Arms are comfortable, but also a design problem ... at least in that case.
As to the Electrolux problem, what's the wrong with a few out-of-sight dust bunnies?
Brandes chairs
Heh. You should see my house . . . But for those who are more particular, regular vacuuming is unavoidable. And if it can be done without damaging the furniture, then I'm all for it. The problem is that implements usually mark the woodwork in exactly the same place every time, accelerating the accumulated damage . . .
Chair arms become more important for low seating -- as an aid to getting into and (especially) out of the seat -- as well as for comfort while sitting. With the skirt projecting out below the seat of this chair, one hasn't even the advantage of placing one's feet advantageously for arising.
I tried a horizontal arm on the Brandes chair, but it didn't work out ergonomically. A broader arm than my 3 1/2" would have been useful as a mini-table . . . ?

Thomas Lee was a genius!

No hole in the arm, but if one would find it difficult to balance a cocktail on that arm, it would certainly be "last call"...
