My favorite rocking chair has started to wobble and creak. Is there a way I can fix it and make it stable again myself?
A wobbly rocker is common but usually fixable! The first step is to play detective and find the source of the wobble. Common culprits are loose joints from years of movement or warped rockers from humidity. Here’s a simple checklist from Meet&Co to troubleshoot:
- Tighten Everything: Grab a screwdriver and wrench to check and tighten all bolts, screws, and connectors.
- Re-glue Loose Joints: If wood parts are separating, applying wood glue and clamping them overnight can restore strength.
- Check the Rockers: Look at the curved bands underneath. If they're uneven, you can try sanding them level or, in severe cases, have them replaced.
- Level the Playing Field: If your floor is uneven, a simple rocker wedge or shim under one side can make all the difference.
