      Make a really fat person sit down on it. If it does not break than you have a well made chair.

        Jump up and down on it. If it survives, you have a strong chair.

          I check the joints. Is there any spacing, have they been glued...

            Jenn is on the right track.Check the joins.make sure they are not loose.most quality chairs will be double dowelled.Cheap chairs are held together by torpedo bolts & screws.There should be no visible screws in a quality chair.
