A mechanism for adjusting distance between armrests of office chair includes a manipulating handle, to which a slide member, a base member, and an upper and a lower ratchet washer are sequentially mounted from top to bottom. The two ratchet washers contact with each other either in a tight or a loose relation through control of the manipulating handle. The base member is screwed to an underside of a seat of the chair, and the slide member is slidable relative to the base member with an outer end connected to a lower end of one armrest. By turning the handle in one direction for the two ratchet washers to contact with each other in the loose relation, the slide member can be loosened and adjusted to a desired position relative to the base member and thereby change the distance of a corresponding armrest relative to another armrest.
