Heavy looking chair??

heavy looking is an adjective phrase describing the chair

‘heavy looking chair’ means the chair looks heavy and it has the appearance of being heavy.
By saying ‘a heavy looking chair’, he cleverly avoids making a commitment about the true weight of the chair. If he says ‘It’s a heavy chair’ and it turns out that the chair is not heavy, then he would have made a mistake. Because he says ‘a heavy looking chair’, he can never be wrong. To him, the chair looks heavy - his personal opinion.

In answer 002, shouldn't it be ' He is an odd looking man.' instead of
' He is a odd looking man.' ?

Answer 001 is comprehensive, literally, idiomatically and logically.

looking是指「看來」或「感覺上」是heavy的chair。文法解釋樓上已經講了，是一種adjactive形容詞的phrasing。是說出感覺或者從視覺上而言的形容。

例如：

She is a good looking lady.
她是一個樣子好看(樣靚)的女士。

He is a odd looking man.
他是一個樣子古怪的男子。

This is a decious looking apple.
這個蘋果看來可口(好味)。
