Only get one with arms if they are adjustable and you can lower them. I personally like arms for support since I had hand surgery many years ago. It helps with the position of my hands. I hope he will let you help pick out the one that works best for you.

It depends on the height of your table. I have one with arms, but I don't really use them while sewing. Also, having arms on it means that you have to turn all the way out to get up (say, to press your seams). If I had a choice, I'd get one without arms. The wheels, though, and the cushi-ness of office chairs, makes sewing so much more comfortable. Make sure you get one where the seat rotates independently of the wheel base (I've only seen a couple of chairs that don't have that, but better to make sure!). Happy birthday!

if you have a chance, check out a bungee chair - made with bungee cords on seat and back - really comfortable - I have two and love them both....but to answer your question, no arms, as most others have said.

NO ARMS! Though most of the good quality office chairs come with arms. I chose to assemble my chair so I just didn't install the arms or if the chair comes assembled, make sure you can easily remove the arms. Hope you have a happy birthday!

No arms and adjustable height, with wheels and good back support. Right now I have an antique dinning room chair on wheels but it doesn't have the height adjustment. I have a good office chair but it has arms, and is pretty big for my small room. I have a chair mat on my carpet to make it easy to move around. I'd go to a office supply store or maybe a few and sit and try them out. Happy Birthday
