Couch Arm Wrap promises to protect couch potatoes’ drinks

For apartment-dwellers who have no space for a coffee table, an unusual new alternative has been dreamed up: the Couch Arm Wrap.

Designed by Blisscraft&Brazen, these wooden arm wraps are custom-made for the user’s couch, armchair or ottoman.

“They make a fantastic surface for a drink or laptop. No more precariously balancing items while you watch TV!” Blisscraft&Brazen says on Etsy.com.

“We make these arm wraps by expertly laminating planks of solid wood lumber that we have dried, planed and cut.

“Our arm wraps are not screwed, nailed or made with any kind of metal fasteners. They are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside, and will not mar your couch whatsoever.”

Perhaps other pieces of household furniture could be transformed in a similar way. Can you think of any ideas?
