What is an "armrest"?
An armrest is a part of a chair, sofa, or other seating furniture designed to support the arms of a person sitting. It is typically located on either side of the seat and can be padded or made from materials like wood, metal, or plastic. Armrests provide comfort by giving the arms a place to rest and help reduce strain on the shoulders and neck. They can also add to the design and style of the furniture, with various shapes and finishes available to suit different preferences.
