FAQs
What type of screws should I use?
Screws are not included. You should use appropriate wood screws that are long enough to securely fasten the leg to your tabletop material without piercing through the top surface. The gauge of the screw should fit snugly into the pre-drilled holes on the leg mounting plate.
How much weight can these legs support?
The solid rod steel construction provides significant strength and stability. While an exact weight limit is not specified, they are designed for typical furniture applications like coffee tables, benches, and desks, and should adequately support the weight of standard tabletops and items placed on them when properly installed.
Are these legs sold individually?
No, these are sold as a pack of two hairpin legs.
What is the height of these legs?
The height of these specific Rothley Hairpin Legs is 710mm (approximately 28 inches).
How do I clean the polished copper finish?
Clean the legs with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes not intended for copper finishes.
Can I use these legs outdoors?
These legs are designed for indoor furniture use. Prolonged exposure to moisture or outdoor elements may cause damage or corrosion to the steel and its finish.
What is the warranty period?
Rothley offers an 8-year guarantee on these hairpin legs.
Troubleshooting
Legs are wobbly after installation.
Ensure all screws are tightened securely into the tabletop and the legs. Verify that the surface you are attaching the legs to is perfectly flat and stable. Check if the floor surface is uneven; adjust furniture placement or use shims if necessary.
Difficulty attaching legs.
Ensure you are using the correct type and length of screws for your tabletop material. Pre-drilling pilot holes can make screw insertion easier and prevent wood splitting. Confirm the leg is aligned correctly with the surface.
Finish appears dull or tarnished.
Wipe the legs with a soft, dry cloth. If tarnish persists, use a very mild metal polish specifically designed for copper finishes and buff gently with a soft cloth, following the polish manufacturer's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
