    go to a habitat for humanity store and buy an old chair with sturdy legs and replace them to your chair ...glue and clamps are needed..try gorilla glue it is the best

      @Ramona Lundrigan Sturge Thank you for that idea. A store is just a couple miles from me so I will look there.

    It looks to me that only the front of the chair has decorative dowels?? Just buy another "plain" dowel the same size, cut to length you need....you will have to get the "broken" pieces out of the holes and PROBABLY sand the ends so they fit, glue in exsisting clean holes and your done....or if it is decorative there is a website craftparts.com that has decorative dowels, and many more websites online....you will have to search. And they are cheap....like under a dollar a piece...Good Luck!!

    Have u tried removing a leg n taking it to the local lumber company, they might know someone with a lathe who could turn a perfect match. Or try looking at stair spindles. Simebofvthem maybe sturdy enough to use as chair legs. Jumping out of the box n let ur imagination take over.

      @Thank You, Robbie Sanders We are going to try to remove one of each. They are very tightly glued.

    If all else fails, Home Depot store and online carries a variety of table/chair legs

    U might try heating the leg where it's glued, using a hair dryer, this may help in getting it out.
