Hi Eric

Your design may reduce the risk of this, as my original design had anti-slip on anti-slip which made it a bit rough trying to adjust the height. So, I removed the anti-slip from the floating seat, leaving x 3 wooden surfaces (approx 2x5 cms each) to bear against the anti-slip on the x3 inclined legs.

I noticed that over a few months, shallow grooves had begun to appear on the three off (2x5 cms) wooden bearing surfaces on the seat and perhaps this contributed to the fateful slip one dark night?

Your design and use of what looks like thick rubber pads may lessen the risk of slippage, although I would keep and eye on wear and tear in this region – just in case!.

Hope you enjoy the use of your chair; it looks fabulous and I’m sure it will be a real joy to use – I certainly enjoyed mine.

Cheers

Dennis
