Found a perfect mid-century chair, then the leg snapped on the walk home
I spotted this cool wooden chair on a curb in the East Village last Tuesday. I mean, it looked solid, so I picked it up. About two blocks from my place, one of the back legs just cracked right off. I had to carry it the rest of the way with it leaning on me. Has anyone else had a great find break on them? What's the best way to fix a chair leg?

Honestly, it's just a chair leg. A little wood glue and a clamp will fix that right up. People act like a snapped spindle is a major life crisis. It's free curb furniture, not a museum piece. Worst case, you prop it in a corner and tell people it's "character.
