Why the back is timber and the legs are not
Guests lean on the back dozens of times a night and never touch the legs. Timber gives the back a warmth and a shape that steel cannot, and a shaped back is the part of a chair people remember. The legs get kicked, dragged and caught under table bases, which is work for a welded frame.
Splitting the two also splits the repair. Bent legs on a steel frame are a leg swap; cracked backs on a timber frame are a back swap. Neither takes the whole chair out of service.
The fixing between them
Where timber meets steel is the one place this construction can go wrong. Steel brackets screwed into timber pull out under repeated side load; the frame here carries the timber on a plate that is bolted through with threaded inserts, so the load goes into the insert rather than into the screw threads.
