There is some movement within the frames. They need tightening to get a longer life out of them. Perhaps someone handy or with chair repair experience could fix.

All east bound traffic will now drive through a new intersection at the road.
Under the new layout, drivers have to turn right at new traffic lights on the off-ramp to head to Unsworth Heights, state highway 1 at Constellation Drive or to East Coast Bays.
"This is a significant change to how people move around and as expected, we have seen queues on the off-ramp during the morning peak as everyone gets used to the new road layout," said Waka Kotahi national manager of infrastructure delivery Andy Thackwray.
“We’re advising that delays during peak hours will likely continue while people adjust to these changes and we’re asking people to plan ahead and allow extra time to travel.”
The transport agency has encouraged drivers to avoid state highway 18 and use alternative routes where possible as they get used to the changes.
People travelling from west Auckland to the city can use state highway 16 instead.
The number of vehicles using the off-ramp will decrease when the northbound connection between state highway 18 and state highway 1 opens in about 18 months, Waka Kotahi said.
The change in layout paves the way for construction of the new motorway lanes and shared paths, the agency said.
A transport upgrade will see the Northern Busway extended from Constellation to Albany Station.
It includes a new motorway connection between state highway 1 and state highway 18 and will access the western ring route, along with travel to Auckland International Airport.
It will deliver more than 7 km of walking and cycling paths, road and park connections.
Work is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.

We remember our Auckland veterans and fallen soldiers with their letters to friends and loved ones back home.
Here are letters from Michael Menzies, a Prisoner of War in Japan, to his friend Norm Ryder:
6/5/45
Dear Norm,
Still existing and anticipating a speedy reunion.
Appreciate your kind thoughts and wishes.
I often have the Queen St blues and a perpetual Waitemata thirst and occasionally a nicotine fit.
Received three of your letters and am anxiously
awaiting for more.
Your Affectionate Pal

Michael Menzies' letter to his relatives:
2/12/43
Dear Auntie Kate and Ange,
I received your very welcomed letter dated May 25th on Nov 25 th.
Although Jack has received a parcel from St Johns Association London and a very brief letter from Kathleen, this is the first I have received in twenty two long months.
I had given up all hope of getting mail so imagine the thrill it gave me.
There is only one thing I need Auntie and that is news, especially of Pat.
Please don’t keep it from me if anything has happened to him for that would only hurt me all the more.
I can’t help but think the worst has happened to him.
How is everyone in New Zealand?
I have made several radio broadcasts from here, did you hear any of them?
Of course I know you’ll understand when I tell you that our correspondence is limited in more ways than one.
Please don’t send money as you suggested, but a few packs of cigarettes, gum, and a photo would be very welcome.
Apart from a few attacks of asthma Jack is very well and sends his love to all.
I assure you Auntie that you have no need to worry so much over Jack or myself as we are both together which makes it much easier on me and under the circumstances the treatment is fair enough.
There are many things I want to ask you and tell you but unfortunately they will have to wait until peace has been restored once more to this mad world.
Well auntie I sincerely hope this letter finds you in the very best of health and
Along with it I send the seasons greetings and all my love.
Lots and lots of love.
Mick
