FAQs
What material are these legs made from?
The legs are made from tough and strong raw steel.
What is the primary benefit of the 'Ski-Glide' technology?
The Ski-Glide technology allows furniture to glide effortlessly on surfaces, protecting floors and making it easier to move pieces.
Do I need to seal the raw steel legs?
Yes, it is highly recommended to seal the raw steel legs with a clear coat, wax, or lacquer to prevent rust and maintain their appearance, especially in humid environments.
How many legs are included in a pack?
Each pack includes four hairpin legs.
What is the height of these legs?

Can these legs be used for heavy-duty furniture?
Yes, they are described as some of the toughest and strongest hairpin legs available, suitable for creating beautiful and sturdy furniture.
Are these legs suitable for outdoor furniture?
While strong, raw steel is prone to rust. For outdoor use, thorough sealing with appropriate outdoor-grade sealant is essential, and regular maintenance would be required.
Troubleshooting
Legs appear wobbly after installation.
Ensure all screws are fully tightened into the tabletop. Check that the tabletop surface is level and the legs are mounted on a flat plane. If using a softer wood, consider using wood inserts for a more secure grip.
Surface scratching is occurring despite the 'Ski-Glide' feature.
The 'Ski-Glide' feature is designed for smooth movement on most surfaces. Ensure there is no debris caught on the glide surface or the floor. For extremely delicate floors, consider adding felt pads beneath the glide for extra protection.
Visible rust spots appearing on the legs.
This indicates the raw steel is oxidizing. Clean the rust gently with fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool, then immediately apply a suitable sealant (clear coat, wax, or lacquer) to the affected area and the entire leg to prevent further oxidation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hairpin legs are designed for straightforward attachment. Each leg typically comes with pre-drilled holes at the mounting plate. Ensure you have appropriate screws or bolts suitable for your chosen tabletop material. Align the leg plate with the underside of your furniture surface and secure firmly. It is recommended to use a drill for precise pilot holes if working with harder materials.
Compatibility: The 305mm height is suitable for low-profile furniture like coffee tables, benches, or media consoles. The raw steel finish is compatible with a wide range of materials including wood, laminate, and even some composite boards. For optimal adhesion and appearance, ensure the surface where the legs will be attached is clean and flat.
Care: As these are raw steel, they are susceptible to rust, especially in humid conditions. To maintain their appearance and prevent corrosion, it is highly recommended to seal the legs with a clear coat of polyurethane, wax, or lacquer after purchase and before or during installation. Regular dusting with a dry or slightly damp cloth will help keep them clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
