You need to tighten the screws. On lots of furniture pieces they use a peg that inserts into a drum shaped cam that is then tightened.
Make sure that the "peg is seated (screwed in) completely and then after it is inserted into the cam the cam is fully turned until tight.
The other two guys who answered above are idiots, obviously!

Certainly I see some comedic/sarcastic answers, and as a GUY I know I like to think I can do anything.Hmmm actually I can.
Anyway, and with no offense to Hubby, did he smile and proudly brag. "HONEY LOOK, all finished" maybe even in record time?
Was he holding a bag filled with hardware, perhaps that he claimed was "Extra Stuff"?
I know this one will relate to many of my gender. Did he in fact read or follow any included instructions?
Now, and with no offense to you, Is the furniture of quality? Has HE rechecked all his process in the construction? Are there parts or screws that seem to be extra, but may in fact be crucial to keeping the chairs from being WOBBLY? Might you at least ask him to retighten everything, and even if it bruises HIS ego, read the instructions yourself, kind of re working the construction process?

Lets all pray that your darling didn't put glue in the holes for the legs and supports. ah
If not, great! Just put the chairs on an even surface and sit in them to make them level then put the screws or glue them and sit in them on an even surface.
It they've already been glued you might also go to the hardware store and get some little metal caps that fit on the bottom of each leg. You can get some that are adjustable and you can then adjust the level.

You definitely need to tighten the screws again. Other than that it could be really bad build quality of the product in the first place. The answer regarding the uneven floor could be valid, but that can easily be remedied with cut to fit coasters that can be bought in any DIY/furniture shop. Good luck.

Not to give all the credit to your DIY hubby but maybe where it is your placing the chairs, the floor is not even or on the level..
If this does not appear to be the problem, then use a strap clamp or have your hubby use a couple of his belts to tighten the legs unto the base of the chair or use rope before you get that urge to hang your hubby.

in accordance to how the legs went mutually he would no longer have pressed each and each and every of them into their sockets completely in order that that they are equivalent to being of diverse lengths. no matter if it is basically too previous due (because he glued them) to get all of them snugged up precise, stand a chair on a aspect floor and be conscious it is shortest leg so that you'll nail a chair flow on the bottom to elongate it.

Try removing the screws again, and then use some good wood glue inside of the holes, and replace the screws.

He obviously could not handle the simple task of putting them together.
