I was literally asking my wife last Thursday “Do people actually use arm rests? What are they for besides getting hooked on stuff?” I was talking desk chairs specifically.
Apparently some people do!
I have an exceptionally tall torso and normal arms though so it’s quite rare for my elbow to actually reach an arm rest.
- mr_toad 3y ago> Do people actually use arm rests? Helps you not fall out of the chair when you doze off.
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 3y agoIn my experience arms on a desk chair just get in the way of it fitting under the desk, especially when not sitting in it. When I am sitting in it my arms are on the desk.
- layer8 3y agoOn more ergonomic/modern office chairs, the arm rests can be adjusted forth and back for that reason (look for “3D” or “4D” arm rests).
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 3y ago4th dimensional adjustment? If I set the position in that one does it immediately blink out of existence? (I fixed it in the time dimension.)
- layer8 3y agoFor me it’s the opposite, the arm rests are usually too high for my elbows not to hit them when I relax my shoulders. When looking for a new office chair, there were only very few having arm rests that could be adjusted low enough for me.
- ghaff 3y agoI definitely use the armrests on my Aeron. Not while I'm typing but, if I'm reading something, sure.
