I've been noticing chairs that I have sat in.
I'm referring to the sort with the mortise and tenons joining the legs and the side, front, & back seat rails all held together on the inside by an angled member at a 45 Deg pierced through the center by a furniture stud screwed into the leg with a machine screw and nut clamping the elements together.
I have notice that the mortise and tenon joints are all loose - - every one of them. If I touch the led and the side rail at the same time and wiggle just a bit I can feel the independent movement of the parts.
Any one else notice this?
