Abstract: A chair arm having a removable decorative panel to permit the appearance of the chair to be easily changed to adapt to a variety of decors. The arm includes a frame having a channel running along the opposite sides thereof. The decorative panel is slidably received by the arm at the channel within the frame. The decorative panel has a color and/or texture that is chosen to coordinate with a room or office decor.
