They are unsuitable for strengthening as they can bend easily when weight is applied which could be why they are bent.

A similar one with a little angled bit joining the two pieces together is a better option.

I am also re-gluing the legs and putting a screw from inside through the piece of wood, that goes across.inside the seat frame, into the legs.  

 

The new brackets are bit thicker too, but even the lopsided ones were rather strong.  I could not budge them when I tried if I could straighten them.  If I could do that it would mean that they are not strong enough, and I would not have used them anyway.

That should strenghthen them more.

Trying to bend them up by hand is different to trying to bend them more or putting 50 plus kgs of weight on them so hopefully it all works out for you.good.gif
