Series Summary

Furniture serves many important, essential functions for people the world over. In the last few thousand years, chairs, beds, desks, and tables have provided places to sit, eat, talk, work, gather, or sleep. Many people will spend more than a third of their lives in, at, or on furniture. It comes as no surprise, then, that humans have a unique relationship with this group of items they spend so much time around. In some ways, furniture has become a reflection of personality. When choosing furniture for their homes or offices, people are known to concentrate on design, giving it equal or greater weight than function and stability. Many people pass furniture items down from one generation to the next, keeping the item as a family heirloom.

One way to repair a broken chair is to glue it back together. I know what you're thinking. Glue? Sounds pretty ineffective and cheap. In this free video series, a furniture manufacturer will teach you how to take apart and put together a chair with glue. You'll learn how to remove the seat of a chair, remove glue blocks, clean joints, replace dowels, and ultimately attach new glue blocks to the chair. Once your chair is disassembled, fixed, and reassembled, you'll be looking at a chair that's in brand new condition!
