buy two more chairs and raise the height to your arms when sitting.

been wanting to do this to a shitty walmart chair i got last semester.

i think best idea would be to make two brackets that screw onto the base of the seat where the piston attaches. then attach a couple of square tubes or something to those with upholstered wood rests on top.

it depends on what the layer that the butt cushion is on top of is made of.

I've installed arm rests on one that had a plywood cushion base. I just measured, then tapped the holes then bolted them on.

the armrests were taken off an office chair with a broken leg someone left out for the garbage men to take.

This is /diy/ not /buy/ take your buyfag garbage elsewhere

Op, salvage two chairs, maybe when a local office upgrades or dumpsterdive, then take the arms off of those chairs and raise the new chairs up to your arms.
