Full details
The Btowin Unfinished Wooden Bun Feet are ideal for DIY enthusiasts, furniture restorers, and homeowners looking to upgrade the aesthetic or height of their sofas, couches, chairs, and ottomans. These legs provide a sturdy, classic foundation built from durable rubber wood, offering the unique benefit of a customizable unfinished surface that you can paint, stain, or varnish to match your existing interior design perfectly. A key caveat to consider is that because the wood is unfinished, you must apply a protective finish, such as sealant or stain, before heavy use to prevent moisture damage and staining.

FAQs
Are these legs suitable for heavy sofas?
Yes, they are made from durable rubber wood and are designed to support standard residential furniture loads.
Can I use these on furniture that currently has no legs?
Yes, as long as you have a flat surface on the bottom frame to attach the included mounting plates.
Do I need to varnish the wood?
It is highly recommended to apply a varnish, lacquer, or wax to protect the wood from moisture, dust, and daily wear.
What is the diameter of the bun feet?
Each bun foot measures approximately 2.7 inches in diameter.
Are the screws included?
Yes, the set comes with the necessary mounting plates and screws for a standard installation.
Can I paint them instead of staining them?
Absolutely. You can use primer followed by your choice of acrylic or oil-based paint to match your specific decor.
Troubleshooting
The leg feels loose or wobbly after installation.
Ensure the mounting plate is screwed tightly into the furniture frame and that the M8 bolt is fully threaded into the plate.
The wood appears uneven in color after staining.
Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a pre-stain wood conditioner before reapplying your wood stain.
Mounting plate does not fit the existing hole.
Check your furniture frame for an M8 fitting; if your furniture uses a different thread size, you may need an M8-to-alternative thread adapter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward. First, secure the included mounting plate to the bottom corner of your furniture using the provided screws. Once the plate is firm, simply align the M8 hanger bolt located on the top of the wooden bun foot and rotate it clockwise until tight.
Before installation, we highly recommend lightly sanding the wood to remove any raw fibers. Since the rubber wood is absorbent, apply your chosen stain or protective clear coat in thin, even layers, allowing for adequate drying time between coats. To care for the feet over time, clean them occasionally with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, which could penetrate the finish and damage the natural wood structure.
