FAQs
What types of furniture can these legs be used on?
These legs are suitable for a wide range of furniture, including sofas, chairs, settees, beds, footstools, cabinets, tables, and bookcases.
How do I know which bolt size (M8, M10, M6) I need?
The best way to determine the correct bolt size is to try fitting a nut onto your existing furniture's leg bolt. If an 8mm nut fits, you need M8. If it's too small, try M10. If it's too big, try M6.
Are the wood screws included for the self-fixing legs?
No, wood screws are not included with the self-fixing legs. You will need to provide your own appropriate wood screws.
Can I use these legs to make my sofa higher?
Yes, these legs can be used to increase the height of your sofa or other furniture, provided you select the correct fitting type and size.
How should I clean and care for the dark oak finish?
Wipe the legs with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
What is the color of the stain?
The stain is described as 'Dark Oak', providing a rich, classic wood tone.
Can I mix and match different leg styles on the same piece of furniture?
While possible, it is generally recommended to use matching legs for stability and aesthetic consistency, especially for items like beds or sofas.
Troubleshooting
Legs do not fit existing furniture.
Double-check the fitting type and size (M8, M10, M6 bolt or self-fixing). Ensure you are using the correct method to identify the bolt size (nut test, not a tape measure). Contact customer support if unsure.
Wobbly furniture after attaching legs.
Ensure all legs are screwed in fully and evenly. Check that the furniture's mounting points are stable. If using self-fixing legs, ensure they are securely attached with appropriate screws.
Scratches or damage to the wood finish.
Use a soft cloth for cleaning and avoid harsh chemicals. Minor scratches may be addressed with wood repair markers or touch-up pens in a similar dark oak shade. Avoid dragging furniture with these legs attached.
Missing required screws for self-fixing legs.
Wood screws are not included with self-fixing legs. You will need to purchase appropriate wood screws separately, ensuring they are suitable for the material of your furniture and the leg's pre-drilled holes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before purchasing, it is crucial to determine the correct fitting for your furniture. Most legs feature bolt fixings in sizes M8, M10, or M6, or are self-fixing with pre-drilled holes for wood screws. To identify the bolt size of existing legs:
- Attempt to fit a nut onto the existing bolt.
- If an 8mm nut fits securely, you require M8 fittings.
- If an 8mm nut is too small, try a 10mm nut. If it fits, you need M10 fittings.
- If an 8mm nut is too large, try a 6mm nut. If it fits, you require M6 fittings.
Installation: For bolt-fix legs, simply screw them into the corresponding threaded inserts on your furniture. For self-fixing legs, ensure you have the correct size wood screws and pre-drill pilot holes into the furniture base as needed.
Care: To maintain the finish of the dark oak stain, wipe the legs with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the wood stain and finish.
