Soft Neoprene Chair Armrest Covers (Complete 2 Piece Set)

I just received my first set of these armrest covers and installed them on my computer desk chair. I am a developer/engineer and behind the computer all day. Prior to these covers, I had towels wrapped around my armrests and secured with zip ties because my elbows would ache after a short amount of time sitting at my desk. I was about to purchase a Herman Miller chair just to have better arm rests, but other than that one complaint, I like my current chair. These armrest covers shipped very quickly, are made in the USA, were really quite easy to install and look great. The armrests on my chair come to a point at the end (do not wrap around), which I would think is probably the hardest install. I had to lace them so that one end wrapped around itself. That being said, it was not difficult to come up with a way to lace the covers in a way that secured them around the end of the armrest. The grommets and laces are of good quality that allowed me to pull the laces very tight. I managed to install these by myself, but I could see where it may be necessary to have an assistant hold the laces tight as you are lacing up the covers on your chair. I don't believe these covers will rotate or move at all on my chair. The extra pad was essential for me, as that is where the majority of the cushioning comes from. I hope that foam pad will hold up over time. It would be perfect to find a gel pad that I could use under the cover, but initially the foam pad is very comfortable. I am so pleased with these covers that I am now ordering a second set for a LazyBoy that I have with solid wood armrests. I have always hated the armrests on that chair and I rarely use it because of them. It would be nice if these armrests were offered in brown to match my LazyBoy, but black generally goes with everything. I will just be happy to be able to have a comfortable armrest on the chair instead of putting my arms to sleep. Thank you for a great American made product!

These reviews are very accurate. I bought them because my chair's arm kept banging into my desk leaving marks. The styrofoam in the pads now allow for my rolling chair to bump into the desk without harming it. A tip to those installing these: when trying to get it tight, every couple of x's pull tight the X closest to the end of the strand to remove the excess slack and then work backwards. This is counter-intuitive, but if you start at the X farthest away from you, you end up losing the slack because you haven't taken away any of the excess string yet. Another tip is to not cut the string when you are done in case you need to adjust anything later. I simply laced excess the string back through the x's and tucked it underneath.Pros: sturdy material, grommets hold up to pulling tightly on the cords, looks nice, good cushioning.Cons: overpriced... I almost didn't purchase these (but I'm glad I did because it solved my problem). Fabric gets bulky around the bend of the arm chair , leaving ripples and grommets showing . Also, very difficult to get laced up tight.

Overall looked good. Did not like the brass ring look. Prefer black to match fabric.

My chair's arms are connected continuously to the back of the chair, so this was the only style of cover that would work. I've worn down the leather on the arms, and it was catching and pulling threads in my sweaters -- not cool.I am SUPER pleased with how well the covers are working. They look sharp -- the grommets actually look cool, a little urban -- and since my chair is black leather with polished and matte steel hardware, the black neoprene looks like it's always been there!The product is very well-made and I expect it to last a long time. The neoprene is thick enough to feel substantial, not flimsy -- yet flexible enough to mold nicely to the arms of my desk chair without obvious folds.The grommets are sturdy and the lacing is thin, so it's quite unobtrusive (and mostly only visible on the underside of the arm anyway), yet seems very strong. We didn't trim it -- we just tucked the ends under in case we needed to snug it up more later.

They don't fit at all with the look of the chair (using them for an office chair) but I was aware of that going in and they fulfilled a need perfectly. I am happy with how they went on and how well they hold, and the comfort is definitely there, they are quite cushy. They seem well made but overpriced for what they are. There are not many good alternatives available that I could find so these are probably going to be your best bet. I am not disappointed with them, but I am also not blown away. They work well and do what they should but make the furniture look cheap in my opinion.

I was skeptical about whether these covers would fit on my mother's chair, a garden variety dining room chair with wooden arms that irritate her elbows. With some help I installed the covers on the arms (by threading the bottom side of the covers like criss cross shoelaces) and the little form really helps the feel of the arms. I have no idea why this simple "device" cost $30 as it's essentially a piece of foam and a cover but be that as it may it works. I would suggest showing not just describing how to thread the laces onto the underside of the arm as I was a bit confused. All in all a good product.

This is the second pair I ordered. The first pair did so well that the chair seat died before the chair arms. I purchased a new chair and immediately ordered this set again. I could not use the first ones over because I had cut the strings on the first chair really short so they couldn't be seen. I guess If I would have just replaced the strings,that would have worked, but I got the entire thing new to go with the new chair. The arms are soft with these on. Take your time putting them on - pull strings taut and they don't move at all. Excellent product. My chair arms were shorter, so I just folded them under. Actually gave even more padding. Buy them, you won't be disappointed.
