fix a wobbly chair leg<\/strong>, let&#8217;s first know the reasons that result in a <strong>wobbling chair<\/strong>. With time, wooden chairs develop a wobbly chair syndrome. Let&#8217;s go through the causes that contribute to this syndrome.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wear_and_tear_with_time\"><\/span>Wear and tear with time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Chairs carry the weight of multiple people sitting on them. People don&#8217;t sit straight in a chair all the time. They tend to move, lean back, lean sideways, and twist and turn, to find their comfortable position. Now, as people move around while sitting on a chair, their weight increases the stress received by the joints. As a result, the joints become loose or weak, making a chair wobbly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shrinking_of_the_wood\"><\/span>Shrinking of the wood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Temperature and humidity also has a role to play in turning a chair wobbly. The wood tends to expand and shrink with changes in temperature and humidity. This expansion and contraction of wood make the joints loose or weak. This is another reason for a wobbly chair.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Poor_craftsmanship\"><\/span>Poor craftsmanship<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If a wooden chair is poorly crafted, it&#8217;s more likely to become wobbly in a short span. Therefore the quality of the chair is a factor here.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ineffective_repair\"><\/span>Ineffective repair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When people notice their chairs have turned wobbly, they try to fix a wobbly chair by applying glue. That&#8217;s only a temporary solution. In a few days, that ineffectively repaired chair is expected to turn wobbly again.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uneven_chair_leg\"><\/span>Uneven chair leg<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes, all four legs of a chair aren&#8217;t equal. When one leg is shorter than others, the chair loses its stability. It keeps rocking back and forth.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Missing_or_broken_parts_of_a_chair\"><\/span>Missing or broken parts of a chair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Wooden chairs are mostly sturdy. Therefore they are unlikely to be broken. This usually happens in swivel-style chairs, like gaming chairs or office chairs. Sometimes, the seat&#8217;s hardware is faulty, while other times the wheels are unstable. Swivel chairs are also likely to have a faulty seat plate and missing screws, which makes them wobbly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Required_Tools_and_Materials\"><\/span>Required Tools and Materials<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before going into the details on how to get a wobbly<strong> wooden chair repaired<\/strong>, it&#8217;s important to know what tools and materials are needed for this DIY project.

A lot of times people get puzzled seeing a wobbly chair and end up replacing it with a new one, even though it&#8217;s new. When it&#8217;s possible to fix a wobbly chair in simple DIY steps, why would you invest in a new chair again?<\/p>\n<p>This guide enlists various methods in which one can <strong>repair a wobbly chair <\/strong>and make it comfortable again. Let&#8217;s go through the methods one by one below.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install_a_furniture_leg_riser\"><\/span>Install a furniture leg riser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2489 size-full\" title=\"Install a furniture leg riser\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quiethome.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Install-a-furniture-leg-riser.jpg\" alt=\"Install a furniture leg riser\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quiethome.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Install-a-furniture-leg-riser.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.quiethome.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Install-a-furniture-leg-riser-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.quiethome.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Install-a-furniture-leg-riser-768x644.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is an easy trick to fix a wobbly chair in a short time. Needless to mention, this is a temporary solution and your chair is likely to rock again after a few days.<\/p>\n<p>Do you know what furniture leg risers are? These are small items that come in different shapes and sizes in the market. These are used to increase the height of an<strong> uneven chair leg<\/strong>, making the chair stable. Using a furniture leg riser is simple. You simply have to measure the length of the <strong>uneven chair leg<\/strong> and how far it is from the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Pick a furniture leg riser of the appropriate size and hammer it to the bottom of that chair leg.<\/p>\n<p>If you cannot find a furniture leg riser in your local market, grab it at affordable rates on any online home improvement store!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apply_glue_to_loose_joints_and_reassemble_the_chair\"><\/span>Apply glue to loose joints and reassemble the chair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is the second method to fix <strong>wobbly chair legs<\/strong>. It provides long-lasting results, if followed properly. Let\u2019s see how it is done.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mark_every_part_of_the_chair\"><\/span>Mark every part of the chair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>You must label the parts in numbers or letters, as per your convenience. You must be wondering what the purpose of labeling the parts is. This marking system would help you assemble the parts in the end.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disassemble_the_parts_of_the_chair_carefully\"><\/span>Disassemble the parts of the chair carefully<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The parts must be joined together by screws and bolts. Remove them carefully using an electric screwdriver. After that, remove the joints by gently hitting them with a hammer or rubber mallet. If the joints are secured by glue, you might be required to hit it with force. However, make sure this doesn&#8217;t damage the chair.<\/p>\n<p>After removing the screws, bolts and joints, it&#8217;s time to inspect the chair thoroughly. If you notice any problem, it&#8217;s better to repair them along the way.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clean_the_old_joints\"><\/span>Clean the old joints<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Old joints are likely to become old. Now, remove the existing glue on the joints using sandpaper. The pins and mortise holes must also be cleaned. This is important because the next time when you apply wood glue to assemble the parts, it would be more effective. Wood glue works best when applied to bare wood. Therefore, removing traces of old glue is required for better results. If you decide to skip this part, your chair is likely to get wobbly soon.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apply_glue\"><\/span>Apply glue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>After cleaning the joints and other parts, it&#8217;s time to apply fresh glue to set the joints in place.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dKqIVWTpIiA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reinstall_the_chair_legs_and_weigh_down_the_seat\"><\/span>Reinstall the chair legs and weigh down the seat.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Now that everything is done, it&#8217;s time to reassemble the chair. Place the chair legs in their appropriate position. Use a rubber mallet and hammer each of the legs into the right joints multiple times, until they are properly fitted. Do not start using the chair immediately. Keep it aside for some time, to ensure the wood glue is completely dry.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apply_wood_finish\"><\/span>Apply wood finish<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This step can be skipped. Applying wood finish only enhances the look of the chair. Besides, a wood finish would provide moisture to the wood and hide the scratches or imperfections, if any. After conducting any DIY\u00a0 project, the wooden chair is likely to get scratches. That doesn&#8217;t look pleasant to the eyes. To hide such scratches, applying wood finish is a great solution!<\/p>\n<p>Once you apply the liquid on the wooden chair, allow it to sit for 20 to 20 minutes. Let it penetrate into the wood and give it a fresh glow. After 30 minutes, take a clean cloth and wipe the chair dry.<\/p>\n<p>Before applying a wood finish on the entire chair, experts advise homeowners to test it by applying to a small area and see the results.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cd4v0WaSY6E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Don&#8217;t miss:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quiethome.life\/fix-office-chair-leans-back\/\">How To Fix An Office Chair That Leans Back Too Far<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quiethome.life\/how-to-fix-a-squeaky-desk-chair\/\">How to Fix a Squeaky Desk Chair<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Fix_a_Wobbly_Swivel_Chair\"><\/span>How to Fix a Wobbly Swivel Chair?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2481 size-full\" title=\"How to Fix a Wobbly Swivel Chair\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quiethome.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-Fix-a-Wobbly-Swivel-Chair.jpg\" alt=\"How to Fix a Wobbly Swivel Chair\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quiethome.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-Fix-a-Wobbly-Swivel-Chair.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.quiethome.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-Fix-a-Wobbly-Swivel-Chair-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.quiethome.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-Fix-a-Wobbly-Swivel-Chair-768x644.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Swivel chairs are mostly likely to get wobbly due to damaged wheels or seat plate or missing screws and bolts.
