In your example, the chair seems to be in focus. Are you sure that you didn't have all the AF points on and the camera grabbed the chair because of the high contrast there. Put the camera in Single-Shot mode and either select your AF point or use the single-point center and put it right on a subject that you want in focus.

The 7D's AF scheme is very flexible, but you have to be aware of what's going on. Set the AF point to show in the viewfinder and watch which ones light up. Learn to hit the switch on the far right with your thumb and then toggle through the AF modes with the switch in front of the shutter release. You can even have all of the AF points active, but select the one that you want in the viewfinder, using the thumb pointer (whatever it's called) on the back, above the wheel.

I see you like to read.
