Pretty sure you'd buy a ticket on that airline if I was a mechanic.
I briefly got into the toy "Erector Set" as a kid. Trust me, it wasn't pretty.
I have always been bad at arts and crafts, juts like music. I am lazy at maintenance too.
I also was briefly into building model planes. My favorite fighter jet as a kid was the F-14 Tomcat. But no, you don't paint it Camouflage on an F-14 Tomcat.
Sama’s correct. There’s a whole range of products available to fix this issue. If you were able to assemble the stools in the first place, you can certainly smear an adhesive on the threads to keep them from loosening. A very, very simple fix.

There is an old cartoon of a cat that tries to prove itself to the house owner for it's keep. But eventually it realizes it can be lazy and get other cats to do it's mouse-ing. I haven't figured out to do the work, and get others to mouse for me.
That is the definition of laziness and bitching.

He said something very straightforward and while he failed to say, "You need Loctite threadlocker green" and provide you an easy link to the amazon store to buy it: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=loctite+threa...nb_sb_noss
His succinct reply caused you to write so many, only tangentially related, sentences that it boggles my mind.
I'm a visual person so I imagine a child standing next to a piñata and giving it a light tap and SUDDENLY a mountain of candy erupts from the small tear.
Anyway, yep loctite green will keep those Allen screws in place for years!
What I don’t understand is that he was able to assemble the barstools, but when presented with a fix that is EASIER than the initial assembly, he goes all discursive about his lack of ‘fix-it’ skills.
Tis a puzzlement.

Really, I am an ABBA fan.
It isn't the fixing, it is the frustration of having to tighten the screws every five nanoseconds.
These other "cures" presented to me I have not heard of.
