's a great table, I love mine, it's wide and long enough for the biggest of clients. Plus it's very sturdy, when you sit on it, it's VERY solid. I also have extra padding but you don't need it.
