Frame of chair broken
by
Martha
The underneath workings of our chair has broken. the slat that holds the springs has snapped into 2 pieces and some of the springs have come off. Does this sound like the job for a professional or is there hope that we can repair it.

I would think that you could use some wood glue and clamp it while it dries and it would be good as new. Can you position the springs back where they were?!

to add to above post - if enough room allows you could brace it with another board (piece of plywood cut to size) along the full length of the two glued and clamped pieces with screws

Put a new slat on over the broken one, will work fine. If you take the broken one off you are going to be fighting an iron Anaconda!
