Arm Brackets

I have a question to those having completed the arm brackets.

Do you think these provide sufficient structural strength laterally from pivoting on the leg support with 1 screw? I like the look of the design very much, though I am curious, do you think a steel plate recessed under the arm is needed for additional support, or is it plenty strong as designed?

Thanks

Chris

After using the chair for a while, I can tell you that the brackets aren't even necessary from a structural perspective. That fat shallow tenon is glued and screwed into place, and that provides a great deal of support. So at this point, I'm willing to say those brackets are almost entirely decorative.
