Staples Chair Arm Parts Replacement Armrest Pads 2pcs Universal 4" Mounting Hole

My old (original) armrests were a bit thicker and more comfortable, but over time the material had cracked open. These new ones were easy to install and fit perfectly (but I DID need to use spacers from my old armrests for the installation). They're not quite as comfy, but they do the job!

I had worn out one of the arm rests on my desk chair, but I didn’t want to replace the entire chair. Fortunately I was able to find these replacement parts on Amazon, and they worked great. As you can see from the photos the old arms (on the left) have a little different shape, but they are sized similarly and most importantly the screw holes on the bottom lined up perfectly. The old arm rests may have had a bit more padding than the replacements, but for most users I can’t imagine that would be of concern.In the last photo you will see two machine screws. The one on the left came with the new arm rests. The one on the right with the blue paint is from the old arm rests. As you can see the new screws are longer than the old ones and as it turned out were actually too long to work on my specific chair. However I couldn’t reuse the old screws because they have a tighter thread pattern than the new arm rests required. I don’t blame the manufacturer for this problem. There is no way they could know the exact chair on which these were to be installed, so I am sure they provide screws that will “work for most.” The screws for most just didn’t happen to work for me. No big deal. I was able to secure shorter screws with the right thread pattern from my local Ace Hardware store for ~$2.00 and complete the installation.Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and am happy to recommend to others.

My chair requires two different length bolts to attach the armrest pads. These come with all four bolts the same length.

Very Well Pleased

Purchased for a Staples chair that is now on its third set of armrest pads. I've been getting a couple of years out of the armrests before the outer skin cracks exposing the foam. These appear to be well made. Time will tell. The only issue is the screws. Screws are provided but are not interchangeable with the 1/4-20 Phillips head screws use on previous pads. That wouldn't be a problem other than the screws provided are more than twice as long. Eyeballing the back screw indicates it would be nearly the width of the pad. I elected to re-thread the armrest using a 1/4-20 bottoming tap rather than cutting the screws, which I presume to be metric. I don't have a die or a nut useful to chase the threads after cutting, a factor leading me to re-tap the threads.

My office chair is several years old, and I've been living with deteriorating arm pads (cracked top surface) for a few months. The wife suggested I "order new ones"--I didn't even know these arm pads were sold separately.These Staples armrest pads should fit your typical office chair, as long as the mounting screw holes are 4 inches apart. They are equal to the "Original Equipment Manufacturer"/OEM arm-pads that came with my office chair (though slightly thinner), and are just as comfortable. The materials--man-made foam interior, with more durable polyurethane surface, atop a metal mounting substructure--are just like OEM.I also like that these arm pads came with 4x M6 mounting screws. The screws also have some type of generic thread locker ("Loctite"). Installation takes only a few minutes, and only requires a Phillips screwdriver.These Staples armrest pads are well made, a good value, and should extend the life of your office chair.

works great for computer chair

I bought these to replace the badly deteriorated armrests on a chair branded "Space". They fit up nicely, look proper, and serve the purpose. That, and they appear to be more durably designed/constructed than the originals. No complaints!

Screws didn’t quite match my holes. Close but not close enough. Still the arms will work fine
