Can the armrests on a drafting chair be adjusted in height?

On most mid-grade and above drafting chairs, yes — armrests are height-adjustable, typically with a push-button or flip-lever mechanism. Height-adjustable armrests let you position your arms so your shoulders stay relaxed and elbows stay near a 90-degree angle. Some chairs also offer width-adjustable or pivoting armrests for even more ergonomic flexibility. Fixed armrests do exist on lower-cost models and are perfectly serviceable if the height happens to work for the user, but adjustable is always preferable for shared workstations.
