This is Pics. of our broken chair. After taking it apart and seeing the small wood screws that were used in the chairs and stools,with (NO) glue at assy. I decided to take them apart and fix them myself. They used #6 wood screws I used #8 screws and glued all joints as well. The larger screws have larger heads as well,so a Kreg pocket hole kit was needed to bore the larger holes. There is a pic. of the tools needed for the repair as well. Youroo!!
