Markus / Leap v1 / Freedom - How easy to remove arm rests?

Curious about how easy it is to remove arm rests from these three items. IKEA Markus, Steelcase Leap v1, Humanscale Freedom. Hoping people in these forums can advise before I buy! I like the idea of having arm rests I can remove and put back on as I please, or at least fold away or something similar.

Can only speak for leap 1 but they can go so low that you'll never touch them. Didn't try and remove as that was good enough for me

I have a Ikea Markus and the arm rests can be removed by 4 bolts.

Ikea Markus arms come off easily, Took all of 20 seconds to fit them when I built mine.

I have the Humanscale freedom and like the leap you can put them low enough that your elbows wont touch.

You would have to remove a couple of small pins to remove them, not needed though.
