How hard are the arm rests? Can I rest my elbows on them while I type?

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.

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!!

They are semi-hard rubber. I can rest mine while I type but prefer not to - personal preference.

They are not at all soft but you can put your elbows there. My chair is falling apart. I will be replacing it soon.

They aren't padded, but I had no problems with the armrests. My problems came from the casters and air-lift breaking.

That's a awesome question lol. I think you may be bent over to much causing your elbows to dig through the pads which aren't to Thick. They are inexpensive enough to try in my opinion. Just make sure you have room on your bars.

Yes, I have owned the tablet for a week now. When writing notes with my s-pen, I have no problems resting my hand directly on the screen. I love this tablet.

The keyboard is hard plastic, not rubber. You don't have to hit them to hard, they depress nicely. I have no problem typing fast with them. Hope that helps!

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.

front of arm rest have a place to grip, but your feet need to reach something solid for more stable ride.like foot rest .

Keep in mind that you do not need to put the arm rest on if you don't want to. I removed mine for a more comfortable seating. Yes I have a fat b___.

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

You can take off the foot rests for sure (I have them off mine). As for the arm rests I don't know. Sorry I can't help you with that.

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.

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.

nope not very at first. I've learned to live with it. the arm rests slopes down so your arm tends to slide off. not very comfy.

the back is firm and is comfortable, the arm cushions are velcro, both of mine were damaged during shipment, I kept one and sent the other one back when I was notified by the carrier that the box was damaged. The back cushions sit straight up which I find comfortable. I think an older person would do just find with the up and down movement. Hope this helped.

No issues at all. I usually rest my arm on the arm rest while shifting. The arm rest isn't in the way at all (with me at least) even when not resting my arm on it while shifting. So, no issues on my end.

it is better to type without resting your palms anyway. My wife plays the hardest piano pieces ever written and understands very well what gives tendinitis and carpool tunnel. She says your knuckles shouldn't be down, your fingers should stay in a curve while you are typing, and your wrists should also be part of that curve. When you rest your palms, your wrists curve the opposite way. She says you're not supposed to type like that.
