Default Villa Gliding Rocker Chair Repair

We are at the Bare Family RV Camp (steve and suzy have a beautiful home in the country and we have been enjoying our free stay with them). i like free.

Steve and I ripped into why our rocker recliner was all loosey goosey. my passenger and salon chairs are both villa rocking gliders.

we pulled a zillion staples out on the bottom and discovered the back wood support piece that holds the chair together was totally loose and broken. it holds the seat springs as well.

steve made me some angle iron brackets that we drilled holes and mounted that made the chair very solid.

the piece of wood that was loose was attached to the springs so we had to torque it up with a crescent wrench and force it onto the brackets steve made. those springs are strong.steve had a gigantic crescent wrench about the size of paul bunyans.

jimmy webb came by and brought staple guns for us and he stapled all the leather back on.

Looks much stronger than original. Always nice to have parts available out of one's stock pile.
