Where can I fix a woobly chair? I love my dining chairs, but they are all woobly.

Best answer about woobly chair?

Answer by Carole Q
You live where? Therefore:
Check for businesses in the want ad section of local newspaper for carpenters or handy man. If that individual can’t help you, perhaps has a suggestion.
Turn chair over. Is it missing the ‘taps’ on bottom? That would be a do-it-yourself fix.

    I just fixed a wobbly stool and now it is all tight again. I used a product from the hardware store and it has a name that is something like “Chair-fixer” or “chair-tight”. It is on the glue aisle. It turned out to be a big bottle of superglue! But it worked! I used it on every leg and rung and I used up the whole bottle, but it was worth it! Just be sure to follow the directions, mainly so that you won’t spill the superglue on the surrounding areas. Good luck!

    Step One
    Turn the chair or table upside down on a soft surface.

    Step Two
    Pull out the wobbly leg or arm–whatever joint has lost its grip.

    Step Three
    Sand the top of the wobbly joint with fine (220-grit) sandpaper until all the old glue is removed.

    Step Four
    Lightly sand the inside of the joint, using the fine sandpaper.

    Step Five
    Wipe away the wood dust with a tack cloth or rag.

    Step Six
    Squeeze a bit of furniture or wood glue such as Dap Swell and Lock around the inside of the hole.

    Step Seven
    Place the furniture leg or arm in the hole. Turn the leg or arm once in the joint to spread the glue evenly.

    Step Eight
    Wipe away excess glue with a damp rag.

    Step Nine
    If needed, tape the leg or arm in position with low-adhesive painter’s tape (see B). This tape (available at paint and hardware stores) won’t leave any residue on your furniture.

    Step Ten
    Check the chair or table regularly to make sure the leg or arm hasn’t moved from its proper position. Remove the tape within 8 hours.

    Step Eleven
    Allow the furniture to dry for 24 to 48 hours before using.
