Are the armrests comfortable for supporting your arms to hold a book and read?

I don't know about holding a book, but for laying back and holding your arms it's very comfortable. Is this my friend Tom Baer??

No not at all. This is a very comfortable chair that opens and folds easily. Nice pockets in the armrests.

Yes, it is very comfortable. It is easily adjustable. I have a small head and it works great for me while reading in bed and not disturbing my husband.

The angle of the prop is not ideal for hands free reading. To read most comfortably you have to hold it yourself.

Actually the arms are fine. They have a brushed finished and are not too slippery. I have been using this chair for over a month and find it very comfortable. Perfect back support for an inexpensive chair.

Absolutely it is! Mine is far back on the side of my lazy boy and is perfect for reading or crafts. My chair rocks so I wouldn't want it directly behind it.

I have used the bedrest on my sofa and I liked the extra back support while reading. Helps prevent slumping.

Get arms! When your sitting at a desk for a long time, armrests come in handy.

I would say "yes". You sit comfortably and all the work is done with the legs. Handholds beside the seat allow you to stay in position easily, without any strain.

Short answer is yes. I found a footrest to be very helpful for longtime standing comfort.

It works VERY well to read a book. I have chronic neck problems, and it helps keep books at the height that prevents neck pain.

The armrests are not cushioned, nevertheless they are comfortable. I never typed while resting the elbows on the armrests, but I think it should be possible and comfortable. I really like this chair, I had it for over an year and solved my backpain.

Yes. I've used them on occasion while wearing my reading glasses and they don't interfere with the comfort of either.

Yes, it is, but like another post stated, you do have to hold it and move it down the page and your arm may get tired. I use it for reading papers, etc. with very small print. It is the best one I've ever had for that.

I guess they are armrests. They don't work for me, but I'm usually reading or napping, so it doesn't matter to me. I love mine! I'm 72 and they only problem I have is getting out of it if it swings too much, but now have the hang of it.

Actually, now that you mention it, I recall thinking about that prior to purchasing. But, as we've used them, (granted, we haven't used them extensively yet, maybe 5-6 times at outdoor concerts), we haven't even thought about the "missing" arm rests. We really like the comfort and the size of these chairs. Because they take up so little room, I just always keep them in my car trunk. They don't get in the way at all, they are so small.
