Tablet Arm Chairs

A seat and a writing surface in one

A tablet arm chair gives every student a place to write without a desk. That frees floor space and makes it easy to change a room from rows to small groups and back again. This collection includes tablet arm chairs from KI, National Public Seating, and KFI Studios for classrooms, training rooms, and lecture spaces.

Types of tablet arm chairs

• Mobile seating. KI Learn2 Intellect Wave and Learn2 Strive mobile seating and the CoGo Chair on the Go roll on casters, so the room can regroup quickly. The CoGo adds a wide storage basket, and its tablet works for right- or left-handed students.
• Four-leg tablet chairs. The KI Strive 4-Leg ChangeUp Tablet Arm Chair comes on glides or casters. The Kool Tablet Arm Multi-Purpose Stack Chair stacks when the room is cleared.
• Nesting chairs. The Cadence Nesting Chair with tablet arm nests for compact storage.
• Folding chairs. The Tablet Arm Folding Chair folds with its tablet alongside, meets ANSI/BIFMA standards, and has a 480 lb weight capacity.

For rooms that need more worksurface, compare school chair desks and training tables. You can also browse the full KI Strive seating line, stacking chairs, and our KI Intellect Wave buyer's guide.

Tablet arm chair FAQ

Do tablet arm chairs work for left-handed students?

Some do. The CoGo Chair on the Go tablet works for either hand. For chairs with a fixed tablet, check the product page for left-hand availability before ordering.

What is the difference between a tablet arm chair and a chair desk?

A tablet arm chair has a small writing surface attached to the chair. A chair desk joins a full-size desktop and seat on one frame, which gives more surface area and less flexibility.
