How do I fix wobbly legs on a barstool?
+3
I have a bar stool with wobbly legs. I thought I saved a tip for fixing one, but I don't find it.
Suggested Project Book
Please let us know what kind of construction they have.
If they are wood glued into sockets, in the long run, they’ll need to be removed, cleaned up and re-glued with the addition of some diagonal re-enforcing screws or brackets.
If they are hollow tubular steel and a weld is broken, JB Weld products do a great job with proper prep work.
Brenda: maybe this will help!

You can loosen everything up, clean the parts, then tighten everything back together, depending on what it's made out of. You could try a Locktite if there are screws in wood.
Hi Brenda, here are 2 ideas to hopefully help you out,

Solution: Check over the entire frame to ensure each bolt is tight, and use an Allen key to tighten any that may have come loose. If all the bolts are tight but the frame still wobbles, you will need to loosen each one, realign the frame and the seat and then tighten them again evenly.
I can't find the way to resolve the question. It has been resolved now, and I thank you all for taking the time to respond with great tips!
Hi Brenda,
The best ways have already been described, but if that is beyond you, then you could always use a screw into each leg from the seat. Countersink it, fillit with wood filler and then paint or stain or add a cushion pad! Best wishes.
