What You Need to Know About Armrests

An armrest is a part of a chair, where a person can rest their arms and help maintain proper seating posture. Armrests are not just there for aesthetic reasons; they play a significant role in ensuring proper ergonomics and overall comfort. By offering a place to rest our elbows, they help alleviate strain on our arms and shoulders during long periods of sitting. This support can make a world of difference, particularly for those who spend hours at a desk or in front of a computer. There is a growing need for handrails that offer more than support. People want armrests that can adapt to their unique needs, ensuring maximum comfort and convenience. A solution to this problem is multi-dimensional armrests. The armrest surfaces can be adjusted in many directions, allowing for adjustments such as rising, panning, and rotating. The adjustable armrests are typically classified into 2D, 3D, or 4D based on their adjustment functions and directions.

How to use

3D Armrests

Press and hold the button on the outer edge of the armrest stem to raise or lower the armrests to your preferred height, then release the button. The surface can also be moved straightly forward or back, and rotated 40° to the left and right to meet your needs.

4D Armrests

Press and hold the button on the outer edge of the armrest stem to raise or lower the armrests to your preferred height, then release the button. To adjust the width between both armrests, press and hold the button on the inner edge of the armrest. Push the armrest left or right, then release the button. To slide the armrests forward or back, or rotate the angle of the armrest, press and hold the button near the front of the armrest.

4D Armrests with Top Replacement System

The adjustment of 4D Armrests with replaceable magnetic armrest top is the same as 4D armrests. To remove the armrest top, grip the center section and gently lift the armrest's inner side. Next, snap the top onto your current armrest body. Magnetic attachments can guarantee precise alignment with the top of your armrests on every occasion.
