What armrest materials are used on executive chairs?

Executive chair armrests come in padded fabric, padded polyurethane (PU), leather-wrapped, wood-topped, and hard plastic versions. Padded PU armrests are the most common — comfortable, durable, and easy to maintain. Leather-wrapped armrests add elegance but may crack over time. Wood-capped armrests suit traditional or executive aesthetic. Hard plastic armrests are the lowest-cost option and found on entry-level executive chairs. The armrest padding wears faster than the seat, so material quality matters. OfficeFurniture2go.com — call 1-800-460-0858.
