I think we can all relate to this; thanks for the highly technical but tongue in cheek guide. Maybe you can show us how to repair it like new. I'll bet Red Green could do it with duct tape.

Without being certain, I suspect that exposure to prolonged sunlight weakens the plastic in these chairs. It sure seems to cause fading of the color, and while I've slain some faded ones with my bulk, I don't recall having broken one that hadn't already been more than one season exposed to the elements. Perhaps a canvas or vinyl cover over a stack of these, if they must be stored outside, might tend to prolong their useful life. I'm not aware of any adhesive that would join such broken bits securely enough to risk another sit in a repaired plastic chair.

Yes! I have 2 of those SAME EXACT chairs! Sitting in one and leaning back, the backrest area starts to twist slighly and feel like it could move to the left or right with very little pressure.

I have used this chair as a stepladder, standing on the seat area, and I couldn’t consentrate on the task I was to perform just above me because all I could think about is that this flimsy chair is going to explode into many green plastic pieces any second!

I plan on giving them away to a long time friend that I realy don’t like anymore.

I have new plastic chairs when I check them outside this morning one chairs leg had separated completely, it appeared someone had sat in it and broke it but I live alone, what could of happened anyone have any suggestions
