ABSTRACT:
An armrest is provided for attachment to a chair. The chair includes vertical tubular sections which form a portion of a chair frame with open upper ends. Each armrest has a metal reinforcement with an intermediate section and downwardly protruding end sections, the end sections having an intermediate bent portion and two spaced apart portions such that the bent portion and the spaced apart portions define a dimension adapted to frictionally engage the open ends of the upright tubes. The metal reinforcement is formed from a steel rod weldment and a urethane cover is molded onto the rod weldment to support a user's forearm. To assemble the armrests, the end sections are pressed into the open ends of the vertical tubes, thus providing an easily assembled, secure and stable attachment of the armrest to the chair frame.
