There is also a single 10mm timber slat on the underside of the base to hold your weight. <br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCHJozX7hvOeICkji98dlybf3Cn6ZSvy9TCtHJ5V41vD7dMqDzPEMzsDFNwGTsU5TQxTDoAbWgeFMcOsttdazaH6TsJbJ9ZEHzdSlXIZCNoK-nXdiR3Z3IGORNjKdtXit0xgrlESqSxh0/s1600/IkeaChair9-713003.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5874873650304698642" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCHJozX7hvOeICkji98dlybf3Cn6ZSvy9TCtHJ5V41vD7dMqDzPEMzsDFNwGTsU5TQxTDoAbWgeFMcOsttdazaH6TsJbJ9ZEHzdSlXIZCNoK-nXdiR3Z3IGORNjKdtXit0xgrlESqSxh0/s640/IkeaChair9-713003.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOuPraI67k1eMcahIFAiQpGZpPpqngKGkQPBGfLqGixKIZOoUyqqCERyliRLpcUz2LnyX6yWsMnL40OZnmsEf4nyPCqGJQyJ6KFUFmgg2smG2d7aEGy8HRzmyFY26RmrGsKInfb1MmozY/s1600/IkeaChair5-715746.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5874873661548400050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOuPraI67k1eMcahIFAiQpGZpPpqngKGkQPBGfLqGixKIZOoUyqqCERyliRLpcUz2LnyX6yWsMnL40OZnmsEf4nyPCqGJQyJ6KFUFmgg2smG2d7aEGy8HRzmyFY26RmrGsKInfb1MmozY/s640/IkeaChair5-715746.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihR2Ub5b3yz-fpBT7N6-sL3dANwGwUvC7hgIu7VwuX3LyCn9TnSK4TB7QLIS9ZxUVrI_2akn4cniPy7XKic3xbXQyW9b440_Zf-6lOn5Akrra3rEdjwzeTBPrlKra4lwtAo1IxL-bGG34/s1600/IkeaChair4-719266.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5874873674486600258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihR2Ub5b3yz-fpBT7N6-sL3dANwGwUvC7hgIu7VwuX3LyCn9TnSK4TB7QLIS9ZxUVrI_2akn4cniPy7XKic3xbXQyW9b440_Zf-6lOn5Akrra3rEdjwzeTBPrlKra4lwtAo1IxL-bGG34/s640/IkeaChair4-719266.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1_2QukK8GcoJwfFpSH0aeoTjpVulmqU9JB61Sgg1mZsv-zJf1wVlZucXa2JKPDM7U4fB7kYyhvymrTheSG9ouwKIEGZ2ZRpW3z-7pstzym0t-DekpF3sapwzW38isyCZQTAQDeb4wyX0/s1600/IkeaChair8-723008.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5874873695247736834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1_2QukK8GcoJwfFpSH0aeoTjpVulmqU9JB61Sgg1mZsv-zJf1wVlZucXa2JKPDM7U4fB7kYyhvymrTheSG9ouwKIEGZ2ZRpW3z-7pstzym0t-DekpF3sapwzW38isyCZQTAQDeb4wyX0/s640/IkeaChair8-723008.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><br />I also wanted to inject some color so taped up the original timber sides and sprayed a bright orange over the rest. <br /><br />Oh and you will need to to notch out the original arms to allow for the overhang of the ply or it won't go back together. <br /><br />So for around $10 for the ply, $6 for the rivets I've got a pretty cool and comfy chair.
