|
 |
Do You guys use armrests on Your chair. If not why ?
Most of my life I was using a normal rotating office chair without armrests without even noticing it.
Some time ago I got cloth version if Ikea Markus chair. it's ok but I've noticed that Armrests are making my elbows hurt, are too low and I ten to lean on them. Also I am a fat ass and they sometimes dig up in my thighs.
Are there any health/posture benefeits to using/not using armrests ?

Armrests... but the desk height must fit otherwise you're indeed fucking up your wrist/elbow/shoulder.

True but in order for chair to fit under desk when not used, armrests must be lower than desk level or adjusted all the time.
Mine are lowet and cant be adjusted. I will unscrew them tomorrow and see if its better

I've tried without armrests and holy crap its impossible lol.
How was I sitting like that as a kid for years... not sure about it but will give it few more hours.
Guess I will need to make some cushions or something.
Anyone have any idea how to add padding to ikea markus chair armrests? The hard rubber ones. Unfortunately I cannot get soft leather ones separately

Armrests are for big gaylords that are afraid the missus won't like if they leave the back of their desks 10-15cm away from the wall so they can have their arms on the top of their desks like real men do

Armrests are an extension surface for my mouse hand. And I use them to lean on when watching videos.
How one could go without armrests is beyond me, that's hardcore masochism bro

I have armrests but I rest my arms on the desk.
Armrests are for vegans and socialists.

True story.
Only hipsters use desk chairs without armrests.

I recently bought myself an Ikea Markus after years spent with a disgusting anti-ergonomic office chair with no optionals whatsoever, and I'm absolutely loving the robust armrests. Feels like a king men

OK I reinstalled armrests on Markus. Could not deal without it.
I will buy some cheap seatbelt padding (yep) and put on there too to add some softness.

It's such a win with this. I can tweak those armrests like crazy, they go up and down, tilt left or right, back and forth and also in and out. |
