How to DIY convert chair to be armless
I acquired a nice office chair for free, but I need it to be armless to fit my desk. The issue is that the arms are structurally necessary, as the back is only attached to the seat through the arms (Example, notice the four bolts in the arm). Is there a good way of replacing the arm pieces with L-shaped parts that attach to both pieces and preserve the structural integrity? Would cutting wood to shape work? 3D printing? Would I need a metal bracket? It just has to be strong enough to support the back in the same way with four bolts on either side. Interested in what folks recommend. submitted by /u/Yrevyn [link] [comments]
