-…no_wait,_there_are_problems-



apparently, there is still a problem with the stability of the chair. when pressure to the seat area is applied away from the wall, the mdf flexes, allowing the chair to pivot over the circled corner. when the chair pivots over that corner, the front of the chair loses contact with the floor, allowing it to move away from the wall. i hope that a slight adjustment in the form, combined with the added strength of the leather will provide enough stiffness to stop this pivoting. unfortunately, i will only know if this works after the first plywood/leather prototype is built.
