What is the status of a bench or stool that lost a leg on Shabbat?
Synopsis
If even one leg of an oven came out, it is muktzeh. The Rema extends this to a bench that lost one or two legs — it is forbidden to move or prop on another bench and sit on it, unless one had sat on it in such a fashion before Shabbat. Reinserting the leg is forbidden due to building.
