Full details
This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and furniture makers looking to create custom coffee tables. The key benefit is the durable cast iron construction and unique Y-frame design for an industrial aesthetic. A potential caveat is the need for your own tabletop, as this is a set of legs only. These legs provide a sturdy base, feature a polished and lacquered finish for longevity, and come in a set of two for easy assembly.

FAQs
What is the weight capacity of these table legs?
The product description does not specify a maximum weight capacity. However, being made of durable cast iron with a sturdy Y-frame design, they are intended to support typical coffee table loads. Ensure your tabletop and mounting method are also robust.
Are screws included for mounting the legs?
No, screws for mounting the legs to the tabletop are not included. You will need to select appropriate screws based on your tabletop material and thickness.
Can these legs be used for a dining table?
These legs are designed for coffee tables. While they are sturdy, their dimensions (45 x 43 cm) and intended use suggest they may not be suitable for the height and weight requirements of a dining table.
How do I clean the black finish?
Clean the legs with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the material of the legs?
The legs are made from cast iron.
Does this product include one leg or a pair?
The delivery includes a set of 2 pieces of Y-frame coffee table legs.
What is the finish on the legs?
The legs have a polished, painted, and lacquered finish.
Troubleshooting
Legs feel unstable after assembly.
Ensure all screws are tightened securely. Check that the tabletop is level and that the legs are positioned symmetrically. Verify that the tabletop material is rigid enough to support the legs.
The finish appears scratched or damaged.
Inspect the area for sharp edges on the tabletop or surrounding objects. For minor scratches on the lacquered finish, a furniture repair pen or touch-up paint might be used, though results may vary. Avoid placing heavy, rough objects directly on the legs.
Screws are not holding firmly.
Ensure you are using the correct type and length of screws for your tabletop material. For softer wood, consider using inserts or wood filler to provide a more secure anchor point. Do not overtighten screws, as this can strip the mounting holes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack both Y-frame legs and inspect for any damage.
- Position your chosen tabletop upside down on a protected surface.
- Place the legs onto the tabletop, aligning the pre-drilled holes with your desired placement. Ensure they are positioned symmetrically for stability.
- Secure the legs to the tabletop using appropriate screws (not included). Use screws that are long enough to provide a strong hold but not so long that they penetrate the tabletop's surface.
Compatibility:
- These legs are compatible with a wide range of tabletop materials including wood, engineered wood, and potentially glass (with appropriate non-slip pads).
- Recommended for coffee table sizes where the 45 cm width provides adequate support. Ensure your tabletop extends slightly beyond the legs for a balanced look and stability.
Care:
- Clean the legs regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the lacquered finish.
- For stubborn marks, use a mild soap diluted in water, then wipe dry.
- Periodically check that the screws remain tight to ensure continued stability.
