FAQs
What furniture types are these bun feet suitable for?
These feet are suitable for a wide range of furniture including sofas, chairs, settees, beds, footstools, cabinets, tables, and bookcases, provided they have an M8 threaded receiver.
How do I know if my furniture has the correct M8 fitting?
The most reliable method is to try an 8mm nut on the existing bolt. If it fits, it's likely M8. If it's too small, you might need M10; if too big, you might need M6. Do not use a tape measure as it is inaccurate for thread sizing.
Can I use these feet on furniture that doesn't have pre-drilled holes?
No, these feet require furniture to have a pre-drilled hole with an M8 threaded receiver for secure attachment. They are not self-fixing.
What is the finish of these feet?
The feet have a Blush Silver finish, offering a modern and elegant aesthetic.
Are these feet sold individually or in sets?
The product information does not specify if they are sold individually or in sets. Please check the product listing for details on quantity per purchase.
Can I paint or re-finish these wooden feet?
While the wood is paintable, altering the blush silver finish may affect its appearance and durability. It is generally recommended to use them as is or consult with a professional for refinishing.
Troubleshooting
Foot does not screw in
Verify that your furniture has an M8 threaded receiver and that the bolt on the foot is clean and undamaged. Ensure you are not trying to force an incompatible bolt size.
Foot feels wobbly after installation
Check that the M8 bolt is fully screwed in and that the furniture piece is on a level surface. If the wobble persists, the furniture's receiver may be stripped, or the bolt may be slightly undersized.
Blush silver finish is damaged
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out gently with a soft cloth. For significant damage, replacement of the foot may be necessary. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, simply ensure your furniture has a pre-drilled hole with an M8 threaded receiver. Align the M8 bolt of the bun foot with the receiver and screw it in firmly until snug. Avoid over-tightening, which could damage the threading.
Compatibility: These feet are specifically designed with an M8 bolt fitting. To confirm compatibility, check your existing furniture legs. If they have an M8 bolt, these feet should fit. If your furniture uses a different bolt size (M6, M10) or self-fixing screws, these specific bun feet will not be compatible. Always verify the existing fitting size; do not rely on a tape measure, but rather test with nuts or consult the furniture manufacturer if unsure.
Care: Clean the wooden bun feet with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the wood and the blush silver finish. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly.
