I had an old Ikea desk chair with wooden armrests that were forever wobbly. Their choice of fasteners was flawed, once regular use loosened the nuts holding the armrests on, they were impossible to tighten securely. No wonder they don't make them anymore. I decided to simply remove the armrests. Their form was very nice however, made from bent, laminated wood. It suddenly occurred to me that I could probably transform them into a laptop desk for a bed, and since I had promised to make one for Shannon anyway...
