Do the arms need to be installed to use or can they be omitted?

Hi, The arms can be omitted with no detriment to the style or function of the chair.

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 do attach to the bottom of the seat, completely separately, so I believe they can be removed.

You can add arms to it. I didn't add them to my chair but you should be able to find them by typing the chair model along with arm rests.

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.

You don't have to add the vertical bars if you don't want to. I believe they would be in the way if they were attached. Hope this helps.

remove the base by unscrewing the thing where the wires come out of. that will seperate the two parts and then you attach the Arms. this thing has horrible instructions.

Hey Emily,Yes, you could not install the arms. The chair is made in such a way that you could use it either way (with our without arms) and not detract from the chair cosmetically, for a different look. Just put the chrome screw caps into the holes for the arms to give it a finished look without the arms. It's a very nice chair for the money, I still love it.

You should have no problem because the arms have articulating joints that allow the horizontal placement to be adjusted as close as you will need without any issues.

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 do not need to be attached, this does not make the chair any less sturdy. It just gives the person using it an option.

No problem to install and remove. Recommend that you have someone with you: extra set of hands is always handy.

I added nothing extra. I just installed the arms with the screws provided. It holds just fine.

The arms are a critical part of the chair's structure. They hold the seat and chair back together. The chair could not function w/o the arms. You could however leave the padded part of the arms off and the chair would work but would be uncomfortable.

The arms can be removed. You have to put the arms on when you assemble it. They can come off easily.

No you don't!! I also suggest you don't try new upper control arms!! They don't fit right. They throw off your alignment!! Just use a saws all and cut bump stops off. It will show you in the install instructions what to do

Yes you can.It is very simple ,You don't have to remove the 2 arms,just remove the 2 cotterpins on the bottom of each arm, That's all you need to do

Yes. You have to screw on the legs during assembly. Or, in your case, you could opt not to install them at all.
