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.

First, thoroughly assess your chair for loose elements.
-
Sit and jiggle them to test and note exactly what moves.
-
-
-
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.
-
-
-
-
If so, consider marking the drill bit to your desired depth.
-
-
-
Pre-drill holes through the center of your marked circles on both your chair legs and chair frame.
-
-
-
Using the drill, secure your L-brackets to the chair legs first.
-
-
-
For extra hold and durability, use a small amount of wood glue at the chair legs joints.
-
Be sure to wipe away any excess wood glue.
-
-
-
Tighten any preexisting hardware holding the legs to the chair base before fixing the L-bracket to the chair.
-
-
-
Finally, screw the second side of the L-bracket to the base of the chair.
-
Reassemble any remaining loose pieces as they were disassembled unless otherwise noted.
