How to Fix a Wobbly Leg on a Solid Wood Chair

はじめに

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.

    • 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.
