we have a Settee that does not feel very sturdy. It is rated at 250 lbs and there is a slight wobble. What can I do to make it steadier and more load bearing? (e.g. 400lb)
Here is the settee: http://www.wayfair.com/Skyline-Furniture-Velvet-Settee-Loveseat-I-6006-SKY1440.html

Structually, it's essentially two solid wood sides and a bench held together by four 5/16th bolts.
Am I right in thinking that the legs are the weak point?

According to the instructions, it appears that there are six washers and nuts holding it together. If you only used four, that might be a problem. ;)
I would go back over the piece, checking the tightness of the nuts. Side-to-side motion is likely a problem with the nuts, not the legs.
