Grateful for any help

Are you looking to fix it or buy a new one?

How badly and where is the leg broken? It might be repairable


If you're looking to replace the whole chair, a bigger picture of the chair would help

Try places like harvey norman etc... for the chair but if it's a few years old it could be difficult to get hold of an exact match

I was doing something else when I put this up

I want to buy a new leg, they just unscrew.

Does anyone know where I might get one?

Well if there's any info on any of the chairs undersides, or any tags that might have details take them down. Also measure it, or bring an unscrewed normal one with you so you can have one to match to.

Try the usual haunts of Harvey Normans / Homebase / BargainTown / even places like Banana Tree sometimes do chairs like that. Ask them if they do replacement legs, or if they know who you could send away to for one. *or* if a replacement chair was cheap enough you could get one.

All this stuff is made in china. As for the thread title I think that should be edited. I cannot see how its right. Thank god I am not fat.

You may end up haveing to do one of 2 things

1. Drill a hole down the centre of the broken bits and re attach with dowels and dont use the chair

2. Buy 4 new chairs.
