Time for a new chair.

High-rated replacement ordered from Amazon, for a bit over $100 with discount.

The old one - just over three years old, really - is increasingly broken, and the back is now entirely detached from its supports.  My attempts to repair the first broken support attachment point were not successful, so time for a replacement.  Maybe I'll have another go at patching this one for some light-duty role.

Best to just toss that marginal chair, you just KNOW it's going to break when you forget and treat it like a standard chair!
It's won't happen at a good time either...
