Hello Charla,
The Screws will keep coming out if the timber is shot! You will need either a Rawlplug in the hole or Bigger Screw and or Wood Plug Glued in place first before you try to re-screw. Maybe the chairs could Hope that helps. do with having a tie bar around on the inside to try to stop the spread when sat on.
You can try something like LocTite, which is like a glue to keep screws in place. Or you can get slightly larger screws.
