# Furniture that one of the legs broke shouldn’t be used as it is or by propping it up on something since there is a concern that you will fix it.<ref>Trumat Hadeshen 71 based on Shabbat 138b, Rama 308:16. Is a chair that one leg broke considered a kli shemelachto lisur or muktzeh? Shalmei Yehuda p. 86 with respect to eyeglasses that broke says it is only a kli shemelachto lisur. Shulchan Shlomo 308:46:2 writes that he later retracted and said it was muktzeh. Chut Shani Shabbat v. 3 p. 119 writes that it is only a kli shemelachto lisur but it is still forbidden to move it to prop it up to sit upon since doing so will cause you to come to fix it. Yet, the Tehilah Ldovid 308:22, Shulchan Aruch Harav 308:47, Tiltulei Shabbat p. 147, and Orchot Shabbat v. p. 82 conclude that it is completely muktzeh machmat gufo.</ref>

==Eyeglasses==
# Glasses which broke and are usable to wear some poskim hold that it is muktzeh since you might be tempted to fix it on Shabbat<ref>Shalmei Yehuda p. 86 citing Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, Chut Shani Shabbat v. 3 p. 119</ref>, other poskim are lenient since it is perfectly wearable and you wouldn’t come to fix it.<ref>Tiltulei Shabbat pp. 147-8 quoting Rav Moshe Feinstein</ref> If you used while it is broken once before Shabbat certainly it is permitted to wear on Shabbat.<ref>Rama 308:16, Mishna Brurah 308:71</ref>
# If the eyeglasses broke and it is still usable but needs a professional repair it is permitted to use and there’s no concern you’ll fix it since it needs a professional repair.<ref>Orchot Shabbat v. 2 p. 82 based on Mishna Brurah 308:69</ref>
