FAQs
What furniture items can these legs be used on?
These legs are suitable for a wide range of furniture, including sofas, chairs, settees, beds, footstools, cabinets, tables, bookcases, and drawers.
How do I determine the correct bolt size (M6, M8, M10)?
The best method is to try fitting a nut onto the existing bolt on your furniture. If an 8mm nut fits snugly, you need M8. If it's too small, try M10. If it's too big, you likely need M6. Using a tape measure is not accurate for threaded bolts.
What is the difference between bolt-on and self-fixing legs?
Bolt-on legs have a threaded bolt that screws into an existing threaded insert in your furniture. Self-fixing legs are pre-drilled and attach directly to the furniture using 6mm wood screws.
Can I paint or stain these wooden legs?
Yes, the natural wood finish can typically be painted or stained to match your furniture or decor. Ensure you prepare the surface according to the paint or stain manufacturer's instructions.
What tools are needed for installation?
For bolt-on legs, often no tools are needed if screwing in by hand. For self-fixing legs, you will need a screwdriver suitable for 6mm wood screws. A drill may be helpful for pilot holes.
Are these legs sold individually or as a set?
This product is specified as a 'Set of 4'.
Troubleshooting
Legs are wobbly after attachment.
Ensure the bolt is fully tightened into the furniture. If using self-fixing legs, verify that the screws are securely fastened into solid wood and that the leg is flush against the surface. Check that you have the correct size bolt/screw for the pre-drilled holes.
Incorrect bolt size received.
Re-check the size of the nut that fits your existing furniture's threaded insert. If unsure, contact customer support with details of your furniture and existing fittings for assistance.
Wood screws do not grip for self-fixing legs.
Ensure you are screwing into solid wood and not particle board or a void. If the wood is too soft, consider using slightly larger wood screws or a wood filler to create a more secure anchor point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
- Bolt-On Fittings: These legs come with threaded bolts in sizes M6 (6mm), M8 (8mm), or M10 (10mm). To determine your required bolt size, test a nut on your existing furniture's mounting point. If an 8mm nut fits, you need M8; if it's too small, try M10; if too big, try M6.
- Self-Fixing Fittings: These legs are pre-drilled and designed to attach directly to your furniture using 6mm wood screws. Ensure your furniture piece has a suitable solid wood surface for screwing.
Setup:
- Identify the correct fitting type (bolt size or pre-drilled) required for your furniture.
- If using bolt-on legs, screw the leg into the existing threaded insert in your furniture. If the existing fitting is not threaded, you may need to purchase a corresponding mounting plate.
- If using self-fixing legs, align the leg with the desired position on your furniture and secure it using appropriate 6mm wood screws.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the wood finish.
