Hackers Help: Have you seen this chair?

I have an IKEA chair purchased sometime between 2010-2018 and it could not have been more than $20 – $40.

Possibly one of those deal of the week / deal of the month situations.

I would describe it as a stripped down version of the POÄNG.

It has four legs and a simple metal frame. The chair cover slips over and is secured by Velcro underneath the seat.

Even without much back support it’s still pretty comfortable!

However, I cannot find the name of this item anywhere (old catalogs, Google image search, WayBackMachine, etc).

Have you seen it before?

Hi Michelle

I thought it was an IKEA NOLBYN high-back armchair, which I found a photo of on Amazon UK.

However, on closer inspection, the bones don’t match. The back screws are situated much lower than yours. And the armrests are narrower.

The IKEA NOLBYN comes with a slip-on headrest.

But it’s pretty darn close.

The IKEA NOLBYN was discontinued. Its minimalist style continues in a very similar looking but shorter NOLMYRA.

And the mystery continues. Can anyone identify Michelle’s IKEA chair?

Sliding Bookcase Doors KALLAX hack to divide your rooms

I replaced single-glazed sliding doors that divided the sitting room and dining room with a sliding KALLAX bookcase. For one “door”, I used two 2×2 cubes and one 2×1 unit. As we already owned 4 separate KALLAX 2×2 cubes and they seemed to be exactly the same width as the internal doors, we thought it might be possible to stack them. With one additional 2×1 KALLAX they almost matched the height of the internal doors. Sliding KALLAX bookcase doors in closed position First, still a work in progress but let us show you how it looks from the dining room, when the units are pushed together to close up the doorway. And the units pushed apart to enter the living room. We can access the storage cubes from both sides — from the dining or living room — which is so very useful. What I like most is, when viewed from the living room, when closed, it looks almost like a built-in unit.
