What are the armrests made out of? Are they padded? Comfortable?

The arm rests are not padded. They are made of hard plastic. However they are smooth contoured and are still comfortable.

They are just long oval padded arm rests with a screw in each end. Check the specs to make sure these will fit.

They are thick and very comfortable to sit on. I've had mine for a year and they are still as thick as they day I got them. They have not list their size or shape

Hi, The Perixx Periboard Ergonomic keyboard wrist rest is not padded, it is made of the same material as the entire keyboard...however, it is very comfortable,, and I have actually increased my typing speed with it. I would still recommend highly, even without the padded wrist rest. I hope this was helpful. Have a great day.

Hi Rudy, it is almost like a soft polyester. We have used these (we purchased two) for a few months now and love them. They stretch so you are able to get them on over the seats--the armrests are separate pieces. I highly recommend these.

The arm rests are hard plastic, but I have six of these now for our office, and everyone loves them. I sit in this thing 8+ hours a day, and I challenge you to find a better chair under $500!!

the arm are comfortable for me (not padded if you are looking for padded one or material covered)

No, these straps are not padded. They are fairly thick, not uncomfortable, but not padded.

They're not padded, but not terrible and a fine texture on them. I use the chair for 5+ hours a day and the only real complaint I have about the arms is they hit a support beam on my desk at their maximum height and their adjustment system isn't quite precise enough for my situation.

Arms are solid construction, but after some use i found myself using padding due to chafing from elbow use of the chair. So they really are not comfortable after some use.

Yes they are fairly comfortable. They have a good thick padding on the seat and seem to be holding up well.

They have held up just like new after a year of constant use! Very good quality, so worth the price! I originally had the padded armrests covered in vinyl (?) Which started cracking and peeling in less than a year! Love the leather ones now! It is just the pad. The old armrest comes off by removing the 2 screws underneath and then these fit right in place and you secure them with the screws.

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.

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)

The seat is padded polyester-like fabric. Some people commented on the cheap plastic, but with this particular version, the padding covers the whole back and the seat. I love this high chair. I love how the plastic top comes off the tray to clean and the bar between the legs for added safety.

Yes the seat is padded and yes they are very comfortable- we have a black one and a white one. My husband has back problems and loves the seats.
