a strip of real wood across the bottom with wood glue, and some small

I hope you haven't fallen in love with the furniture. It sounds like
and ongoing source of problems and expense. Things like that can suck
down your time and give you little in return.

Since the furniture was given to you (not a gift from in-laws I hope!),
maybe you should cut your losses before said losses really start adding
up. If chairs came with this set, they too will break and someone will
take a spill...
