What are the benefits of armless conference chairs versus chairs with arms?

Armless conference chairs have real advantages in some situations: they can be positioned closer to the table, they're easier to get in and out of in tight spaces, they're lighter and easier to move when reconfiguring a room, and they reduce per-chair cost. The trade-off is reduced upper-body support during long meetings — arms matter for comfort over 45+ minutes. For short-meeting rooms (huddle spaces, small group rooms), armless is practical. For boardrooms and long-meeting environments, opt for chairs with arms. A mix of both in the same chair family is a practical compromise.
