FAQs
How many legs come in a pack?
These hairpin legs are typically sold individually. You will need to purchase multiple legs to create a complete set for your furniture.
What type of screws should I use?
The type and length of screws will depend on your tabletop material. Generally, wood screws of appropriate length for your material's thickness are recommended. Screws are not included with the legs.
Can I use these for outdoor furniture?
While made of steel, they are finished in black and may be susceptible to rust if exposed to the elements without proper sealing or treatment. Best suited for indoor use.
What is the maximum weight capacity per leg?
The weight capacity depends on the rod diameter (10mm or 12mm) and the tabletop material/construction. The 12mm option provides greater stability for heavier applications. Always ensure secure attachment.
How do I clean the legs?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning pads to maintain the finish.
What are the available heights?
The available heights are 304mm, 406mm, and 711mm.
What is the rod diameter?
The rod diameters available are 10mm and 12mm.
Troubleshooting
Legs are wobbly after installation.
Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Check that the tabletop surface is level and the legs are positioned correctly. If using on an uneven floor, consider shims.
Screws are not holding securely.
Verify the tabletop material is suitable for screwing and is of sufficient thickness. Use screws of the appropriate length and type for your tabletop material. Pre-drilling pilot holes may help in harder materials.
Scratching on floor noticed.
Ensure the plastic foot is properly attached to the bottom of each leg. If the foot is damaged or missing, replacement feet may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Securely fasten the legs using appropriate screws (not included) through the pre-drilled holes in the mounting plate. Ensure the surface is stable and the screws are tightened to prevent wobble.
Compatibility: These legs are compatible with a wide variety of tabletop materials, including solid wood, plywood, laminate, and stone composite. Ensure your tabletop is thick enough to accommodate the screw length and provide a secure fixing.
Care: Clean the legs with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. Periodically check that screws remain tight, especially if the furniture is moved frequently.
