FAQs
What is Ski-Glide technology?
Ski-Glide technology refers to the unique design of the leg base, engineered to allow furniture to glide smoothly and quietly across surfaces, while also enhancing stability and reducing the risk of floor damage compared to standard leg ends.
Are screws included with the hairpin legs?
Screws are typically not included, as the required type and length can vary depending on the material and thickness of the furniture surface you are attaching the legs to. Please purchase appropriate mounting hardware separately.
What is the weight capacity of these legs?
While specific weight capacities can vary based on installation and the supporting surface, these hairpin legs are designed to be exceptionally tough and strong, capable of supporting significant weight for most DIY furniture applications.
Can I use these legs outdoors?
These legs feature a powder-coated black finish which offers some protection. However, they are primarily designed for indoor furniture. Prolonged exposure to moisture and outdoor elements may lead to corrosion or damage to the finish.
How do I clean the black finish?
Wipe the legs clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the powder coating.
What types of furniture can these legs be used for?
These versatile legs are suitable for a wide range of furniture projects, including coffee tables, end tables, benches, desks, nightstands, and shelving units.
Troubleshooting
Legs wobble or feel unstable
Ensure all screws are tightened securely into the tabletop. Check that the legs are positioned evenly and that the surface itself is level. Verify that the mounting holes on the leg are flush with the surface.
Difficulty screwing legs into the surface
Use screws of the appropriate length and type for your specific tabletop material. Pre-drilling pilot holes can make installation easier, especially in harder woods.
Black finish shows minor scuffs
For light scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent marks, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner, then dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure you have a suitable tabletop or surface and the necessary mounting hardware (screws, typically not included).
- Positioning: Place the hairpin legs in the desired locations on the underside of your surface. Ensure they are equidistant from edges and properly aligned for stability.
- Attachment: Securely screw the legs into the surface through the pre-drilled mounting holes. For optimal results, use screws appropriate for the thickness and material of your surface.
Compatibility:
These legs are highly compatible with a wide range of materials, including wood (solid, plywood, MDF), laminate, and composite boards. They are ideal for furniture projects where a stable, stylish base is required. The 356mm height is suitable for coffee tables, benches, and low media units.
Care:
To maintain the sleek black finish, clean the legs with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the powder coating. For floors susceptible to scratching, consider adding felt pads to the base of the legs, even with the Ski-Glide technology.
