a post for mounting to the chair, the post comprising a substantially upright inner post member;
a first member that is operatively connected to the post, wherein the first member is angularly adjustable relative to the post about a first substantially upright axis between first angular movement limits, the arm assembly comprising non-discrete angular adjustment positions of the first member relative to the post between the first angular movement limits; and
an armrest that is operatively connected to the first member to translationally slide generally forward and rearward relative to the first member between first translational movement limits, the arm assembly comprising non-discrete translational adjustment positions of the armrest relative to the first member between the first translational movement limits, and
wherein the armrest is angularly adjustable relative to the first member about a second substantially upright axis between second angular movement limits, the arm assembly comprising non-discrete angular adjustment positions of the armrest relative to the first member between the second angular movement limits,
wherein the armrest comprises a slide plate comprising a slot, wherein the second substantially upright axis extends through the slot to enable the translational sliding and the angular adjustment of the armrest relative to the first member.
