Thread: Parker Chair Loose Seat

Hi Folks

I've got some nice old Parker chairs, the type with curve back and curved seat.

Some of the curved seat parts are loose, because the beautiful old long steel screws have pulled out of the plywood seat bottom, and because the design allows a lot of leverage on the seat edges.

I'd like to fix them, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Someone suggested Araldite in the holes then screw into the wet glue. Another suggestion was to make some timber plugs and install them to screw into, but they may be a little beyond my skill set!

Any advice is most appreciated!

thanks, Toby
