An arm chair caddy is a nice little organizer that helps you keep the items you use most at your fingertips. As its name states, it fits over the arm of a couch or a sofa. Another way of securing it is to tuck one end under a sofa cushion or a mattress.
In this age of using remote controls, you probably are not used to getting up for everything you need. You don’t want to interrupt your TV or movie watching or stop reading on your mobile device. With an arm chair caddy you can store your paperbacks, TV remote, cellphone, eyeglasses and more. Some of these accessories even have pockets that are large enough to hold an iPad.
An arm chair caddy means that it could be possible for you to live without a nightstand or a headboard with a shelf. It’s also a way to keep the arms of your sofa or couch clean and to fight wear and tear. Finally, it gives you a very inexpensive way to bring some organization to your life.
Some typical materials that arm chair caddies are made of include:
- Leather
- Synthetics
- Knits
- Denim, cotton or canvas
- Nylon
- Plastic
- Wood
You can wipe some materials clean while others are machine washable. Still others are waterproof. For the best maintanance advice, follow the manufacturer's guidelines.
Size matters. An arm chair caddy might have two or more sections. Sure, you could get one with eight sections and bulk it up with everything but the kitchen sink. But the advice here is to use the arm chair caddy for essentials only.
If you need more room for keeping a beverage, keys or something else, caddies with a tray on top are available. Some caddies without a tray can also hold a cup. With a tray, you can even keep a pad by your side for writing notes or a letter.
Many arm chair caddies attach by draping them over the arm of the sofa. If the material with which it is made is slippery, the caddy might not stay In place. Look for one that attaches with Velcro or some other secure method.
Another way for you to attach some of them is to use the coated and bendable piece of wire that comes with it. Others have ends that are long enough to tuck under a cushion. There are other ways of attachment for items in this category. Ask your seller or read online reviews.
