Do these arms flip all of the way up and back out of the way? I play guitar, and I need a chair where the arms move away and don't hit the guitar

You could probably play easily on this chair, since the arms flip up maybe 5 degrees past the top of the chair itself if you do not require a forward position while playing. 90 degrees maximum ( it will go no farther forward).

Yes. I was going to say that they're flush with the back if the chair, but they actually go a little bit behind the back. I'm on week 9 of owning this chair and I like it more every day. I spend about 35 hours a week in it.

Yes they do......the arms go all the way up and are side by side to the back of the chair.

they flip up, but not all the way up! I don't suggest this chair, as the quality is very bad.

They're very adjustable, which is nice, but it's kind of always a wrestling match getting them right into position. Every time I move them in one direction, something ends up loosening up or something in another direction. Once they're in position, it's fine, it's just a bit of a struggle getting them just right. That being said, they definitely can hang out at basically any point in the arm's vertical range without sagging or whatever, once you get all the joints tightened.

No. The chair just adjusts to your back leaning against it. For a basic office style chair it is hard to beat. I've had it for about 4 months now and still think it is a good solid chair for the price.

mine didnt tilt like may of my other chairs have. im a heavy guy. mine did break just short of 2 years, but honestly, i think that was from the threshhold i was rolling over the last 3 months i had it. the leather is fake and peeled after about a year. i bought another chair from a fat man store that was wider, and ive had that for about 3 months and is trashed already.... im going to buy another one of these, as its lasted longer than other chairs ive paid much more for, and if it wasnt for the threshhold, id probably still be using it.

I've purchased 2 dozen of these chairs and they do not swivel. The only ones that I have found that actually swivel are the type that permanently attach to the floor like 50's diners. They are out there but you will pay a hefty price for them. Good luck.

The height doesn't adjust, but they do flip back and totally out of the way. I use this in a recording studio and it is very helpful when playing a guitar on the chair.

No. The flex from two metal bands give it the motion feel. Slight moment possible in all four directions. Good for avoiding the stiff chair feel, but not good for rocking, the movements are too short and fast.

No, they don't. You use your weight to recline and it's very easy to do. Nice chairs!

First, I love these chairs. They are awesome and look great in my kitchen. Occasionally, I will sit back and have never noticed any discomfort. My back touches the top bar. Most times, especially when eating, you are leaning forward or sitting upright, so I don't think it is a real issue. The padding on the chair was more of a concern for me and these are wonderfully padded chairs. They are very comfortable. I hope this answers your question.

No they don't. I missed my chair for the first time last week and it hurt. If you're not watching what you're doing you can miss the ball or slide off. Sliding off is not really an issue unless you're not paying attention, but be aware that some outfits are more slippery than others! But I like that it rolls most of the time. I just got in a hurry and paid for it. I'd still recommend the chair though; it's helped with my lower back pain a lot.

No, not as far as I can tell. They do swing very easily to the side, though, and stay in place once there. The chair is as advertised- light, comfortable, easy to transport by car. Looks nice, too. :)

Arms are not adjustable... the chair itself will go up or down by the pneumatic handle control and you can adjust the rocking ability by the adjustable knob.

Yes, and to be perfectly honest, they don't work very well. I still have to exert more force than expected to move the furniture. I wouldn't buy these again.

No, only up or down, but the arm rests themselves are amply long enough so backward/forward is not a factor.

Actually no, but it is easier if you tip the foot of the chair down. Out is easy, just grab the arms and lift yourself. They are remarkably comfortable.

No. You can twist them horizontally somewhat, but the only vertical movement is in the shades, not the arms.

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.
