can the arms be left off

Yes. You will be given an option during setup if you want to connect the arms or not. Leave them off and set the chair up without tightening the screws and assembling the seat to the base. If you like the chair without arms go ahead and finish putting it together. Taking the chair apart once it is put together to add or remove the arms is tricky but can be done. Save yourself a headache and see what you like before not after.

Upon further inspection, it appears that the arms don't do anything structurally to the chair. So, yes, you could leave them off.

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 arms can be left off, but in my opinion, they're essential to the comfort of the chair.... as in an armrest when using a keyboard, etc. I agree with the suggestion to try it and see what you like.

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.

Absolutely. I did not install the arms on my chair. I love the chair. It is in my craft room and I sit in it for hours.

I am a lot larger than that, and I have no problem with it. However, I left the arms off. If you do install the arms, they are adjustable to compensate for extra width.

It's push button to remove the arms. Only the bracket stays attached while in normal use. It won't bother you.

No.. only in the front. The arms come separate, and you need to install them. Recommend you buy a model with arms installed.

Yes. My wife did not want the arms, so I just left them off. They come unassembled so its a matter of choice if you put them on...John

You can detach the arms. They are attached by allen screws. It dosen't fold below the the lenght of the X heights.

Yes you could do that. They are attached by allen wrench, unrelated to the structure. The holes where the arms should go would be visible though.

You can use the chair without the arms to give more room for those who are wider. As for secure it depends on the person if they can manage without the arms. Otherwise the chair is stable without the airs.

Scott P. should be informed that the chair is not returnable once it is assembled. I was informed of this policy after assembling the chair and discovering that the back was not adjustable to a comfortable position. So we gave the chair to GoodWill -- never able to use it. I'm sorry I don't know if the arms can be left off. I would think probably so, but the larger issue for me and my husband was that the chair was not comfortable to sit on at all.

Yes. But you may need some force. The Arms are not installed when you get it.

Yes, just unscrew it or don't attach it in the first place. This can be purchased without the arm part.

I used the arm but it looks as though you can use it without the arm as well.

No it should not be put together without the arms, as the arms give the backrest needed support.

If you are referring tot he arms that hold the bike, I am not sure there is more than one version, but the one I have you can place the arms during or after assembly. They can actually be removed at anytime and repositioned, they are specialized hooks that wrap around the frame and use pressure to stay in place, pretty secure
