2 legs on my sofa chair have loosened and become detched. I can no longer screw them in. I tried crazy glue but it did not hold. The legs are wood with a spiraled metal coming out the top that is meant to screw into the bottom of the chair. The legs are wood. The bottom of the chair is wood. How can I re-attached them?

the ideal wood-to-wood glues are the moisture cure urethanes, aka Gorilla Glue/variants. It will have more flexibility than an elmer's type wood glue. The idea of a liquid nails/solvent based adhesive is an option. They tend to be a solvated urethane system.
do what you can to take off the excess super glue. also make absolutely sure there is no felt or underliner on the bottom of the couch that you are trying to bond through.

A local hardware store should carry felt discs that peel and stick to the bottom of chair legs. I can state that the peel and stick works for a while but will come off if they get wet too often. I just applied a little strong glue, like Krazy glue, and they haven't come off since. Just make sure you measure the width of your chair legs as they do come in different sizes.

Putting screws in with an electric drill would be ideal, but if it's glue you are using ,try liquid nails.It comes in different varieties....look for a wood glue.

Elmer's carpenters glue. You have to scrape off the crazy glue.

Use wood glue and you may have to clamp it for awhile until it is dry. Good luck.
