What's the right armrest height for a conference room chair?

Armrests on conference chairs should be at the height where your shoulders are relaxed (not shrugged) when your forearms rest on them — typically 7"–10" above the seat. Too-high armrests force shoulders upward (causing neck and shoulder tension); too-low armrests provide no relief. For a 30" conference table, armrests higher than 9" above the seat may prevent the chair from being pulled close to the table if the armrests hit the table apron — confirm table apron clearance before ordering.
