5 Easy Steps For Adding The Arms To The Armless Sofa

Adding the arms to an armless sofa can increase the comfort as well as change the style of the sofa. This can be useful for the family environment. Many homeowners or decorators even place a sofa with arms at the ends of their dining room tables. The 5 easy steps for adding the arms to the armless sofa are shown below:
  1. Board: The first step is to place a 1 by 2 by the 12-inch board with its end against the backrest of the armless sofa and its largest side must face the sideways. Hold down the board at the desired height for the arm. Markdown the location of the board on the backrest of the sofa.
  2. Drill Two Holes: Through the backrest of the sofa and in the armrest board drill two holes. Secure 3-inch wood screws in each of the holes and tighten them completely so that the board will be firmly attached to the sofa. Repeat the same process with another arm board on the other side of the sofa.
  3. Another Board: Place 1- by 2- by the 8-inch board that must be perpendicular to the armrest board and the largest side must face to the sideways. Secure one end of the new board against the bottom of the armrest board, at the end of the board. Place the other end of the new board, that is the armrest support board, with the side of the sofa seat, this will help to keep the side of the armrest support board flush with the side of the chair seat.
  4. Drill Holes: Into the armrest support board and in the sofa seat drill the holes, or the user can drill out from within the sofa if possible. Screw down 3-inch wood screws into the holes and then tighten them completely to secure the armrest support board with the sofa properly.
  5. Joint: Now in this step the user needs to adjust the joints that are in between the armrest board and the armrest support board and then drill 2 holes down into the top of the armrest and armrest support board. Secure 3-inch wood screws right in the holes and then tighten them to attach the boards altogether. Repeat the process to fasten another support board to the other side of the sofa.
