We place an extra 1/2 padding under the existing cushion (between the plastic shell and the existing foam pad) so it wouldn't necessarily be visible by the naked eye.
Please hear me out! :D Can the armrests be swapped between them? (Left one taken out from the bottom screws and put on the right side in order to have them more on the back than normal? I am asking that because I NEED those armrests way in the back, to be able to be closest to the desk as possible and stay straight with the elbow right a bit behind my shoulder...
@@CrandallOfficeFurniture Thanks for the response! I would have tried... I only have the leap v2, and on this chair this thing is not possible because of the way the armrest are tied to the seat/backrest mechanism. :) Maybe in the future! :)
@@Woot-Zee I believe the Leap v2 has the same arm rests as the Amia. However, my Amia shouuuuuld arrive today (UPS tracking had estimated yesterday), so I’ll try it out real quick when I go to assemble it.
Ok, chair arrived! Without removing the arm rests… the pads can adjust far enough back that the back edge of the chair is behind the seat back fabric. I didn’t immediately see a way to remove the arm rests (there’s a mechanism that doesn’t let you use the adjustment to lift them out of the socket). Now that I just got back, I see in your comment that I would need to unscrew them… I’m not willing to do that with a chair I just got 😅 With that said, I got the adjustable arm pad option, and it seems to have quite a wide range of adjustment. You are ergonomically “supposed” to sit with your monitor screen about an outstretched-arm’s length away from you and your eyes… plenty of space for arm rests to lead to a table (and palm rests) and a keyboard. Maybe what you need isn’t a chair that tucks in super tight to your desk, but rather a stand that allows your screen to be the right distance away from you and the chair? If desktop space is at a premium, I wholeheartedly recommend a VESA arm mount for your monitor that lets you swing the screen to the perfect distance, freeing up desk surface space, and also lets you swing a screen back or even off to the side when you have some desk time that isn’t computer time. My IKEA desk is somewhat narrow, but a spring-loaded monitor arm made a huge difference for me, and might be an inexpensive fix for you as long as you aren’t very limited by how much space you have behind your chair. In any case, best luck to you!
@@evshrug Wow.! thanks for the lengthy response! :) I know the way I suppose to sit, I even have an ergo monitor support, but no luck. :( I am the problem, and the way I sit and my condition on how I am forced to sit like that. :D I tried Leap V2 for a week, and I needed at least 3-4 centimeters for a comfortable position. The armrests are the same on both chairs, yes, but the way they are fixed to the chair is different. (I am sure that they cannot be swapped entirely on the Leap and that was my curiosity if they can be swapped on the Amia, at least theoretically) Pls do not even try to swap, them, just look. :D On the Leap is not possible even with a screwdriver. :D PS: May your chair keep you in good health and happy! :)
Please check out this video and see if it helps. The cylinder can sometimes be that low. Is it dragging on the floor at all? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GuNl7AA03Iw.html
