Hi. Can this chair be assembled without the arms?

I'm not 100% sure but I know they are detachable. I would guess they could.

I don't think so. The arms seem to be an integral part of the way the back of the chair reclines. When my chair arrived, the arms were not attached and needed to be so. Besides all that, you might find them most useful when you wish to get up out of the chair or return the usual sitting position.

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.

Yes this can be assembled without the armrest . The armrest comes separately and has to be assembled onto the chair seat so it's your choice.

Yes. The screws fasten under the seat. I had a chair that came w/o arms, and I was sent arms for it. The screws for them are already in the bottom of the seat.

No, there is some assembly required but it's minimal. Also, I failed to recognize it doesn't have a height adjustment (in case you were thinking of using it for a computer chair, it sits kind of low).

Hi!Yes the arms are removable. You can screw and unscrew them all the time.

Yes, just don't hook in the arms when you put the chair together. This is a great chair and Hon is a great company and stands behind its products.

The arms do not need to be attached, this does not make the chair any less sturdy. It just gives the person using it an option.

Hey Emily, Yes, you could not install the arms. The chair is made in such a way that you could use it either way (with our without arms) and not detract from the chair cosmetically, for a different look. Just put the chrome screw caps into the holes for the arms to give it a finished look without the arms. It's a very nice chair for the money, I still love it.

Not really, you just need to attach the removable footrests. No special skills required. Very good sturdy chair.

No, there is some minor assembly required. 4 screws attach the chair back to the base but that is about it.

No, while it needs some assembly, it is easy to do this by following the instruction sheet. I did it in short order, so most anyone who can read and follow directions can do it. Great chair!

Yes. There are 8 screws under the chair that can be removed to remove the arms. Also the arms can go down very low. So if they are in the way you may not have to remove them.

No. The top of the arms will come off, but that still leaves a post sticking up about 2 inches. You see in the picture where the arms snap in. The base of the arm and the legs are all one piece. So someone who has to slide onto the seat could get injured by the 2 inch high posts sticking up front and rear. You need one without arms.

There is a little bit of assembly required, but not as much as with other office chairs. The arms are one unit that go behind the back of the chair which is a bonus as no more wobbly arm rests. It took about 10 minutes to assemble the three sections.

Just don't put the arms on during assembly. That sentence tells you that you have to put the chair together.

Yes the chair can be used without the armrests. Mine started to fall off so my husband and I took them off so our son would be comfortable.

there are no real assembly required for this chair. I am disabled myself and were able to put it all together without any issues. You will have to do minimal work
