Materials:
- IKEA TULLSTA
- Old chair base
The back legs on the TULLSTA chair quickly began to weaken and threatened to break if someone sat down too quickly. We had an old rocking chair from the ’70s; orange, worn and ugly. But I was very lucky because it had an excellent base that was easily mounted to the bottom of the TULLSTA with eight lag bolts. Then, it was just a question of moving the spider further back to achieve perfect balance.
