I have a chair for my outdoor table on the deck that has all of sudden
decided to go back WAY too far and nearly tips over. Any suggestions on
how to either fix it or McGyver something so it won't kill people?

Connect the chair to a 240 volt outlet, with a nearby switch. Then
invite someone you hate to come over for cocktails. Sit them in that
chair, and you can figure out the rest......
