FAQs
What types of furniture can these legs be used on?
These legs are suitable for a wide array of furniture including sofas, chairs, settees, beds, footstools, cabinets, tables, and bookcases.
How do I know which bolt size I need (M8, M10, or M6)?
You can determine the correct bolt size by trying different sized nuts (8mm, 10mm, or 6mm) on the thread of your existing furniture leg's bolt. Whichever nut fits snugly will indicate the correct bolt size.
What is the difference between bolt-on and self-fixing options?
Bolt-on legs have a threaded bolt that screws into a pre-existing threaded insert in your furniture. Self-fixing options are designed to be attached directly to the furniture's frame using wood screws, typically requiring pilot holes.
Can I paint or stain these legs?
Yes, the wood legs can typically be painted or stained. However, it is recommended to lightly sand the surface first and use appropriate primers and paints/stains for wood furniture to achieve the best finish.
Are wood screws included with the self-fixing legs?
The product description does not specify if wood screws are included. It is advisable to check the product packaging or contact the retailer. If not included, you will need to purchase suitable wood screws separately.
How much weight can these legs support?
The specific weight-bearing capacity is not provided. It is recommended to use them for standard furniture applications and ensure the weight is distributed evenly. For very heavy items, consult with a furniture professional.
Troubleshooting
Legs do not fit the furniture.
Verify the thread size of the bolt (M8, M10, M6) or the screw type matches your furniture's mounting points. Ensure you have selected the correct fitting option (bolt-on vs. screw-fix).
Screws for self-fixing legs are not holding securely.
Ensure you are using appropriate wood screws for the pilot holes and that the pilot holes are correctly sized. If attaching to softer wood, consider using slightly larger screws or wood filler.
Uneven height after attaching legs.
Check that all legs are screwed in fully and are the same length. Ensure the mounting surface on the furniture is flat and secure.
Finish appears inconsistent.
This can be a natural variation in wood grain and finish. Ensure legs are clean and dry. For minor inconsistencies, a matching wood stain or furniture polish may help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before attaching, determine the correct fitting for your furniture. For bolt-on legs, check your existing leg's bolt size by seeing which nuts (8mm, 10mm, or 6mm) fit its thread. If your furniture has pre-drilled holes for screw-in legs, ensure they are suitable for 6mm wood screws. For screw-fix options without pre-drilled holes, you will need to drill appropriate pilot holes.
Compatibility: These legs are compatible with most furniture that uses standard leg attachments, including sofas, chairs, settees, beds, footstools, cabinets, tables, and bookcases. Ensure the thread size of the bolt (M8, M10, M6) or the screw size (6mm for self-fixing) matches your furniture's mounting points.
Care: Clean the wood legs with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the wood, as this can damage the finish and the material. For deeper cleaning, use a mild wood cleaner and dry thoroughly.
