Morning peeps, I need some help/advice again and hope I've got the right subforum.
I bought a table and 6 chairs from Homebase 2 years ago. The came flat packed. The problem is the front chair legs coming loose
.
It appears that the anchor recepticle, already secured prior to assembly and embedded in the seat base, has little viens to maintain a grip into it's predrilled hole. However, the repeated use of the chairs means that the leg drags on the floor etc. creates movement on the 2 inch securing bolt, resulting in the anchor recepticle viens shearing, exacerbating the movement until all veins are sheered. Eventually the anchor recepticle has no grip and the chair is rendered useless.
What would be the recommendations; araldite? replacement recepticle? A new method to secure (if so, please tell)?
Thanks guys,
Dave
