Whether it's in the theater or the train, many have fought for that center armrest leaving one with the utmost comfort and the other in bitter hatred; however, the Paperclip Armrest by James Lee is going to solve that problem.
Instead of threateningly eye-balling the person next to you, the Paperclip Armrest will make sure that the two of you gets that center armrest. It's a genius concept that integrates a dual-level design so that two people can share the comfort while sitting down. The armrest curves upward like a hook which allow one person to rest their arm in the top position, while the other on the nook at the bottom. The space could be a little tight, but it's still an idea that works.
