My chair armrests are cracked and worn, but the rest of the chair is fine. Can I buy replacement armrests, or do I need a whole new chair?
Yes – most office chairs have replaceable armrests. Here's how:
| Armrest Type | Replaceable? | Where to Find |
|---|---|---|
| Universal bolt-on (2 screws) | ✅ Yes | Amazon, office supply stores |
| Brand-specific (Herman Miller, Steelcase, etc.) | ✅ Yes | Manufacturer website or dealer |
| Fixed integrated (molded into seat) | ❌ No | Only if whole seat replaced |
| Height-only with plastic covers | ⚠️ Maybe – covers only | Often not worth it |
DIY steps:
Look under armrest for screws or release button
Remove old armrest
Match hole spacing (usually 2.5" or 3" center-to-center)
Install new armrest
