For beginners, Karl did not use the big ass staples to hold the front legs like the factory did, these chairs are far superior to the factory sets.

On a similar note, much of today's upholstered furniture has lots of stapled butt joints, often with no glue, no dowels, etc. Sometimes there's a thin ply piece spanning a butt joint, with only staples attaching the ply.

For anyone, I recommend finding the much better made old furniture and have it reupholstered. For a woodworker, once the upholsterer removes the old fabric/padding, you can repair any internal damage/loose joints properly, if the upholsterer doesn't repair wood parts (Some don't. They just cover up what's there, unless otherwise instructed).

..... Or maybe we could send our broken furniture to Karl and he'll repair it, really well, - for free?
