Replacement Chair legs

    I all,

    I'm looking for 2 replacement legs for 2 dining chairs.
    The chairs are the fairly common high back leather chair with wooden legs.
    We've tried reinforcing them but they still wobble and wouldn't be too confident on them lasting.

    My local builder suppliers doesn't have them. Hardly have to go looking for new chairs would I?

    Picture or a link to something similar might help

    If you do get something, how will you attach them in a way that will be stronger than currently?

    If its the chair style I'm thinking of, then yes, you will. These legs are profiled to marry to the seat section at the base and held with a long cross-section bolt. I've seen this before; once its gone, you're screwed. And no amount of patchwork will return it to a safe, useable state. You would need to rebuild it (outside the capabilities of a lot of DIYers due to tools needed) or replace.

    As Davy suggested, PICS.

    Here's a pic...

    Looking at the underneath, its just the leg thats broken, it looks like if you loosened the screws holding the legs in place that you could replace the legs and refix.

    Detailed pic of the affected area would help:)
