Is your swivel chair not staying up? Do you feel like it’s going to topple over at any moment? If this is happening, then what you need to do is find a way to fix the problem.
Luckily for you, we have put together some of the most common fixes that can be done in no time!
Steps on Replacing Broken Legs on Swivel Chair
Step 1. First, use a screwdriver to remove the screws holding the old legs in place.
Step 2. Then, set aside all of the parts and pieces so they do not get lost or mixed up with other items.
Step 3. Place a new wooden chair leg on top of the broken one and line it up how you would like it installed. Refer back to your instructions if needed for how many holes need to be drilled out from each side (given that there are two brackets).
Here is an example: four drill holes on one bracket for wood pipe mount shown below; three drill holes per bracket for hanger bolt mount shown below plus six temporary bolts included in the kit).
If you know what type of mounting hardware came with your swivel chair, then you can use the size and number of bolts recommended. Or, refer to your chair’s manual for how many holes need to be drilled out from each side (given that there are two brackets).
Step 4. Drill screws through the pre-drilled pilot holes in the new wooden leg into the old one until they are tight. Repeat on another bracket if needed
Tips: If you bought a set with different lengths, choose a shorter screw so it does not go through both pieces of wood past where it should stop when screwing them together. In this case, using an Allen wrench is key to tighten up or loosen any screws inside while still keeping everything secure.*`
If done correctly, you will have replaced broken legs on the swivel chair with the new wooden leg and should now be able to swivel without issue.
