The soft computer chair that I use has arms and the arm hits my right ribs as I lean over it to use the mouse on a nearby table.

The arm, like the rest of the chair has corduroy cloth over padding that's very comfortable except for that right arm!

The chair's arm is made from solid molded plastic.

It was easy to remove the arm and cut the arm rest away and retain the bottom part that supports the back rest.

I went to Staples store to see what they had and talk it over. They sell chairs that have swing out of the way arms, no arms and arms that adjust however everything in stock is leather or plastic covered except they still sell the chair I use.

I prefer this soft cloth covering.

I thought you were going to have a picture of your chair after a 6 month old puppy got done with it.
