Can this chair be used without the arms?

It would ruin the overall integrity of the chair. The back would become wobbly real quick I believe. I am not a certified structural engineer but I believe this would happenHope this helps

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.

I believe the back would become unstable after a period of time. As the arms are attach to both the bottom and top making the chair more sturdy.

No. It gives support to the back and would leave unsightly holes on the side of chair and back where it should be bolted in. Good chair though. Very comfortable

You could leave the chair arms off if you wish. For me it would not be as comfortable. I like having a place to rest my own arms. I don't see where the arms are related to the overall structure of the chair.

I don't think you can add arms......if you have good balance then it will work for you...if not, need one with arms

I agree with Hiker. The two arms are fixed and they would have to match up with the chair somehow or other. If the chair's arms are removeable, they might not be strong enough to keep the chair secured to the rack. ayou might be able to hang the chair from the wheels, upside down.

Hi, Yes, the arms can be removed if they are not needed. Thank you, Ray SMS

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

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.

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.

I bought the chair for guitarists in a recording studio so naturally I left the arms off. It's your choice. The chair is quite solid without the arms.

The arms are snapped into place with snap buttons and are NOT required for the integrity of the chair. The arms, if taken off, would not be available for support of the individual going into or out of the chair. If that support is available elsewhere such as handles in the shower, then no problem. The chair is very stable without the arms.

The arms are a single piece screwed to the bottom of the chair. If you do not want the arms on it, do not screw them on.

No. The arms are required to make the chair stable. Seat height is 16.25" to 19"

I do not think the handles are structurally necessary, so when the chair is assembled the handles can be omitted. But they are handy; the person using the chair can use the handles for stability. I have had ghe chair a long time, so I don't remember this well. We like the chair.

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

Yes, the can be used without the tray. I didn't add it and the chair is great!

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.

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.
