An armrest provided with a writing surface for a seated user, such armrest being of narrow, elongate construction and having a rear end, a front end, an interior portion and an upper portion. A usable surface of elongate configuration is disposed in the upper portion of the armrest, with this usable surface being supported in a manner enabling the usable surface to be slidably withdrawn from the front end of the armrest, and thereafter to be returned at the option of the user to a retracted location in the interior of the armrest. The usable surface is unimpaired as a writing surface by virtue of the slidable mounting for this member being located on the underside of the usable surface. A tiltable writing surface may be hingedly mounted on the usable surface, with the tiltable writing surface having a device thereon by which writing material can be removably attached to the tiltable writing surface. An advantageous arrangement is provided for supporting the tiltable writing surface in a desired angular relationship to the usable surface, latter arrangement enabling the user to select the particular angle at which a writing pad or other such writing material can be maintained. A storage container may be utilized in the interior of the armrest, with a hinged lid forming the cover for the storage container. In the preferred embodiment, the usable surface is slidably mounted in the interior of the hinged lid.
