Problem:

The chair I have been using in my computer room has finally given way and could no longer be height adjustable. I need it to be high enough to work comfortably. Also, the uber-comfortable Ikea MALUNG chair I already have is too low and not height adjustable at all.

So on I went to Ikea to shop for a new office chair. I settled on a RM299 MOSES. As I browsed the shelves of parts, an idea hit me. Why don’t I just make the chair I already have higher?

I took home the wheeled-base of a SNILLE, as the seat itself was sold separately. Placed the MALUNG on top, applied some reinforcements and voila!

The foot was only RM20, and now I have a working working chair.
