How To Make Your Ikea Chair The Ultimate Sled

The ultimate sled is sitting in your home right now -- literally.

If you're like most of us, you undoubtedly have a few Ikea items inside your home and a ton of snow outside. What you might not know is that the ultimate sled is sitting in your living room right now.

All you need, according to Instructables designer Jonathan Odom, is an Ikea POÄNG chair and a little imagination.

Granted, it will take a few tools to put the sled together after going through the pain of assembling Ikea furniture, but it's well worth the effort.

For more step-by-step instructions, head over to instructables.com to see just how Odam turned the chair into the best snow shredder ever.

Keep in mind the world of Ikea hacks does not have to end there, either. Try these Ikea tricks to turn your old utility cart into a chic bar cart, or make your old nesting table into an incredible ottoman.
