How to Fix a Wobbly Leg on a Solid Wood Chair

Введение

Wobbly chairs are not only uncomfortable, but often carry a safety risk.

This guide takes you through a method of reinforcing wobbly wooden chair legs through the use of metal L-brackets. Some level of experience with a cordless drill is preferable for this fix, though some minor handling instructions are covered in the guide.

    • Position an L-bracket as if it will brace the leg to the frame of the chair.

    • Mark the exact outline of the bracket, taking extra care when marking the center hole where your screws will hold the brace in place.

    • It might be beneficial to "x" the through the marked circles to approximate the exact center for the screw to enter.

    • If possible, detach your chair legs.

    • In the case you cannot detach your chair legs, consider buying longer L-brackets so you still have enough room to hold your drill parallel to the chair surfaces.

    • Before drilling any holes, ensure that your drill bit is slightly smaller than the width of your screw. This will result in a more secure hold.

    • Pre-drill holes through the center of your marked circles on both your chair legs and chair frame.
